Love the wheels tho

That's why I will never buy a new vehicle. That price is outrageous. I could buy a ski condo for that!

Last week I picked up the truck from the body shop after a new paint job. Every panel was flaking paint, so it needed to be done. A bit of overspray in places, but it looks almost new.

Yesterday I replaced the loose idler arm and bracket with Moog, and attempted the pitman arm. A puller, impact wrench, hammer, breaker bar, and blowtorch couldn't get that thing off. I'm probably going to have to take it somewhere.

Today I replaced the sway bar end links and brackets with Energy Suspension polyurethanes.

Tomorrow, I'll be replacing the brakes and rotors with Powerstops, and next weekend will be the inner and outer tie rods, all 4 ball joints (all Moog), and if I have time, the upper and lower control arm bushings (Energy polyurethane).

Man, I'm sore.

Get it lowered

Get it lowered

Eh, lowered trucks really aren't my thing. I've already got oversized tires and a leveling kit (+1.5 front).

I hear ya. After spending all day yesterday sliding around under mine, hitting my head so many times and smashing my knuckles trying to get seized up bolts off while installing headers and a full exhaust I'm in a lot of pain today too. At one point I was bleeding from my head, elbow and knuckle at the same time lol. But the results and feeling of accomplishment are always worth it.

Replaced the PCV valve for a warm-up & moved on to the fuel filter. After failing to remove the factory filter I did some internet search and found that getting it off really is no joke. But I got her done, this time BEFORE the storms came through. If you don't have the 2-piece disconnect disc that slides into the low profile handle, you will most likely need to remove the factory filter with the outlet line and cut the filter off with a hacksaw. At this point you are able to remove the remaining piece of the factory unit with a generic disconnect tool.

As you can see in the pic, there is not enough space to get a disconnect tool on the line due to the boss or enlarged portion of the exit line just after the canister. This creates a major headache for certain owners with VIN "z" flex fuel engines.

A hacksaw is the LAST tool I thought I'd ever need to replace a fuel filter. The store didn't sell the 2-piece disconnect disk so I had to go plan-B. I tried to modify the blue tool by trimming it down, but then it was too short to release the prongs within, so I had to buy another 1 with the hacksaw for another $15 but that's the sacrifice you make to avoid fiddle-F***'n around. Sometimes i wonder why everything has to be so damn complicated.

Installed the rear cubby in the center console to replace that useless radio control unit. I finally hooked up the rear power point too.

Cool, I have a panel from a power inverter in that location with two house plugs. Cuz, ya never know!

Not much of a mod, but it is "genuine leather" and was 50% off so for $9 I was happy. Better than that flaky oem wheel...not a huge fan of these but I also didn't want to stitch up a leather cover either.

That cubby was a GM option? I like that better then the radio setup in it, I'd like to find one

Yup, it is. I actually grabbed it out of a Silverado with the same console. That radio control wasn't even hooked up on mine. It was just there to cover the hole.

Do you happen to know a part number? And it only came in Silverado's? I've never seen it in an SUV before, I like it better then the radio cause hell nobody is ever gonna use that

Shaggy pulled our boat for the first time. This usually is my Dodge Ram's job, but we had three of our kids with us.

Anyone here ever get a custom paint job? I used to be into the scene a lot, but have been low-key since my son was born 6 years ago. I've got a decent painter lined up with a good resume. I'd like to stick to something close to my oem green as a total color change is a pain financially. Figured I'd bring it to this part of the forum for folks to chime in.
I like this over a black basecoat

I was originally looking at the chameleon as I have had a previous car done like this but it's too flashy for me these days

If I did a total repaint I'd do a mocha brown color with a heavy brown candy Pearl, but then I'd need to change to a bronze wheel like @Red Rocket and I'm not really up for that right now.

With body work and the hookup price is be in about $1300 what y'all think of that green?

I'm not really sure about any other vehicles, I just happened onto this by accident.

Hopefully you can see the part number on the back of it.
