Steps, Lines-X and bed cover. I'd like do some custom paint work but she's so purdy like she is. I might remove that FX4 sticker though.

I did my u-joints and center bearing, next will be ball joints and tie rod ends, plus repacking the front wheel bearings.
My parking brake switch doesn't indicate, when it's on, so I am going to replace it
and see if that helps.

I replace my parking brake switch and it works, now.
I still need to do the front end and install the '08 tow mirrors.

I need to replace my ball joints one of these days, but I've been procrastinating because they aren't that bad yet. I also want to upgrade my mirrors to the newer style, but there's no rush on that.

I am with the pay it off camp. If I have money for truck toys, then I have money for the truck loan payment. Truck loan payment will win for for the next 12 months if I things go right. That will be about 18 months ahead of payment schedule and about 8 months behind the number in the head. lol

Other than that. Really nothing big I have planned. I like the truck as is. I do want to install the bed lighting. I have the parts on workbench but I cannot find my work bench. It was last seen in the basement along a wall.

Right now, on my list is:

U-Joints, Driveshaft Center Bearing
Service Rear Differential,
Replace EGR Sensor,
4 Wheel Rotors/Brakes

Then she'll be all done for a while...hopefully.
Wrapped up the Driveshaft work, Diff Fluid change, and the EGR sensor.
Productive weekend.
