Also, yesterday, I finally got that damn oil filter off after 3-hours and almost giving myself a black eye. The jackass who put it on before me obviously didn't hand tighten it. . I replaced it with the early 7.3 PSD oil filter so I could get an extra quart in there. Next up is the fuel filter, that shouldn't be too difficult.
I also went and bought some new tires and batteries at CostCo. When I bought it, it was running on snow tires that were down to the secondaries, and the batteries were 6 years old. The tires are BFG A/T KO2 and the batteries have 850 CCA each.
I'm currently looking for a headache rack or bolt in "roll bars", if anyone has any recommendations. I'll probably be ordering an add-a-leaf front kit at the same time. I'm also looking into getting one of those wheel-well fuel tanks from Titan and then a wheel-well tool box from DeeZee, just so I can use up some of that space.
In unrelated news, I bought a kayak yesterday!

You can get them with or without toolbox brackets.

I also ordered to of the DeeZee wheel hump plastic toolboxes to use some of that empty space, because why not? I'm not gonna put anything too valuable in them, just odds and ends.
Oh yeah, I also snapped the tailgate cables that bear some of the weight so I need to replace those as well!

close. that is a Jetstrobe bar. it has since been replaced with a Whelen Justice LED bar, and the Jetstrobe is going on the 04 rack body when it comes back from getting the cab replaced.
