Finish the dodge. Build a switch box with a harness so I can unplug and service the dash or move the same set up to my frontier if needed. It's my poor man SPOD

Added just a little more lift. Not drastic, but it is noticeable. I just cranked the coils up a little in the front and added shackles out back (with longer shocks and brake lines).

Seriously, tampons and waxed tacos! 

I want to see knuckle busting, blood and grease mods!

BTW I installed a new awning.  But my hands are too raw to take photos.
Haha yes while its a seemingly boring/easy addition it is more fun when trying to hold said trailer hitch in position with your head, back and knee while tightening bolts simultaneously.. Next will be my lift kit or amplifier for my sound system. After years of donating blood to my old mustang i've decided the less complicated mods are just perfect for me and the X haha

Little Diff love. Oil change on both front and rear diffs, Amsoil flavored.

I hit up a local custom hose shop here in Temecula called Top Line. They make hoses with proper fittings right there on the spot. The guy had hundreds, if not thousands, of ends and fittings and adapters in the shop, and could make you pretty much anything you needed. I had my ARB twin compressor, which had a standard NPT fitting, plus the ARB aluminum tank with weird JIC fittings. The guy whipped me up a hose from the compressor to the tank, and from the tank to my little manifold/fittings I had plumbed into the car, and it was like $16. There are probably a few little industrial hose shops like that around.

Also, the suggestion to go to Lowes or Home Depot is a good one when you're dealing with all NPT fittings and don't need any special hoses. They stock pretty much anything you'd need.

Transfer Case fluid change, and in-cabin filter change. I don't think the original owner ever changed them...

Joe, great tip about the air line and fittings! Great to know!

Fridge hinge replacement...





Also conducting a cabinet recalibration to fix some temp issues we have been experiencing.



Fridge is 5 years old now. Still love this thing.

Freight cost more than the part!!

Haha, I wish I had time to drink some of that beer yesterday.  After we met, we went up to Ridgecrest and had dinner with my dad.  However, I will be trying out that horchata beer tonight.  Yummy!

Oh, I forgot to mention about the boots and after seeing the rub marks in your pic it reminded me to mention something.  You can run these without boots, if you want.  I removed the boots since on these shocks just because they would catch dirt and sand and rub the struts, as you can see.  I also removed the boots on my new struts, before I even installed them.  It's your choice, really, on whether you want to put boots back on them.
