Cleaning the interior. This will be a multi-day thing given how dirty it is and the crappy weather.

Removed the 6-disc changer from the console. It wouldn't eject the magazine and there was an error code on the radio display. Who uses CDs still anyway? It's gonna get tossed unless someone really wants it. And since I don't have 50 posts, I can't formally post it. Given its condition, it's free.

Had dealer repair the actuator to restore a/c for driver side on my 2010 EB. They had to remove the dash for the repair, and it took them all day. They also recharged the system to stop a hissing sound I was getting under the dash before I lost the driver side a/c and from the rear after I lost the driver side a/c. Glad this fell under the CPO warranty.

Took the plastidip off the handles as the torquing of grabbing and pulling peeled it up. Might try again and do a better job, but I'm pretty sure the lack of ability to get a good coat on the backside and the constant torquing will ultimately kill the next job too.
Haha that's awesome Andrew!
Lol yeah its a great truck. Can sleep 2 comfortably IMHO. Also covered the trails and the creek crossing in 2wd on semi bald tires. Couldn't be happier!

Made and impulse buy at walmart and got pilot LED lights for the interior. I have to admit that its a 100% improvement and worth the money spent. I did the full interior including the glovebox. Will be getting the same brand for flood and tag lights asap, but will likely go with a better brand for brake, turn and reverse lights.

Changed oil and lubed what there was to lube, replaced all brake pads with Wagner ThermoQuiet semi-metallics, new battery (old one leaking acid around positive post), and 4 new Hankook LT 265-70-17 LR-E tires for towing our travel trailer, hitting the road Saturday for a week of camping in north Florida.

Order a set of rancho quicklift spring/strut kit, ceramic gibson headers and a airaid intake with dryflow filter. Cant wait to see them in as its been 2 years of stock and 4 since I modded anything.

Now to plan out some maintenance and replace the puddle lights with leds....

Put him to work today. First a load of junk, then a big load of branches and finally 30 big bags of top soil.

Well Andrew I hate to be the bearer of bad news but those Pilot 194 bulbs are junk. I,like you changed out all my interior,marker,license and high mount stop(5 bulbs by the way) with these only to have about half of them start to fail and flicker after a few weeks time. One element always starts to flicker on and off. Must build up too much heat in too small an area. I definitely wouldn't put them outside where you can't keep an eye on them and draw attention from the locals. I've changed out most to the Sylvania 194 single element bulbs but they are way pricier but I guess you get what you pay for.

Yeah I read some bad things after I installed them and was dissapointed. But so far they have been on for a few weeks (posted here well after getting them) and still going strong. I will keep an eye on them and if they need replacement Ill use the incandescent bulbs til I can get some superbrightled bulbs. Actually need to order some puddle lights here soon.
