Did a Morimoto 2-Stroke LED upgrade to my Hi beams today. They are very nice and bright. A great compliment color-wise to my Xtreme Pro LED low beams. I hope the cooling fans hold up. Also ordered some 1" Cornfeds for the rear. Replacing the front shocks and adding the spacer will be the next move.
What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Broke another toggle switch for the OnX6 light bar, that's 2 inside of a fortnight! I figure this is caused by:
1) #@!$%!@ Cold, days of highs 10-15deg below freezing
2) Construction, Housing/mount is metal, Flat toggle (which keeps breaking) is plastic and hollow
3) Not paying enough attention getting into the truck with cold weather gear and clodhoppers so my knee bumps the switch sideways instead of up/down
In the past bumping the switch usually just accidentally turns on the light bar. Because it's so $#@!%$# cold, the plastic is brittle and won't take any force that isn't in a direction the switch can move. I did call Baja Designs again and explained what's happening. Their agent seemed shocked our high here today was a measly 20F, lucky he's in SoCal. He offered a different metal toggle switch, but I'm afraid I'd still end up bumping that and breaking the housing or the mount. It took about 3 hours of sorting through switches online to find one I didn't think would break (different design), and would be aesthetically pleasing as well as match the momentary switch for dust/strobe modes. I considered an OEM looking switch, but didn't want to replace the dust/strobe mode one as well. CH4x4 & AOB switches aren't exactly cheap, and not having them keeps me from trying to short out the dash illumination circuit! Boy do I miss having a local Radio Shack to just run to and grab something that would work!

Ah, you found the Harbor Freight secret treasure! Those US General boxes are awesome. I'm considering buying the newer ones to replace my cabinet and chest as they're deeper front to back now. I could use a couple more inches.
They're an amazing deal though!

Installed the Genuine Suburu H631SFJ101 Tweeter Kit.
Great improvement over the stock and its plug and play. Took all of 15 minutes to install.

Nice truck ! How are the tires in the winter ? I'm guessing you guys don't need the snowflake logo on them.
Weeeeeeeelp, that settles it. Definitely doing the rack removal once I get beefier tires.
I second that! I have one of the mobile ones and it’s great. If you guys don’t already know, use Harbor Freight Tools Coupon Database - Free coupons, 25 percent off coupons, 20 percent off coupons, No Purchase Required coupons, toolbox coupons to find the good discounts and coupons for free stuff. I got $80 or $90 off that tool chest I bought with one of their coupons.

12 inches of snow in the center of the road with 9.6 clearance. My skid plates left their pattern in the center snow. Knee deep on the side of the road. Got out of the track and was pulled out 2 times. The big guys beat the snow down to make a turnaround area for me. I may not go with them next time.
The winch cable is to the front of my T4 to help me with the turnaround.

Deleted some more chrome with a tail light swap. Not sure [emoji848] if you really can tell.

That is pretty rad! I had a 81 Torker that I would love to get back one day, but the only complete bike I've seen on ebay was $4k.
I had a Dyno similar to that years later, but it got stolen within a week. Savages.
