Very nice! You should use them this weekend.

I should see if your friend wants some side work.

ill let him know, he doesnt want to weld on other peoples stuff for now because he can only use flux, once he gets an argon tank he will be more confident in his welds, he hasnt welded in like 10 years lol hes a tech at the dodge dealership here.
 
Finally got around to doing the budget HID retrofit.

Ordered a single din switch panel from Paranoid Fabrications. I have some new switches to add down the road and want to keep it clean.
 
Today and yesterday I've purchased:

air filter
oil filter
5 quarts oil
battery terminal
bulbs
carpet cleaner
armor-all type stuff
brake fluid

Got plans to be posting here again soon.....
 
new clutch

Just had the clutch replaced on our 2000 SR5. Gave out with 199,800 on it, I think it was the original. Cost me $850 including turning down the flywheel at my garage guy. New Bilstein 4600's are next, the drivers side rear shock was broken off at the top bolt. No wonder it bounced. This'll be a good oppertunity to change the fuel filter and the E brake while it's up on the lift.
 
Finally got some of my parts installed:
Auxbeam Light bar on Relentless Fab Lo-Pro brackets
Rigid D2 on CBI Ditch Light Brackets

The output is insane :guitar3:

Now to decide what size and brand tire to run on my new Trail wheels

Hey nice project! Got any write up on this? This leather seats get so cold now in winter lol

I understand what you mean, the leather doesn't help on cold mornings/nights.

This is the dual stage Dorman heated pads. I know there are other brands available but this brand has worked well for me in the past. Each kit will come with hog ring pliers. They're worthless, you can put them aside.

To get power to the seats. I just purchased one and tapped both heated seat pads to it. I found a fuse slot next to the fuse box next to your left knee area that's powered by ACC (accessory) or IGN (ignition).

I don't know if you have already taken seat covers off before but it is a good idea to get the right tools for dealing with the hog rings (the metal rings holding the seat covers to the foam). The task in my opinion is slightly difficult and a pain and very time consuming. BUT.. I have done this before so coming into it this time I bought the right tools for the job and it saved me hours of pained labor. I suggest getting this:

https://www.amazon.com/HOG-RING-CUTTER-2196-AUTOMOTIVE/dp/B01M0R73BX

Use the hog rings that come with the Dorman kit, they are long enough for our application. I juse use two needle nose pliers when installing the hog rings back in.

Good luck
