Just purchased a new never used TRD supercharger on Ebay for 2475 after shipping! Fingers crossed it shows up as described. Wasn't planning on buying a supercharger until this fall/winter but couldn't pass this deal up.

Engine Maintenance

Yesterday I Changed-
Oil Mobil 1 Full Synthetic
6 new injectors
New Valve Cover Gaskets
6 new spark plugs
New NGK wires
New cam half moons
New Fuel Filter

Was blowing all sorts of black smoke prior....now she purrs like a kitten
 
Pulled out my old body mounts and replaced with Energy Suspension, removed all the body lift spacers as well. Man was it a job, a lifetime in the rust belt makes any mundane task a PITA.

How big of a difference do you see in ride quality?
 
Installed a NEW Battery in Roscoe, loaded up camping/hiking gear then my younger Son and I went to West KY to Land Between the Lakes. Hiked 25 miles during the 3 days we were there. Did some 4 wheeling too. Tokyo Drifted sideways thru a deep/wide mud hole.......Made some awesome Dad/Son memories.....
 
Hey all, New to the forum. Today I checked the oil after getting to work and am now getting a filter and oil to change tomorrow. Have a healthy safe day ya'll.
 
Filled up the tank, sealed the sunroof gaps with black RTV, and started cleaning all the caked up gunk off the skid plates with mineral spirits so I can paint them.
 
Picked up some shifter bushings from the dealer, should have them installed by Tuesday. Also picked up a new transmission dipstick, for part of the old one is stuck in the transmission at the moment.
 
Quarantine Boredom

Decided to recondition my skid plate, turned out better than I was expecting! Sanded down 20 years of rust, used a wire wheel for the stubborn areas, then etched primed it, primer, red farm & implement spray paint, and matte clear coat.

Been trying to spruce up the old ride some. These helped make it seem less dirty/grimy.

What a lucky purchase. Ive been looking almost every other day on eBay for one. If I would of came across that ad it would of been bought too. Thats a smoking deal! Let me know if you decide not to install.
 
Cleaned the skid plates of years of sludge and then grabbed my wife for some social distancing and we took her for a quick ops check since I just recently got this and my son never used its full capabilities. The 5 minute trail had a short but decent descent, shallow mud, two down trees (one 6 inches, the other maybe 9 inches), and a turnaround in tall brush to go back the same way I came in. I made sure that the 4 low and e-locker worked right.
