What a 4th gen dash should look like when wheeling

Lit up like a Christmas tree

why is the emergency brake on?

replaced seized rear caliper and rotor, bled brake line.

why is the emergency brake on?

Disabled the pressure sensor on my master cylinder with a switch. It senses a fault in the braking system and shuts off all traction components except ABS

seems like the water pump I got from napa is absolute crap, car was overheating today. it will have to be looked at when I'm back from my shift in two weeks.

Also, did anyone have their camshaft ends rust? mine were rusted, and leaked oil a little bit.

That's napa for ya!

The camshaft shouldn't be rusting... Might have had a bad seal and low on oil for a while to allow for rusting

I changed spark plugs & wires.

I also sprayed the tag surround trim with black Plasti Dip. Emblems were done a few days ago too.

Started to teach my girlfriend how to drive off road. Did really well for her first time wheeling and only the second time behind the wheel of The Trail Groomer!

Video makes the incline and rocks look like a flat trail... Video never does justice when it comes to wheeling.

First truck: JDkilroy
Second truck: Mine with my gf driving

I usually keep it on, but today was wet leaves and rocks so the traction control kept killing my momentum. I just locked it up in 4lo and used the brake and skinny pedal, worked WAY better.

Out with the Matte Black, and in with the Gunmetal.

Before:

After:

Any pics with the gunmetal on the runner? I thougt that the matte black looked great on your truck. But I think the gunmetal will look just as good.

I'll post pictures when I get them on. I won't be able to get them on for another 2 weeks or so when I go back home for Thanksgiving break.
