    Patched up a hole in my frame to pass inspection. Would’ve loved for it to be totally smooth but I only have a tig machine so pulsing the pedal with the back of my knee got old quick. Primed and painted up. Rusted out bed is next. Going to try to do it on the frame.

    Some.
    Working on changing out the brakes. I have the Autozone top end pads and rotors, but the rotors warped and pads are over half worn at less than 2 yrs. Installing Powerstop drilled and slotted rotors with carbon fiber ceramic pads.
    Fronts are done, just giving my back and knee a break.

    Edit: steering wheel shake gone and my truck no longer dances when I hit the brakes.

    Worth the price and effort once all said and done. They will last much longer.

    Changed the engine oil and filter as well as the air filter. Used Pennzoil pure platinum and OEM filters.

    Hope so. Got the back installed and did the break in.
    Wasn't too much effort though. Pads and rotors haven't even been on for 2 years, so everything came apart easily. I do need to adjust my parking brake.

    What gauge did you use? I’m thinking 18-20g

    I used 22 gauge. Originally planned on 16 but it was to thick to shape with a hammer. Here's a before and after having it rhino lined.

    Changed both rear wheel bearings.

    $850 lighter in the pocket, but no more grinding/clicking. Did fuck up a speed sensor, so I got that additional expense as well.

    Changed out both primary 02 sensors. Noticed driver side was real hard to get out. Some threads on sensor were broken. Header bung threads looked OK. But next time I have to pull the LT header will weld in a new O2 bung.

    IMG_0149.jpg Unreal results on a tailgate strut that functions. I can’t believe it took me 1.5 years of ownership to do this.
