Finally took off the Rough Country steps. After getting hung up on an obstacle a few weeks ago I was on a mission to find something to replace them and decided on the Smittybilt SRC side armors.

I was going to do the LOD destroyers but a) really didn't wanna drill into the frame b) little on the heavy side and c) price. Saw these for $400 and figured Id give em a go. The only thing Im curious on these is the finish but my brother in law does powder coating so I'll have him redo if they dont hold up. Also, they are wide enough, they should catch a bit more mud and hopefully keep it out of the door handles.

Looking good. Note that drilling is not required for the LOD destroyers, but they sure are heavy!

Catching up on this week. Back to Micky Thompson Baja Boss A/T's (from BFG KO2's), and just installed Terra Acoustics Front SoundStage Speaker Upgrade... Can definitely hear a difference!

Put my soft top back on the other day, was going to leave the back windows off but we're about to get very likely freezing rain here in North Texas over the next few days. So I decided to put my soft top windows back on, it just wasn't as perfect as I was hoping.

I'm guessing partially because they sat in a box for the last year and also because it's like 32° in Anna, TX Right now, the windows aren't as flexible as I remember. So I can't even close up the back fully. Thought that's not a big deal, I have no tailgate so it's not like it's going to be airtight anyways. ;)

I'm hoping we can get some 60 or 70° weather in the next week or two, a couple hours in the sun and I should be able to stretch it back into place.

I rotated my tires today at my dad's house as well, first time rotating the tires since they were put on my Icon Rebound Pro's. The shop where I got them done, whoever the heck tightened the lug nuts, two of the wheels had three total lug nuts that were way too tight. So I had to use a makeshift breaker bar extender to break them free.

While I was down there I checked the brake pads and rotors, still looking like new after only 17,000 mi.

Cleaned out the garage yesterday so I was able to fit both cars in the garage.

Not sure the wife will like my parking, but I leave for work 3 hours before she even wakes up, so as long as she doesn't cut the wheel too early everything should be fine. 😒

Looks good, do your pre-runner amber lights affect the front facing camera in any way? Still good visibility at night?

I installed a clean used HIKE IT-X9 throttle controller. Thanks to @r.stevens for an A+ purchase experience.

After a bit of experimentation during the shake-down drive, I've settled on Cruise +5. I'll eventually experiment with the learning mode, also ("Auto IQ") to determine if reality lives up to the ad copy.

The control panel will find a permanent home after my OCD and I come to terms. ;)
