Maybe not...I need to update the location. I am down SE off 74, but still work in downtown Indy daily.

Painted the rest of the hood. Has new Rough Country rear shocks. Done typical maintenance and enjoyed the truck since the last update.
Swapped the stock headlight housings for some basic replacements due to the factory getting some oxidation internally. Not sure how, but they are smooth outside and a mess inside. I reused my VVME 35 watt 5000K HID lows and some cheap fake hid in the highs.
Before:
After:
Ballast spot
Covers to keep out crap from housing

Someone said to post my Scangauge mounting. I got a couple pics and it showcases the mpg I am getting. At 70 I run about 2000 rpm and after a dozen blocks of city driving and 10 miles of interstate at 70 I was looking at 17.4
I got off the interstate and jumped on a side road and saw the mog climb to 18.0 and hold pretty steady while doing 50
I like the position of the Scangauge for easy use and view without blocking any other gauges or what not. Definitely one of my favorite tools.

Forgot to post this from end of January...
The wife did it...
Well it was an accident. I pulled grill to repaint it and left the hood unlatched yesterday morning. Wife hopped in it last night and about 45 mph...kaboom. luckily she handled it well. Got it stopped n then pulled into safe spot without further incident.
Update: I got a new windshield installed and all is good. Have new used hinges for hood because it is slightly misaligned at rear corners, but the fiberglass held up amazingly well for actually piercing the glass.

This weekend I was playing on some backroads in the snow and dropped through an ice covered creek. It felt deep and took 4x4 to get out, but did not notice this until the next day.
Ripped the exhaust off so it was deeper than i thought apparently. Gives me the motivation to get the magnaflow muffler and tips and such I have been holding off on installed. Probably wait til spring so the salt is gone though.

Did some clean-up and wire brush and paint under and on sliders. Added some LED tails. Also swapped some fluids in it. Looks good again.
