    I was the same, but I'm going to keep my truck for as long as it will run. I imagine those sensors can rip off running through Johnson grass, or by a 1/2oz clod of dirt, so the chances of that happening more than twice in the next 300k miles made the purchase seem worth it. I got plain aluminum ones from SDHQ, which were about $100. I took the time to paint them; but I don't wash my undercarriage (on the truck) so that was kind of a waste of time.

    Always wanted to try a set of Yoko MTs. They're so good looking but I've seen mixed reviews.

    I removed the guide brackets, and had my wife help by cranking up the 35” full size spare while I was pushing the tire forward. It fit between my CB +3 shackles…barely. Only about 1/2” between the tires and the shackles :eek2:

    Do it. I’m on my 4th set. Best tire I’ve had. I ran bfg mt, KO2, duratracs(2nd best), at3w. Nothing comes close to these for my needs.

    I was too lazy to do it myself! :rofl:
    I had the shackles installed with the TRD Pro Fox shocks and the CB TRD Pro lift kit all at once. The installer was able to pull out the bushings in one piece on both sides, which was pretty impressive considering 75,000 miles. But then again, he probably had the right tools. :thumbsup:

    I’m considering going with their MT next time. I have their x-ATs and they have been great and look brand new still at 25k.
    Although the MTs are currently cheaper…

    decent. I can get them to slip on a ramp if I give it gas, but other then that a rather planted feeling.

    Changed the oil and then washed the 2020.

    This was the first timing draining oil with the Fumoto valve. It worked well - took about 15 min, maybe a little less. It’s definitely a cleaner method.

    The OEM plastic filter housing is still a PITA. The silver drain cap wouldn’t come off, so the whole filter unscrewed while I was only trying to remove the silver cap to do the pre drain thingy. Strange it was tight since I didn’t over torque last time.

    Changed today at 8,820 miles
    Previous change at 2,100 miles

    So, that’s 6,720 miles on Amsoil SS 5w30 w OE filter over 15 months. I planned to change at 12 months but ran into supply chain non sense. The drained oil looked slightly darker than I expected, found 2 small metal bits in the filter. The first change had a few more bits but not many.

    I rotated my tires and replaced the wheel well splash guards with Rad Rubber Designs thick rubber units. The passenger side forward one ripped and is what caused me to replace them

    Nice. I flat out lost my driver side one day so I installed Ark Splash Guards on both sides. The passenger side sucks to put on.

    Cleaned her! First time in almost 2 months we got a stretch of no rain. Though, next week we get a hurricane … great. Dog tax included.
