    Well, I still have not installed the VSM. All wiring, etc., is done and run from the tailgate up behind the dash, but I still need to connect everything to my FRAC harness. Hopefully, in the next few days.

    In the interim, I did get the cup holder trim plasti-dipped. It did not go well. I rattle can stuff all the time, and it usually turns out nice, but plasti-dip? Spraying inside my closed garage, and at least one speck of lint, hair, debris, dirt fell onto the wet plasti-dip with practically every coat. I peeled it and started over three times. I even tried sanding a spot or two. Nope, that doesn't work. I finally gave up and just installed it. The matte black color was just okay; kinda bland. But the rubbery texture? Even my wife jumped the first time she put her cup down."What? You didn't let the paint dry?"

    So, I ordered the AJT trim.

    Here's my solution to that bolt to nowhere. A thin shim/washer I had in my stash. Its hole is just slightly smaller than the AJT nut for the back of the bolt, so it effectively is self-locking. That corner of my shifter trim is secured well. I feared it might pop-up given the thickness of the shift boot underneath it, but it holds great.

    Installed rear diff. breather relocate...

    Yup, got enough 5/16 fuel line hose.
    20230323_133521.jpg
    That bolt securing the hose to bed cross-member is a M6 x 16mm.
    20230323_133634.jpg
    Viair 92629 filter (I had the self-stick foam pad in a junk drawer).
    20230323_135550.jpg
    Viair filter mount fits in this hole (not tightly, but it works).
    20230323_133528.jpg
    3/8" NPT TO 5/16" hose barb, brass fitting.
    20230323_133610.jpg
    Loop at filter end to keep any condensation from dripping down the hose to the diff.

    I bought a TRD Pro grill, however I really don't like the covers available on the market, so I decided to create and print one with my 3d printer. I don't have TSS on my 2016 so I think this will be a much better option.

    I'll wait till WI is a bit warmer to use some bondo to smooth out the the top and paint. But I'm pleased with how the test fit in ABS turned out.

    The red ones that the previous owner had installed are cardinal red I believe. The ones I put in are black and pacific blue. I got the new ones from John, a member here who deals in them. He was great to deal with, a few text messages and order placed. Took about a month to get them to my door, can’t complain one bit.

    Thanks for the link. I looked through some older posts and cardinal red is def what I'll be going with. Will probably add the black stitching and a black pref center to balance it out a little.

    And that dropped you down to 8.4mpg! That hurts. That's not too different from what I'd like for a work trailer, and I expected better than that.

    I had a Mythosaur sticker on my cruiser tank back from 2014-2017 and damn, nobody knew what the hell it was, sigh. So I went to the Empire logo and people asked me if it was a damned snowflake. So I switched to sportbikes with the rest of the nerds!

    Fronts will work, but the rear seats in the DC are different than the Crew Max.

    Got it tuned today by Tom at Yota Performance Tuning. He uses Overland Tailor Tuning calibrations. Truck feels 100% improved, snappier throttle and crisp shifting.
