    Oh gotcha. Sorry I don't know about that. Even with an extension I would think it would be easy to use. I didn't have any slippage. I think it is around $20 on Amazon and you can probably return it if you no likey

    I changed my rear diff fluid a few months ago right around 60k (66k currently). Had 1 tiny shard that I'm pretty sure was from one of the bolt threads, as there were no other metal fragments at all. Other than that I'm confident it would have been fine until 100k.

    Keep in mind I don't pull any trailers, and only light duty in the bed (sports equipment, dogs for trips to the park, honey-do runs to Lowe's, etc). So if you're hauling or pulling frequently, then I'd change every 50-60k.

    Was the plug orientation on yours backwards? I had to de-pin my stock plug light and use that instead of the plug that came with the aftermarket light

    Brother I've been so happy with this lift and it looks and drives awesome!! It's a 7 inch coilover pro comp with amp steps, I put 0airbags in the rear for two reasons 1: the front coilovers make the front sit just a bit higher than the rear and it was driving me crazy. 2: when pulling my toy hauler or my jeep it would level the rear.

    Question does anyone have the stealth fighter winch bumper made by Addictive desert design? I've been really considering changing my stock bumper to it but not sure yet because I really do like the stock bumper. So my question is how do you like it?

    Nope! Just crawled under the truck and got her done. Would have been a lot less painful with a lift though.

    If you don't have a lift you can just use a couple ramps to lift the passenger side of the truck. Gives you plenty of room to work. :thumbsup:

    Oh, and I highly recommend wearing gloves. My knuckles got sliced up a bit wrenching around the heat shields over the exhaust. Edges on those things are reallll sharp.

    But chicks dig scars....

    Gloves are definitely a good idea.:fistbump: I hit the bolts with PB Blaster the day before install, and then again first thing and let them sit while I installed my skids. The older your truck is, the more crucial this step is.

    Have had this rolling around my head a few weeks after installing the wireless charger. The switch is just a basic SPST rocker that I use in my day to day job and of course same with the wire and connectors. I will post pics but all you want to do is break a power wire, real straight forward. Please ask any questions other than what switch, that one the for a heat well at Taco Bell. Any SPST switch will work cause you don't have any amp load to worry about.

    FYI don't believe all the cop shows where they disarm the bomb cutting the correct color wire. Wires don't care what color they are!

    So I'm confused why you need the switch? Because it turns on every time when the truck is started?

    So you can turn it off. If you are going to put something else in that spot, or if the light is too bright at night (some have said this), but that's all I can think of.

    Yes. I also knew I could do it for zero cost and I set stuff there without thinking and read it could damage a charger that cost $175.

    I just push the little charging button in the middle once to turn it off and then once again to turn it back on(while the truck is running).
