Installed a new AFE Pro Dry S filter, it only made sense to get one that I clean out and re-use after I go off road. On another note my engine bay still needs a heavy duty cleaning.

I also did a little bit of mall crawling and exploring the other day, decided to...
Haven't had too much going on with the truck lately, last week I touched up my sliders and my shackles. I also gave the truck a good washing inside and out, then had it rain an hour later.
At the end of June, and beginning of July I took a couple of trips, here are some pics.
Red River Gorge...
I got a couple quotes for shops in Hendersonville then ended up doing it myself with a lot of help from a couple of other guys. BMS offroad is probably who I would've I went with because they do a lot of good work, they quoted me $750 including the alignment (I already had the parts). The other...
Go to their website, the 3 day pass is $7. Make sure you fill out the dates correctly before you purchase. From there just print it and throw it in the truck. They’ve never checked mine, but I don’t mind giving the Park $7, I like what it goes towards.
Someone got me the filter as a gift so I went for it. Replaced the foam filter for the secondary air pump with the UNI-107. I also really need to clean my engine bay, but that won't happen until after Red River Gorge this weekend.
I'm hoping the cover doesn't restrict the airflow too much...
This birthday was good to me. Got a few new things for the truck, all the little stuff that I don't ever want to spend my own money on.
Got organizers for the glove box (didn't take a pic yet) and console.

Set of pouches that slide between the seat and console, haven't decided...
I like to take my Ryobi fan, it's good for helping to keep cool, getting a fire going, and helping to keep away some of the bugs, it also runs on the same batteries that I use for my small chainsaw, and a light that I have. Battery will usually last at least 8 hours.
Wife and I take our dogs with us all the time, they usually just ride in the backseat. They settle down pretty quick on anything more than about 20 minutes, otherwise they like their heads out the window.
Herman has been riding around with me since he was 8 weeks old, loves going for rides, and...
Went to LBL a while back and had a blast. It was the first time out since I put the lift on, and I was shocked (no pun intended) at how much nicer it was. I knew there would be an improvement but this went beyond what I was hoping for.
Favorite thing about offroading with the new setup is...
Been a while since I've updated anything here so here's some of what I've been doing the past few months.
I finally got around to extending the rear diff breather, here's the parts I used.
Here's the hose connected to the new union.
I decided to mount the new breather in the storage...

Thanks, I went with Fox coilovers and shocks, Light Racing upper control arms, and a 3 leaf add a leaf in the rear. I got a build thread started here if you wanted more pics or details.

I put the lift on yesterday with some help from a few guys and after about 100 miles there's no vibes, rubbing, or other issues so far. I'll look over everything again tonight when I get home. I didn't get any measurements because the truck was off the ground by the time I thought about it.

I was a bummed not to make the meeting, I was looking forward to it. I ended up doing stuff with my wife Saturday so that I could have Sunday to put on my lift.
Hope to see you all out on the trails soon.
