The Feel Good Thread: What have you done to your rig recently?
I have done a whole slew of things to my truck recently, and it made me feel good haha.
I replaced my lower valence, properly mounted my front differential, changed the rear differential fluid, re-installed my Lund MoonVisor, put my interior back together, re-wired my radio, cleaned the truck up, greased it all up, changed the oil, swapped out all 5 rims and tires on the truck for another set, upgraded to some new headlight bulbs (already did an H4 conversion), swapped in an SR5 cluster, and replaced my idler arm. All the while I had a smile on my face haha.
What have you guys and girls done recently that made you feel good about what you did for your truck? Mods, upgrades, or repairs, please share. (I'm a poet and I didn't even know it, I can rhyme in time...

NOTHING
My locker, 4.88s, and 32x11.50s are sitting in my garage.
I'm waiting for the next paycheck so I can get my new brakes.
The ONE thing that is stopping me from installing the $1,000 worth of stuff just sitting there...

i washed my baby recently after an outing to the local riding area, i then rotated my tires and promptly drove it up a large pile of dirt and ceased forward motion for a few minutes between a huge piece of "rock" and a 15 foot drop.
today i painted a new d ring shackle for my tow strap.lol. i was bored
this saturday i will be doing an oil change and hopefully picking up a set of BJ spacers

I tightened a bolt on the exhaust manifold which made it quieter. yes, a bolt. not a nut on a stud. a bolt. PO put bolts on. changed the oil after about 4200 miles. put new gaskets in the exhaust, only to have them burn up last week when I accidently revved past 4500 rpm trying not to get stuck in some snow.....
I havent done anything to the 'runner yet...
