Thank you
not much going on with the truck right now everything seems to be good. I"ve started driving the Mercedes again so the truck is getting a break. I'm likely going to do the valves today I'll be sure to take some pics and a before and after video comparison

Awesome truck and like mentioned before, that gauge setup is wicked!
If you ever plan on changing your seats and those mirrors, sell em to me! The sr5 seats in my truck is some sort of bucket/bench hybrid lol and I hate em already. Cant find sr5 buckets anywhere. As for those swing away mirrors, I cant seem to find the ones that are pointed out in the back like yours. I can only find the rounded ones.
Question, for that Jag ALT, besides the pulley, were there any brackets you had to make to mount it??

As for updates on the truck i have none it drives awesome and the ac works great went camping last week and dint do any wheeling worth taking pics. All I need is to relocate the rear shocks for more articulation and switch to a flat pitman arm on my ps box then shes good to on some serious trips. heres my boat lol

How about them seahawks now? Lol the truck has been running great I had to drill a stud out due to a broken locking lug nut and I changed to a flat pitman arm cause I was hitting my other one with the springs under full flex I put the iroks on for the winter yesterday

Canopy is typically off I only put it on maybe 2 months a year at the most sometimes for camping some times for hauling things I don't want wet plus I only paid $40 for it 
I've been driving the truck again the last few days because of the rain and I forgot how much I love being all the way up in it I get a lot more respect on the road in it than my GTI

You have a bad rig man. Wish mine was an xtra cab.
Your truck looks really tall. Are you just running 4" TG springs? I was planning on 4" TG's and 35's or 37's but after seeing your truck, I'm not sure if it would fit in my garage with that setup.

Yes TG 4in springs and the TG spring hanger along with the boomerang shackles it is pretty tall but under extreme flex I do rub with my 36in iroks
I haven't damaged one yet but it would have to actually sever the connection for it to affect the rest but it is easily spliced with snap on connectors

Damn! Do you know if your truck fits in a standard height garage? Or how tall your truck measures? I cannot/will not park mine outside where I live. The hood rats would steal it in a second.
