Chris's Sport S Max Tow - Boring Daily 'Build'

Damn you. That’s quite nice. Now I have to resist it? Thanks a lot!

I doubt I buy soon.

As it is I may end up just folding the back seat head rest down flat and strapping the Starlink to it for the short term rather than expensive mount I might not like I'm not sure mounting in the rear ceiling is gonna be my favorite bet. I have backseat passengers sometimes and not sure how its gonna affect headroom. Need to sit back there and see.

It’s also just bent steel. I could probably make one. Or two.

Is the 2nd battery still under rear seat on the diesel kit?

Yes. It’s under the hood for the gas kit but you can use the diesel kit on either gas or diesel. I prefer the diesel kit as it saves space under the hood.

Rear diff cover swapped. Bought three quarts of fluid - really needed four, but that's all Oreillys had. Went with 75W-140 for both ends. Front cover will have to wait for more fluid. Rear end took two quarts and I bet the front will end up needing more than the one quart.

I'll get my steering stabilizer relocation and FAD skid on the way and do that at same time as diff front diff cover.

Bought the limited slip stuff just in case. If the rear end sounds fine I can always return it.

Always need a spare tube of grease.

My truck is on the power steering recall list. Inspected it myself while changing the oil. Looks like a pass to me. Won't sweat it. This can wait until later this year when I take the truck in to get a couple other things addressed.

Looks great. Power steering pump wiring looks good. I need to check mine as well. I’ve obviously been parking mine at Walmart since the recall came out.
