Today was maintenance day. Changed the oil, oil filter, fuel filter, greased the Johnny Joint's on the control arms, and front track bar. Rotated the tires. And did inspected everything. Sending an oil sample to Blackstone Labs tomorrow.

The ASFIR fuel filter skid plate got a couple of scrapes on it from Rausch Creek. Plus all of my new rims got rock rash from there too. This is the worse one.

Forgot to add about maintenance day. Bled the brakes because the pedal was feeling spongy. Got air bubbles out of the LR and LF calipers. Improved the pedal feel. But it's still down low. I'm going have to activate the ABS module and bleed them again. When I do that. I'll install my stainless brake lines.

My hydraulic tire dolly finally showed up. Ordered it from Summit Racing on the 3rd. Email them on the 13th asking what happened to it. They shipped out another one and got it yesterday. This will make it easier rotating tires. No more muscling the tires into place.

This is how I have my bed tool box set up. A 2x4 used as a spacer so that I can open the lid. Plus it gives me a place to keep my 30ft Bubba Rope. I have the tool box secured with a turnbuckle on each side. Have my Hi Lift jack mounted on the right side of the bed.

Got new tires.

Old tires were Eldorado Extreme Mud Claws in 37". Great traction off road but didn't wear worth shit. 17,000 miles on them

New tires. 37" Kenda MT's. Got them for $316 a piece. They balanced easy too.

Looks like the tread pattern is a cross between the KM3’s and the STT Pros, but at $100+ Less per tire. The only down sides at this point that I can see are 1. Are they consistent from tire to tire and availability when you’re traveling. I’ve been waiting to see if Discount tire will pick them up, and I haven’t seen it to date.
