A little fatter and grayer, but that's pretty much spot on.

Loaded up the tire rack with recovery equipment and cooler. Heading out to Mexico for the race this weekend! Not racing this race so a few of the guys are going down to spectate.

Tell RN that I still hate him.

A little progress. Fuse 27 mod complete, 2 AC lines replaced, and the final PS line is due in tomorrow.

Glad I ordered some wheel bearings a few weeks back. Got that WUV WUV WUV bearing noise. I checked all the tires for cupping or being out of round, one was a bit low at 33 psi but put them all at 42 to standardize them and the noise persisted. I just did the diff rebuild so cant be that. Well at least it shouldn't. Gotta get them fixed soon. Have a short trip with a date planned this weekend involving the truck (cause the tesla don't tow) and a longer trip near the end of the month to camp.

Talk me out of this. My hood vents are I guess soap stained. I was going to paint them the same color dark grey as the grille. Yay or Nay?

I noticed most of my plastic trim parts had become sun faded. Hood vents included. After trying to figure out how best to make them look better, I landed on painting them. Ended up using Raptor liner. I like the textured look and the paint itself is really tough. Slowly been working my way around the truck with it, because it's on the expensive side (between $35 and $45 per can). If you do go with any kind of paint at all be sure to prep with a couple coats of adhesion promoter for the plastic parts.

I've posted some already, here's a few more since you asked nicely. This is the paint currently after about 3 years.

Those look really good, thanks for sharing.

That does look good. I used this on mine -

I put on 3 or 4 coats back in April. Door handle trim seems like it needs it again.

Yours looks pretty good after 3 years. My hood vents still look good.
