Was going to look for trails down past Monterey on old cost road but ended up driving 200miles with the wife for lunch...

Finally decided to clean the mud from TRR in April in all the door jams. Should of done it sooner. Boy the whole truck needs a good detailing with taking off all the seals and what not. But it can wait until after Raptoberfest now.

I like those sill plates. Are they decals or actually plates and where did you get them if you don't mind me asking?

Ask @Icecobra
He gets them made and sells them the last couple years in a group buy on a limited run in different colors. It is laser etched. He hasn't done it this year but might be cause he sold his raptor.

If you look in my list of mods, IceCobra Doorsills.

New driveshaft was giving me a hell of a thunk. so, jacked the truck up, dropped and greased the shaft. not too tough. did figure out with my new deaver +5's and 3.5's in the rear I need some new jack stands.

also, for the removal, I have the following tips:

1. grease pencil the front and rear of the drive shaft so you can install it in the same position (front is really important).
2. have a ratcheting 12mm open box end wrench for the flange bolts, makes it easier to get them in/out
3. you'll have to turn the shaft to torque them all (seems obvious, but i was scratching my head for a bit on this one). 75 ftlbs
4. use loctite Blue on the bolts
5. use Royal Purple grease on the spindle (pep boys has it)
6. to apply the grease I found a home depot paint stirrer stick to be the most helpful.
