…also, I noticed my coolant reservoir was low when I returned from the trip; it was halfway between the cold and hot full marks when I started the trip a couple weeks ago.

I topped it off, but will be watching it closely. There are no obvious leaks anywhere, so I suspect one of the turbo coolant lines may have a slow leak. One more thing to add to the upgrade list!

What. An absolute. B!T$@!

Installed the console safe (mind the messy bin full of random crap), the Icon drop shackles, SDHQ Bump stop relocation kit, the Timbrens and, of course, the Icon springs. What an absolute pair of bears they were, it was like wrestling the Cheshire cat's grin into a gawdam frown after giving him catnip. But despite this, I gotta say: WOW, what an improvement in ride quality! Feels like a brand new Raptor again. Granted, I threw on those "new" shocks in the rear to boot, but still! I didn't realize just how flat the stock leafs were til I was looking at the before and after. Just the short drive from my old man's garage to back home trying to hit every bump I could find felt like riding on a cloud. A big ol' shout-out to @Nick@Apollo-Optics for dialing me in and getting me what I needed. Definitely gonna be a repeat customer!

Still gotta slap the "new" front shocks on, but I'm gonna get to that on the next day off. The diff covers and fluids will also have to wait for another weekend. It'll get done before October rolls around.

I also have to add coolant occasionally, it's just every once in a while, so I'm not super concerned, just about to hit 140K

Emptied JLT catch can in preparation for an oil change. This is what I’m getting every 4500-5000 miles. About 20% filled.
That’s pretty much what mine looked like this last time… it usually has some on top that looks like that, but the bottom of the can looks like this:

…nasty stuff:

How many miles are on your truck? I checked my Mishimoto cans after about 3500 miles. It was the first time checking them after putting them on. I barely had any in mine. The truck has 73k miles on it.
