    Put some ko2s on the stick trail wheels. Call me crazy but I dig these wheels for stock.

    Which system did you go with for the charging mod? Wonder if you had any issues closing the fuse box after that?

    I just swapped the alternator sense fuse, with a GM fused diode. Didnt spend a dime, took about 3 seconds to do, and, ya, the cover fits. Its almost a direct swap. Ive done the same thing, in my old car audio days for going on decades... cheers.

    Dang..!! That looks neat. Did you have to trim anything? I thought I saw somewhere the GM diode need some trimming.

    I absolutely love to upgrade to a group 31 agm but little scared with those charging mods if there's any impact to sensitive electronics or alternator life. I would probably decide in next few weeks. Group 34 / 35 or if I can get confidence on the diode mod I will go group 31. Thinking of Rago battery box as well.

    Nothing much lately but did swap out the interior lights with the
    Brishine kit off Amazon. Cheap and effective...but maybe too cheap? We'll see how long they last.
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B088QHZM3M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8

    I'd like to add more cargo lighting. Surely someone has done it? Yeah I know, search search search....

    A bit, to get it to set in deeper, I used the old ladies nail file, ... took about 30 seconds. I got the Victory4x4 second bat tray. That took about 9 mins to put in. And, theres no worry, it cant possibly charge so high to do any damage. It just tricks the alt, into thinking its a volt or so lower is all. People (including me) have done it for years, especially with pcm controlled systems. Theres no fear. Id say, charing your new agm, .2 or .4 volts higher than rest, is more of a issue, than anything over charging. But, all up to you. Me, i want that damn volt and change on these agms...want all i can get.

    That looks like a good kit for the price especially having different bulbs for different places.

    I paid the same amount $20 for a kit with same type of bulbs. The kit you found might be better.

    This is mine for reference:

    I’ve done some cargo lighting mods. An easy one and a little more involved one. Together they provide all the cargo light I’ll ever need.

    Quicker one: More work:

    I also did a cargo bay lighting mod: A 3,000 lumen Ledlenser flashlight in a monkey fist mounted on my molle panel. I like that the flashlight serves a dual purpose.20210403_222309.jpg 20210403_222315.jpg

    Yeah I went to him for my rock sliders and skid plates. I will see what the owner of this company does about it on Monday as I don’t feel comfortable driving it with the whine. I thought about counting it as a loss and going to another place and having them look it over. Pay them some money for their time and seeing what they have to say. Starting not to trust the shop I went to with all the problems I have had. I will know more Monday. Thanks for the suggestion to Jeff.

    Why did you choose the wheelers springs over the Eibach springs? Also, how’s your ride? My Eibach springs and shocks should be in next week.
