Rejex lasts at least 1 year when applied according to directions and allowed to cure for at least 8 hours is the biggest difference.

Rinsed it off at the car wash, still not clean but good enough. Also checked underneath, timing cover is still not leaking. I also need to look into why the steering has on center play. Maybe the steering rack needs to be rebuilt.

Got in the teens here in DFW and now the radiator is slowly leaking out of driver side end cap. Ordered a TYC replacement on Amazon.

4” of unplowed snow in the parking lot behind our house so took Lexi out for a trounce in the snow here in DFW. Cycled thru all the actuators, finally tested MTS module I installed and crawl control for the first time... good stuff.



A nice break from trying to thaw the water lines in to our house... what a quality of construction crapshow down here...

After reading the stock speaker upgrade thread updates over last couple of years, and my wife noticing sound was a bit muffled on our recent 2000mi road trip, I finally did the dash speaker upgrade this weekend. I used the same JBL speakers techman originally used. I also used the Red Wolf wire harness noted in that thread. Very noticeable improvement especially in voice clarity. Those suckers are twice the weight of the oems too! Turned down both treble and midrange - expect to be dialing them in over several weeks. Thanks to the people on this forum for all your help!

The GX is phenomenal in the snow. You just have to worry about the other drivers on the road.

The more I see the Sport Wheels with the Wildpeak the more I like them. They look nice as a combo!

Received and installed the Dobinsons drawer kit. Had a couple small issues but I do like them.

I'm sure it's cheaper to build one if you have the means. Wood would be a lot heavier if you went that route. This one was $1512 shipped.
I probably would have bought the Ironman kit for $700 which is similar but they were out of stock.
