Just watched a video about someone doing Poughkeepsie. Looks like a good trail.

Made it up the wall my first trip. Second trip couldn't make it up and had to winch up.

Yeah it's one of the most scenic trails you can do in Colorado. It's also one of my favorites.

Did some work and got the bumper on today.

I really need to remove those old bedside decals. They haven't aged well.

If you find a place that sells some custom ones let me know. I bought some off EBay many moons ago but I bet they are no longer any good. I need some new ones as well.

You have old ones to remove? I'm hesitant to even start the removal process, it's not just going to peel off in one go.

I have old ones, not OEM but old ones. I think a heat gun should do it.

Get a 3M removal wheel for them

Didn't know it existed. Amazon recommended the Wonder Wheel. I bought 2, both arrived tonight. Got the decals off in minutes. Still need to do a little clean up on the residual glue, then polish and wax. Guess I'll have to do the whole truck before the Colorado trip next month. Thanks for the tip!

I bought some basic ones, all black TRD Off-road from Tacovinyl. Not sure when I'll put them on.

Chasing squeaks, this is probably it.

Replaced both driver and passenger UCA bushings yesterday. I think these bushings were about 7 years old. Driver side were still fine, the passenger side looked really bad and I'm pretty confident was the source of my noise. No idea how water got in to cause the rust.

I installed the SpecRide bushings, though I've learned the SPC has redesigned once again some new replacement bushings. Their cost is considerably higher than the SpecRides. Specialty Products Company | SPC Alignment | The Automotive Alignment Leaders

I plan putting in new bushings and delta joints for my icons, they will be replaced soon too, mine are every bit of 7 years plus old as well.

I also added some noise reduction trim to my roof rack. It made a noticeable difference.

Added new bedside decals. Ordered these from Tacovinyl. @Silverback Decent quality: Logo Bed Decals

I don't always wax my truck, but when I do there's a Colorado trip coming up.

Truck wouldn't shift in Ouray. Lucky we were close to a shop, they diagnosed the cable broke off the shifter, got it back on but it's rough shifting to P, R and D. Something else is going on with it. In Creede now for a couple days, hoping we can make it home when it's time.
