Glad to hear the new tranny is working out good.

Finally have my correct, green AC tint with no shade-band glass, installed. I used Euroglass in Redmond and recommend them to anyone local.

I did an oil change today and went ahead and connected my AUX battery, as my truck has the TP2 option but I never actually wired it in.

Not much left to do... I plan to add trailer wiring as the next step so I can tow with it. I also need to pull the steering wheel off and fix the signal cancelling (probably a broken spring) and get an AC leak found and fixed, but that's life!

Just figured I should update the build thread with a picture showing the stock wheels and caps that I now have on it. Nothing else major new! I replaced my remanufactured compressor with a new aluminum A6 that I painted black to try to disguise... it looks reasonably stock. But it doesn't leak, or throw oil all over, which is a big bonus.

Man do I love the simplicity and quality of this truck, that blue always has me drooling everytime I come look in on the the ole build tread.
