Took my truck into the shop today. Rought idle and 14.3 MPG in town and on the freeway. Was it spark plugs or fuel filter issues? No, It was blackberries in the airbox, the air filter was clean but in the airbox the shop found lots of blackberry stems etc. Darn mice I assume. It is embarrassing but I thought you guys and gals would enjoy a good laugh. My best defense is mothballs, they actually keep mice away.
Installed new rain-x advantage silicone wiper blades. I need to drive through a touch less car wash or something to test them. We don’t get a ton of rain here typically,but this year has been an exception, so maybe I’ll get lucky and be able to drive during a shower. 🤷♂️😃
Began interior upgrades. Sound deadend the floor and back of the cab. Ran 2 runs of 0 gauge for audio from the battery to the back. Ditched the cloth on the seats and reskined them with leather. Next up is the console swap as soon as Tasca ships my parts. Then finish the audio upgrade.

And so it begins... adding aftermarket 360 cameras to the grill and mirrors.
Went with a Rostra 250-8455 Multi Camera module and picked up this front emblem with camera from CameraSource.
Need to figure out the parts list for the washer setup. They used a factory camera mount bracket, so the washer tube support is all there.
Do a full build post when you get done. Look forward to seeing it. About to start mine soon, just about have everything I need. My Lithium just came in so now just little stuff.
