What did you do to your AT4 today?

I applied diesel cologne today, but changing my fuel filter. The filter looked pretty good for changing at 10k miles. This is the 2nd filter change.
I've been doing mine every other oil change (~10k miles). Probably overkill, but I figure it's a small price to pay. Usually mine are a little dirtier than new, but nothing terrible. And yeah, I can't do anything under a vehicle without bathing in it either 🤣

Installed the VLeds reverse license plate light bar and billet LP frame. Easy, clean setup and quality built product. Works as it should providing massive lighting when vehicle is placed into reverse.

Installed the Boost Auto amber DRL/parking light harnesses. Simple install, and happy with the results. (Excuse the photos, the sun was in the worst possible position and I was trying to shield the glare from the hood.)

I’ll update later with some low-light pictures.

This project did come with an added, unexpected bonus. The harness comes with two exposed wires, which allow you to select between having constant amber, or amber in the day which changes to white at night when the headlights are activated.

Screenshot from the install video:

In order to activate the day/night function, you plug the two wires together. Based on the information in their video, it appears that the blue wire is feeding power to the white wire. This may mean that the blue wire is headlight activated. I know that in some other threads, a few of us were searching for a power source which was headlight activated, and were having difficulties finding that in the cab. It appears that if you have this harness, you could draw power from the blue wire to power any accessory that you might want. It might be a bit of a run pulling wire from the headlight harness into the cab, but it’s an option.

I may get out and play around with this tomorrow to see if I can power my cupholder lighting from this, which I always wanted to be headlight activated. Just a thought for those of you who were looking for that capability.

Boost Auto install video if you want more detail on the wiring: (Pertinent part starts at about 1:48)

Installed today. Just what I wanted. Doesn’t look like to much but definitely fits the vehicle better. Of course it looks better in person but always good to share pics for people thinking about doing spacers. 1.5 bora spacers. 275/70-18 ridge grapplers (close to full tread), factory rims, ready lift 2.0 sst level kit, no rub.

Well, more of “what have I done the last several days”? Rock hounding in southern Utah and making a mess. So many trails to go get lost on and that’s not a bad thing. OnX was so helpful.
Going to need lots of TLC when we get back.

At the midpoint of our travels a fresh wash and a “painful” fill up. Pump stopped at $100 as that is what AMEX caps out at per transaction. Had to do a second fill of another $22. $6/gallon in AZ

Sounds like a really fun time! What did that scratching on both sides(if it's actually scratches, are they deep)? Narrower trails than you've shared in those pics?

We found some very tight places that looked like mainly for side by sides. The ceramic coating minimized the “damage”. Took it to the car wash and they aren’t too bad. An afternoon of truck therapy and they will buff out. Desert scrub is pretty soft and doesn’t do much damage. The dust makes it look much worse.

I LOVE the look, my AT4 is Thunderstorm as well. I love the way this looks. Short of the UCA and shocks, did you lift it any and is there any rub?
