    Fuel filter. [emoji106] Fine filter screen was good. Truck picked up a bit of power post filter change. I gather flow to the IP was restricted. Original filter looks to have a minor mfg defect vulcanizing the metal screen to the end cap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Switched over to hardtop style windshield brackets. I prefer the better angle for the Xdoors. Moved the Plan B top forward a tad to accommodate the change in fitment. 12338833 5340-01-247-7812 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
