Thanks! Any estimate on how much tube ends up going down?

Maybe like a little less than 2 feet. There’s kind of a trick to it. If you go too far the tube will start to loop. I usually go down until it kind of stops. From there I’ll let it suction for a while. Takes a few minutes to get most of the oil out. Then I’ll keep suction while I pull the tube out and it magically find more oil.

Yesterday my friend and I installed the RCI rock sliders. It took about 3 and a half hours. The instructions were good but a little more detail would have been better. On some steps they specifically said what hardware needed to be installed and others it was vague. I was also missing (4) M6 bolts to reinstall the fuel control module. It said they should have been included but they were not.

Install was pretty straight forward. The passenger side was the easiest since there is no brake lines or harness in the way. I opted not to install the treat plates for now. I like the current look. They do not work very well as side steps haha. I might add some grip tape on them to help since they're slippery when wet. Overall I am happy with them. Time to put them to use.

Just swapped out my OEM spark plugs today for some NGK LTR7BHX gapped to .026". Winfield from GooseTune suggested I do this since my mileage and the new tune. The plugs aren't hard to do. The most annoying part was the grey harness clip on the passenger rear plug. That did not want to come off.

These OEM spark plugs had 16,153 miles on them.

Passenger Side. Left to right is rear, middle, front.

Driver side. Left to right is rear, middle, front.
