Everything I did today was for carrying the truck camper so I guess it counts. 1. installed my Torklift tie downs; 2. installed my Torklift StableLoads; installed my Torklift SuperHitch; 4. installed my Centramatic wheel balancers

Got my first 2 mods out of the way on the new to us TC. First I added a rear view camera so I can keep an eye on the tailgaters. I already have cameras on the TT and my enclosed trailer so I just had to mound and run the wires. I chose to go with an adhesive wiring cover
instead of attempting to fish it through the interior, the DW was glad to hear that lol. I still need to add 2 small pieces on both ends to neaten it up.
When we were at the dealer where we got our new to us TC the DW noticed these
On the new Lance trailers. She liked them so I was tasked to install them on the rear. First I removed the old rear gutter remains
And added the new gutter ends
Other than a slight modification to the right side gutter
Both fit perfectly

Not to the TC per say but I have been having some steering wheel play and the only thing in the front end that was still original was the steering box. So at 130,000 miles we ordered a new one and had it installed. I got it from these guys http://www.redheadsteeringgears.com/re-manufacturing Looking at the cramped space where it is located I am so glad I opted not to DYI. The shop mgr said he could hear the mechanic cursing my truck during the removal and install. Haven't driven it with the TC
on yet but unloaded it was night and day, so much better
Buzzcut, I did the exact same on my F350. I've been super impressed with the Red head steering gear. One other thing. Look at your front ball joins. I replaced those at the same time as the steering gear and the improvement was just unbelievable. Cheers
Way ahead of you, Already did the upper and lower ball joints, new steering stabilzer and new tie rods & bushing, and sway bars. This was just the last piece.
