Next on my list was mudflap delete.
They were actually pretty flimsy and I was able to cut through them with a good pair of scissors.
It did leave an unexpected gap between the plastic and what was basically just a pocket for water to get into and rust the body so after cutting the flaps off but before screwing the remaining plastic back down I put a bead of clear caulk around the edge.
Figure if it doesn't work out it won't be that big of a pain to remove.
Will have to see once it is cured in the morning.
They were over 4.5 X 12 inches so I'm sure removing them will help but I know the difference will be too small to notice.
I have satellite radio so I figured removing the FM antenna would be a no brainer.
Once again another mod that I won't notice the difference but over time all the small things will add up.
Blasted thing was long.
I just need to take a wire brush to the base to knock the rust off and grease it up and hopefully I can find a rubber cap at the store to heat shrink onto the base.
I also need to change my oil tomorrow, you can just see my jug of
Mobil 1 0W-30 Advanced Fuel Economy in the background.
