Thank you!

 

Edit:

Just ordered 2 5M rolls!

 

 

Edit #2

Damn, it's already marked as shipped and I have a tracking number

 

They shipped pretty fast to me. What color?

Not too bad, considering... Elbow grease and mod money.

Did it mess up your mud flap some too? Looks like it's at an odd angle in that pic.

Cool white just like yours. Figured it'd look best.

The mud flap wad fine. No body damage.

Only thing that need to replace is the step plastic piece and the insert.

Got my Bushwackers back from paint yesterday and installed today. I think they come off those fender curves perfect and glad to be rid of the black fender trim and splash guards.

Nice job!. What brand of bed rails did you use. Did it match the stake holes especially the one in the rear? They look nice too.

I added the bed Line-x, weather-tech Windows visor and bugshield, GM mud flaps, Permaplate undercoating package also exterior and interior, 2.25 ready lift leveling kit and amp research power step. I really like the power steps!

Putco Boss Lockers. I used them on another truck and was pleased with them.They come with a black metal plate and inserts to accomodate the enlarged rear stake holes. Looks very smooth and is really strong.

Again- nothing major. Added retractable bull rings with 45 degree angle and lock out feature.

 

Swapped out the ugly (in my opinion) red 2014 4x4 stickers with the black 2013-and before 4x4 stickers.

I just ordered these same bull rings! They should be here tomorrow. I read in a review that they didn't fit with a spray in bedliner. Looks like you didn't have a problem getting them in. Did you have to do anything special?

That's weird. I wonder what would make them not fit? Totally had no problems. Super easy installation. About 6 mins for the 4 I put on. Just make sure you use a ratchet wrench for the final 2 turns... The recommended screw driver method doesn't cut it.

Thanks for the tip man will do.

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
