I assume based on your photos that you plasti dipped the bowtie? I just want to make sure you didn't wrap it because man I'm having trouble on the inside corners of the bowtie with wrapping..

First paint correction and seal on the AT4 now that winter is over. This blue looks even better after a clay/polish/seal.

Yeah I tried to wrap in some carbon fiber wrap but it was difficult on the edges so Plastic dip was the way to go. If I could take the chrome part off easily then I might wrap but for now, it’s good. ca6098b11ee129703afe83ef57a1705a.jpg

I know the majority here is about tonneau covers and not toolboxes, but I digress. 

 

This better built box had OEM inside and outside leds powered by 8 AA batteries. I installed a led strip on the lid and powered the OEM switch with a Curt breakaway battery. I wired in a 12v SAE lead to recharge the battery. The SAE lead can over hang over the edge of the toolbox and lid can close allowing a battery maintainer to charge the 12v battery...I have 5 of the maintainers that float around to keep equipment charged over winter.

I'm not a tool box hater.  It's whatever suits your likes and needs.   Looks good!

Hauled some lumber today.  I was tempted to do this with the tailgate up but no idea what it’s rated for.  Anybody know?

I'm not sure what the tail gate it rated for when upright, but I know it's not rated for 5 pieces of ply plus 22 pieces of 2"x6"x12' or whatever, lol.

 

Glad to see a truck get used like a truck though, :thumbs:

Iirc, down it's rated for 500 lbs. Not sure about up. I can't recall where I got that number, so take it for what it's worth.

Update all the none LED bulbs to LED (Reverse lights, license plate lights and turn signals) from LasFit. I posted more photos on my thread.

Crossed the 10,000 mile mark yesterday. The lowest mpg I've gotten in a tank was 24.5 and that was mainly in town driving.

 

I've only had the truck since 10/21/2020.

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
