Caught the last day of the truck month clearance deals and brought home this beauty!  
 

First step is storage.

 

I have been looking at tool boxes, but having a hard time deciding.  There are so many options.

 

Flat black, shiny black, hammered metal look, or aluminum?

 

then, recessed or low profile?

 

I think the silver could pull off any color

 

 Would love to see pics of other members tool boxes.


My favorite so far are the shiny black with the rails on top which I think would be great when needing a place to tie the tarps to.

Check out Highway Products. They have multiple styles, finishes, and colors available. They are a little pricey, but you definitely get what you pay for. They come with a lifetime warranty, are made from 1/8" thick aluminum, have an automotive door style weather seal, and all the hardware (piano hinge, lock set, lock rods, etc.) are all stainless...

 

They custom built my box about 3.5 years ago. I had them build it a little narrower to suit my needs. It is a satin black powder coat finish to somewhat match the the black plastic bed rails covers and factory spray in bed liner. The tool box lid is what they call leopard - lightly shaved diamond plate for a two-toned effect. Its something different that I initially wasn't to sure of, but really liked it once I received the box. They have other finishes like this available too...

 

They even have some pretty cool bed rails for additional tie down points if that is something you need too.

They do include two tie down hooks on the box itself...along with a bottle opener inside the lid to open a frosty cold beverage should the need arise...

Full size toolbox and sometimes wish I had more storage. But it's a tradeoff with the smaller beds on these new trucks. 0c52a235fc2da1b584475def65fb33c0.jpgad14a508371b647e339c255dc901bdae.jpga3b4b54b68f76c78027695b36a589222.jpg

I'm sorry, I just realized the photos didn't attach. I went with the better built side boxes. Only as wide as the wheel well so still leaves plenty of bed space.236102afda90aa75f84219e9b512f223.jpg3e6a56783b811b10d0cbab020551bc23.jpgceffc290bcba921192def488d590fb58.jpg

Before I posted this last weekend I almost bought one at tractor supply.  But wasn’t sure how I would like it.

 

I searched through the forums and saw a toolbox I really liked.  So I messaged and asked the guy what toolbox he had.  Sure enough, it was the exact same tractor supply tool box, so i bought one:

Great looking truck!!
 

From a purely visual preference, I would go with a low profile glossy Black tool box. Spray in bedliner, real wheelhouse liner and tint the front windows. ?

Thanks!  Spray in bed liner and wheel liners are the next two items on my list

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.

      It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.

      They’re not the same wiz as 10-15 years ago.  QC has fallen pretty hard.  The XP line was never good though in the first place.    https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/wix-filter-rusted-through.386492/post-6991372   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/i-ve-used-my-last-wix-filter.27299/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/looking-for-a-better-replacement-for-wix-51258.403977/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/convince-me-in-using-the-purolator-boss.401537/post-7420147   the forums are littered with posts and examples of not great wix filters the last couple years

      I'd guess that it's because they are Mann-Hummel filters since about 2016, they own Wix and are mostly all made in China now.
