    It was a rhetorical question. But, I have a 12 yo daughter. They know everything. Want to be 21. Complain about everything. Rude. Entitled. Judgmental. etc.

    I would say it's my daughter but all her friends and enemy's act the same.

    That's a great color blue! Will look good when you finish it up. A BHLM would look awesome and really pull it all together since they wheels are now black.

    Took some goof-off to clean up around the debadged areas during my lunch break.

    Yeah, I would like to do the BHLM and tint the rear taillights, with LEDs all around of course. One thing at a time.

    Nice! I've been looking at some L-Track tie downs for some time. How difficult was it to thread the nuts on from under the truck?

    I installed a dedicated voltmeter in the back of my truck shell so I can easily monitor my aux battery.

    It was annoying but now that it's done it's gravy.

    I skipped one row of screws that happened to come down on a support rib, the left side was more of a bitch due to the gas tank and took 2x as long as the right side. I have short arms and big meaty claws for hands and had to have a guy with thinner arms get one of the nuts/washers on near the gas tank.

    They're the Core Trax 1000 rails. I like that they are pretty much flush with the ridges in the bed and won't inhibit sliding things in and out.

    I plan on getting an aluminum plate that I mount motorcycle wheel chocks to and then will attach the plate to the rails when I need to and remove it when I'm done.

    I commend you on that. I bitched and moaned until I found a good place to put the 2 smaller L-Track rails that I have in my bed. I had a hell of a time just getting my slim jim arms up under there, and that is after I dropped the spare, I gave up on putting it where I originally wanted it due to the gas tank. How you did it is almost something of myth to me. Looks great!

    Instead of tinting the taillights, I would look on Amazon at the LED smoked/blacked out Depo taillights. I had my stock ones tinted but the sun faded them out within a year. Replaced them with the LED Depo lights, and I love them. Below is a picture of what they look like.

    Good job! I've routed some power cables and coax under the truck and the F'ing gas tank was in my way too! :D

    Awesome sauce! I like it resting on the wheel well like that, and F- paying a ton of $$ for mounts. I mounted my Hi-Lift last week for $2.50. with some pipe u-bolts from home cheapo. ;)

    It's been a great week for the truck. Let's see Saturday I got my sliders welded on. Thanks iceman. Yesterday I painted all my welds, tore off the plasti dip off my front valence and painted with flat black. Today so far I have washed the truck and repainted my grill. On the todo list are plasti dip my wheels.

    :laugh: You're right! :D 1/4 drive ratchet and 1/2" deep socket in center console organizer. About 60 seconds to remove 4 nuts. So far, it works for me! :thumbsup:

    Why not use wingnuts so you don't have to have a tool to take the Hi-Lift off? I understand security, but a thief will be able to steal that with hex nuts or wing nuts, regardless.

    Edit - I just saw your post right above. I guess if it works for you :thumbsup:
