    looks good! out of curiosity how much did the suspension lift cost you, and did you do it yourself?

    The lift was $1,900.00 and they installed it for $500.00. I was going to install it myself with my dad, but he's traveling most of this month, so we wouldn't have gotten to it for some time, so was the right way to go.

    I live a couple blocks from Camburg, so that's nice too.

    Got all the extensions tacked onto the mounting plates and plated the end caps of the inner tube.

    Nothing too exciting, just ordered a bed mat and some Yakima tracks for my camper top. Bed mat was an OEM one, $95 shipped on Amazon.

    Got a call from the paint shop that is color matching my ARE top. Said it was ready today... Drive down to pick it up and while we were looking at it in the shop, I notice some gouges in the paint by the rear hatch! Looks like they tried putting the hatch back on while the paint was still wet and bumped it. Guy apologized for not seeing it and wasting my time... Hopefully they'll take that into consideration when it it time to pay!!!

    Installed @Up2NoGood's heated mirror kit a couple months ago and FINALLY got to push the button for real this morning. Can't believe I was so excited to watch the condensation burn off, but that's what you get when you buy a winter product in the summer :rolleyes:. Excellent product.

    Forgot to mention, Matt at customcargrills has really good communication skills,
    fast shipping, and kicked me down a cool led flashlight!
    Now I hope I can do a decent job of the install!
