    Appreciate it! I just ran out there and quickly looked underneath it and it all looked ok. Hopefully the appraiser says the same thing.

    And yeah, definitely going to go for as much of the diminished value as I can!

    Installed my EGR side window visors....was hoping they stopped more of the wind turbulence than they do but still like them:

    Added a new flashlight to my flashlight holder behind the seat I just found out was there:

    And added a led stick on light under console hood so I can see how to open my console vault at night without having to turn the overhead light on:

    Love it....I keep all the numbers but one of the four on the combo so I just have to change one of the digits to open it. My S&W Shield and my Taurus PT111 G2 both fit in there perfectly.

    I'm blown away how she managed to do that. You are definitely due for two new doors, rock guard (coating on lower door panels), and a new tube step. I believe you have to replace the tube steps in pairs, and if so, tell them you want to apply the retail pricing towards sliders. They'll probably take a while to get in, tell the body shop when they come in you want them installed, since they would be installing the new tube anyway. Depending on who you go with, you should be able to get sliders without coming out of pocket. Bolt on are more expensive though. I'm not well versed on diminished value, but I'd guess somewhere around 1-2k, plus repairs.

    How much was it? I found some for $275 but that seems kinda pricey.... That's the main reason I want it. For my .45 XDS

    I lifted the back of the truck another inch and installed wheel spacers and then washed and detailed the inside, outside and under the hood. IMAG0771.jpg IMAG0770.jpg IMAG0769.jpg

    I have one too! They work great. Though you lose a bit of storage space. Can only put a compact pistol in them.

    This might seem like a stupid question but when washing/detailing the hood do I need to worry about water getting to the battery or alternator? Any advice?

    I leave the truck running and avoid directly spraying the alternator and any other electronic part. After that I just take an air hose and blow everything as dry as I can and then wipe all the plastic stuff down.

    Thank you! I think I'm gonna get it :)Also how do you like the skid plate? I've been thinking about a relentless fabrication one because it's low profile like yours... But gotta say yours looks better!

    Nice trailer. I have the same brand. What are your plans for it? I made a camper out of mine.

    My wife and I run a cigar company. It's going to be a furniture hauler for our mobile/event lounge.
