    @Snowtrail I literally brought the rail into Home Depot with me, I bought 2 maybe 4 inch bolts, 4 washers and 2 wing nuts. One washer on the bolt head, the washer keeps the bolts inside the bed rail and I used another washer and a wing nut to secure the boards to the bolt, very easy.

    No need. Just the masking off the Steering wheel would be enough. Over-spray beyond that area would dry before sticking to anything and would wipe right off. Trick is to spray short strokes in thin layers. Excess would peel right off just like on the outside emblems.

    Thank you! I'm guessing plasti dip doesn't have airborne drift because its heavier than paint?

    That is why I put a tonneau cover on my truck. So I would no have to clean the bird bombs and whatever blows in my bed out every time I needed to haul something.

    I had the same issue, broke a few of the chrome tabs, can't decide if I should try to sell my SR5 grill. Probably never use it again.

    yep. $2 via ebay china. it's real glass not plastic though. passenger side didn't help since it's already a wide angle so i pointed it downward to see the rear fender when backing up.

    Did you have any trouble getting the positive battery cable to reach? I have the same battery and cage and I fought with mine for a while and I'm still not happy with how it fits. Especially with the sharp edges of the battery cage near the cables.

    I used to be a Project Manager for a company in Newport News VA and we made parts for our next door neighbor Liebherr . They manufactured mining trucks and had a test track behind our shop where they drove these trucks. Those were monsterous trucks. You could stand inside a wheel.
