    Pop-n-lock came in, as well as a @KBVoodoo high rise crossbar, and some OEM bed rail cleat thingamajigs. Stupid tonneau cover rail has to come off to put the damn things in. Luckily I'll be taking it off to install the KB Voodoo brackets

    I got it from 4x innovations. They aren’t making this style anymore so they discounted the last few they had......only reason why I got it honestly. The hitch was included for free with the bumper.

    Oh there will be some mods all right
    Hey I'm from Northern Wisconsin too, and I can definitely confirm that the salt is out.:boom:I'm trying to combat it with Fluid Film, we'll see how well it worked in spring. I feel it's a matter of when, not if you hit a deer in Wisconsin. That's why I'm considering an ARB bumper.

    Not far from you....very familiar with your winter weather conditions. I use fluid film every year. I spray everything but the exhaust. Works fantastic, I have a 14 and the underside still looks brand new. :thumbsup:

    Had a great day today. My wife is out of town so I took the day off to hang out with the kidos. Took my son up and did some 4-wheeling and then taught him how to shoot a bb gun. It's amazing what these trucks are capable of. After that we went to the dealership and picked up some Denso spark plugs. Replaced all six of them tonight. Driver's side is a bit of a buggar but not too bad. Took about 45 minutes for all six of them. Also cleaned up the battery terminals tonight. IMG_2787.jpg IMG_2791.jpg

    Replaced my old serpentine belt, was actually in better shape than I thought, but I didn't know when the PO last changed it or what brand it was, couldn't find a brand name on the old belt, i did find multiple seams in the carcass though so I'm betting a cheapo. The back was looking dry and feathering on the edges a bit so she got a new Gates MicroV belt. Much mo betta, plus now I have a trail spare. :D

    Quite possibly the easiest belt change I've ever done.

    Will do, I have been looking for pictures of the angeled bezel on a 2nd gen. I will most likely have the install performed by some one with experience. I have Piaa LP530 and could follow that wiring as a guide. Id like to get a fuse panel with breakers, I don't know much about that either.

    Just make sure you give your frame/undercarriage a good pressure washing BEFORE you apply the Fluid Film ... don't want to trap any residual salt against your truck with the Fluid Film.
