    I use a K& L ratcheting type filter wrench, I think I got it from Amazon. If you're gonna DIY your oil changes ya may want to look into getting a Fumoto valve. I have one, did an oil change this weekend, I think it makes it easier.

    You do spy.

    However, the stuff is very rough. I'm not sure how much I like it, as its shorts season now, and I keep scraping the back of my calves when I get out.

    Here's what I used:
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006HVKM4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_FRxWAbQVDNBFX
    As an afterthought, I'd probably go with a 1" width, so it's not so much on the sides.

    Not sure how easy it'll be to get this stuff off without having to fix the paint afterwards, so I may just see how it does after time.

    Replaced the u-joints and center support bearing. Used a Ford Ranger center bearing, similar to what @anthony250f did a few weeks ago.

    Off topic but do you switch back and forth between your rack and tonneau cover?

    It's an Extang Solid Fold 2.0, and it really only works under my rack the way I want because I'm using a shortbed rack on my longbed.

    No one has anything that will work with them so you can mount a bed rack as well like @Twizted has....
