    Hey man. So if I give you the specs I’m looking for, can you find me a good deal on a shell for my truck?

    I used tin snips to cut the metal strip at each end under where each hole needed to be drilled and then a razor blade to shave that small section off the bottom of the molding. After that a punch or hole saw goes right through the rubber nice and easy.

    I got fed up with it and just ended up taking scissors to it and twisting the molding to snap the metal wire inside lol. Maybe one day I'll do a clean install

    Yeah I ended up just pulling them off and silicon'ing the holes when I installed mine. Still fully waterproof with on both my trucks. It doesn't bother me at all.

    Things to do:

    -Proper LBJ to Spindle Bolts (@desertjunkie760 do you still have the stock ones by chance?)
    -42" Plano case to move all the recovery crap and my spare axle out of my backseats
    -Replace carrier bearing
    -More 80/20 crossbars

    I make this list here so I remember what to do haha. 25% off for Harbor Freight tomorrow btw, in case anyone needs any tools!

    I can check my box of spare parts. Haven’t really gone through and organized that stuff but those aren’t something I would throw out.

    FYI you can fit a spare axle and tie rod UNDER the back seat. ALONG with a huge pry bar and a bunch of other crap

    I like it! Wind noise is definitely there and when you get crosswind, you can hear it more. Doesn't bother me at all. Can't wait to actually use the storage space on it.
