    Finally got around to installing CoverKing Neoprene seat covers, took the seats out to clean and make the install easier.

    I have also had that one and it’s amazing. This one is Lorenzo the beer cat and it’s marginally better than “all cats”

    Even though most of my stuff is new products, I've bought everything on some type of discount or sale, minus the front bumper and winch.

    Time your purchases for only sales and you can probably keep a good pace buying parts you want.

    Funny how it says install takes a couple hours. I'd say 20 minutes at the most.

    Home-built roof rack for spotting platform and/or kayaks & bikes & stuff. Home built bed drawers Firestone Ride-Rite airbags on the rear for level camp trailer towing
    Those Firestones air bags are great. I installed them on my DCLB for towing a 17' Jayco Hummingbird which puts about 400# on the hitch. With toys in the bed of the truck it meant some serious sag. I run 'em at 35psi and it's so much better.

    I'm betting you'll like them too...

    I hear ya. That’s what I try to do too but I hesitate and miss stuff too often. That being said I already have a small pile of stuff stacking up I just need time to do some installing. New front coil springs, ditch lights, bed lights and on and on

    Took everything apart to start the wire wheel to por15 process. Almost 200k miles and I'm positive I took off the original shocks. Rear shock got the cut off wheel treatment. Same with the upper control arm bolts.

    Bery heavy duty for mounting a rifle and gear, only downside is going out to buy extended bolts but has a nice black coating and fits in like a glove.

    Found a great deal on FB marketplace for a snugtop camper shell with carpeting and a fold down interior window. Been looking for a super white for ages

    You should get the drop bracket kit anyway, but it should not rub. What coil overs did you install? Have pic? If it's rubbing, the bottom seat on the strut is either too wide OR too low. I'd find the issue, not just work around it.

    Bought a tube of Super Lube and a grease gun today so I can lube my TC upper arm bushings on Saturday (after I correctly clock the zerks).
    Getting my interior parts organized right now and extending the wires on my aux switches for the install on Saturday. Hopefully I can get my interior mostly back together.

    One part was on back order, it came in but damaged. The dealership returned it and I found out today that they never ordered the replacement part. I'll found out tomorrow when that might arrive.
