    Installed my Rhino Rack Ditch mounted adjustable rack today. Used a combination of 3 factory threaded holes with button screws and 4 drilled holes with rivets (per side) to attach the rails. Plan on creating an install thread soon.

    Dirty-ass, ugly doors got an overhaul today.
    1. Recovered the armrests with black vinyl
    2. Painted the switch panels black
    3. Installed foam rings around speakers to help project sound better
    4. Made new tweeter brackets to recess them a bit so my grills no longer stick out
    5. Tinted windows

    Before

    After

    I got a small piece of lint stuck in the passenger side window tint but other than that everything turned out great.

    It is, no doubt. Cheaper than a newer/new truck for a refreshed look though!

    You will regret the vinyl, I did! I went back to cloth after one summer. :bananadead:
    Did not notice a difference in the look of the tweeter grills.

    They're up on streaming services now, so Spotify, Pandora, and most others. I'm loving having them come up on my Pandora shuffles now. And I can listen to their albums on road trips. I'm very happy now.

    17" Method Grid Titanium rims w/ Pro Comp Sport A/T 265/70/17 tires, Mobtown Offroad ribbed Tailgate skin, installed LED lights in painted rear bumper black, faux TRD grill, color match grill surround. LEDs in map, license plate, center console, and dome lights. Anytime driving lite mod, debadged, vent visors, AA Maglite mounted under center console armrest. Antitheft hose clamp on tailgate, LED bed lighting kit. LED spot lights in lower front bumper. Weathertech floor mats. Painted various interior parts black, homemade 7 pin relocation bracket, Valet under door LEDS, CMC, SPC UCA, Bilstein 5100, OME 885, Headstrong AAL. Pop&Lock.
    Spent the last couple of days grinding/drilling/hammer chiseling off the stock LCA cam tabs and beginning the installation of the Marlin Crawler LCA cam reinforcement and the Total Chaos cam tab gussets. I took the Lower Control Arms completely off for this (I'm sure I didn't have to). One cam adjuster is rusted/stuck in the bushing so I had to cut it off and I'll press in a new bushing tomorrow and continue welding up the two new cam strengthening kits to my truck this week.

    I'm getting a TON of porosity and so I'll spend time grinding all that out and cleaning everything and adjusting my gas pressure too. I think the gas was set too high.

    I removed my mud flaps today, I have been wanting to do that for a while, looks much better.

    I also gave it a good clean job.
