    I don't know if this is actually considered a build. I'm just trying to make this truck more functional for my needs and desires.


    Here's what I've done to it since I brought it home from the dealer on 7/30/19 listed in no particular order.

    OEM bed mat
    Prinsu Design Studio rack
    Pop & Lock tailgate lock
    Bakflip MX4 Tonneau cover
    BFG KO2
    Granite Alloy wheels
    Mobtown tailgate reinforcement plate and locking cubby doors
    Weathertech floor liners and window deflectors
    13" antenna
    Dome, map, vanity, and reverse LED bulbs
    AJT climate control knobs
    Hondo Garage basic radio knobs
    Salex center console and glove box organizers
    Uni Filter
    Fab Fours rear bumper

    SOS sliders (need paint and install)
    Wet Okole front seat covers (on order)

    Thinking of maybe an OME 2" lift in the future, but it's not a major priority.

    It sure has been a lot of fun upgrading my truck and making it work for me.

    Just installed my OME lift a few weeks ago and I love it. Can't beat it for the price. Super easy install. I bought it from @HeadStrong Off-Road and couldn't be happier

    SOS Concepts slider prep and painting is underway. I used scotch brite and a brass wire wheel followed up by acetone wipe down. First coat of primer applied. I can already see I'm going to need more primer and bed liner.

    Yeah I recall mine (which weren’t bolt on so didn’t have that huge plate) took about two cans of bed liner each. I found that por15 worked better than rattlecan primer. Maybe I didn’t do a good enough job prepping.

    Finished the install of the SOS Concepts bolt-on rock sliders today. Saturday was prep and primer. Sunday was truck bed liner application. Today was bolt them on. Install only took about an hour doing it alone. Floor jack and two jack stands made it easy. The very front bolt was challenging to tighten since it's hidden in the box section of frame. Milwaukee impact wrench helps big time.
