    Looks good! Now to upsize those tires.

    I do think those are some of the best OEM wheels out there.

    I was debating a simple plate of aluminum or steel to drop it down. Use security torx bolts and greatly reduce who can remove it.

    You could always use rivet nuts on the bed and mount the box using knobs inside the ammo box so it could be removed if necessary.
    Ace hardware usually has a large selection of threaded knobs in various configurations and sizes.
    Just be sure to use a rubber washer inside the box over the threaded stud to keep it water tight. Rubber washers available in various sizes at Ace as well.

    I like the wheels as well. I’m not in a hurry to get rid of them. Saving for 265s. Don’t really want anything larger. Frankly, I’ve looked a all-terrain 245s as well.

    Yeah, that’s what OR and sports should’ve come with.

    Makes sense. Just do the research if you plan to avoid a cmc.

    I wanted to protect my steering wheel. Already have some thread-sealer stains on my seat. Got an Aully leather steering wheel cover on Amazon. Turned it inside-out so instead of smooth, shiny leather its suede. Great grip and feels great. Made a big difference.

    Played LSU in my Knock-out league so I'm happy I didn't play TCU. LSU beat the spread which was 24.

    Got my Switch-Pro and Power Trays set up in, going to be a fun little project this week getting everything set up. Will be installing it next weekend when I come off call.

    When @MESO opens the custom panel orders back up, will be swapping out the sdhq panel out for his. But this will have to do in the meantime.

    Super stoked !! :bananadance:

    The kit has a 2 lengths of cord and 2 needles. Only used one each. Used a piece of string to measure the circumference. Got the L+ size. The stain, I know, but that's PTFE.

    Thank you Sir :hattip:

    I may end up adding a breaker , but want to see how much room I have left once everything is mounted up.

    Would work with Off Roads, Sports, all models. But I like the rivet nuts that are set with a rivet nut tool over the other type. Available on Amazon. Can't tell you how many times I've used that thing. Anytime you can't get behind a screw or bolt that tool will pay for itself 10X over. Lots of thread sizes available both in SAE and Metric!
