    Any chance you were able to do this yet? Sorry to bother, just anxious to do it.

    The pic is of the shocks, I'm mixing two questions together, my bad.

    Got the last bolt out today. Had my mechanic do it using electric induction gadget. Been around for a while, but I had never heard of it. He also used an industrial grade version of PB Blaster that was soaking for two days.
    You can kinda-see how buggered the torx head is. Going to replace them all with a hex-head or regular bolt head, if I can. Any suggestions for replacement bolts would be much appreciated.:thumbsup: I know the size, --M12 X 1.25.

    IMG_1936.jpg
    And this is why they rust so bad, the bolt sits inside a steel cup that fills with water and rusts! Who woulda thunk it?

    Honestly, I dig what you have already. If you leave it, leave the hood and grill black. but a full vinyl wrap would be sweet too and cover up and scratches (or future scratches). Bushwackers would be nice as long as they don't stick out way too far and make the tires skinny.

    But I personally really like your setup and color as is :hattip::thumbsup:

    Do the 2010's have airbags in the pillar? My 2014 does and it explodes out the top toward the window so I'd avoid using the top handle screw to mount anything if you've got the airbag.

    It might have been for the kit but I never ordered it. When I brought the wrong Ubolts back last night the guy knew exactly what I needed. He put the wrong part number in the system I guess. He just gave my money back.

    New sound under the front end. Mechanic buddy diagnosed it as sway bar link pins. Only 35k on the clock so I am skeptical.

    Installed my bed outlet and replaced a couple screws for my front bumper which were rusted.

    I also got a quote to remove the dent in my passenger fender.
