    Just make sure you keep over-spray off your wheels, rotors and paint. That stuff is loaded with chlorine which will dry paint and rust metal. If you have any dings in the clearcoat on your wheels, it will get under there and start chewing on the metal. Great for cleaning tires, but I'm not crazy about the danger to the rest of the vehicle. Use at you own risk.

    Drilled into the roof to add 3/4" NMO mount for highway hamming. Threw a Larson cap on for weather protection

    Also added an led 3rd brake light to match the new tail lights.

    Just because a customer is charged for 3 hours does not mean it took 3 hours. Specific jobs have pre-determined labor quotas.

    A shop I worked for got paid 8 hours to change the radio bezel on a Civic. The job took me 45 minutes including paperwork and pictures while working mobile on the side of the street with cars driving by.

    did you have some visible 'splay'? Did this fix it? Or were you being pro-active?

    Clean bed! Did you have it lined?

    I've had my TC bed stiffeners for a couple years now. I love how heavy duty they feel and all the extra tie off points. I just refinished it the other day since some surface rust was showing.
