    I tried to wash my truck the other day, was only one car wash open and it was an automated standalone at Shell. Truck felt happy afterwards at least

    Did you do this? I have the same older style arms and I'm sure this is bound to happen to mine. Do you have a link for more info about that program?

    Used it to haul 22 12ft composite deck boards home. I'm real happy I opted for that Voodoo tailgate cap now, I think the OEM would have bent under the weight and cause a crease.

    I work from home and my taco sits in the driveway most of the time. I added a 100 watt solar panel to the topper to keep the Northstar battery topped up and for extra power when we go camping. I bought the solar panel on Aliexpress for $70 and Victron MPPT on Amazon.

    Man that’s clean! Did you use a steam cleaner on it? I have a really hard time getting my carpets clean. Those look like new.

    Today I made some brackets to attach to my highlift to use it as a winch. Also made some T-handles that I can lock to make it easier to take on and off. I just had a nut and washer before. So I had to dig out the tools every time I needed it.B4463E04-6B80-4142-A00C-4DFADEDA4CD9.jpg1AEA67B6-201C-4D41-AEB8-E638DEAC07F8.jpg 9C00F20C-0EEF-4303-B767-6E542284BD15.jpgPlease ignore the messy welds

    Received my 1” thicc recovery points for the rear bumper I’m building. Mannnn they’re beefy and way over kill.






    And used one of those 3M eraser wheels for the first time to remove the mobtown decal. Will get a new, slightly shrunken one once the bed is done.

    Relieved to see you are using an electric drill and not a pneumatic drill. Those erasers will fly apart at too high rpms. ( ask me how I know :( )

    I put it on the lower speed setting and even then only pulled the trigger maybe half way. I didn’t want to burn through the paint. With a little patience it worked great.
