    Did the beep on lock mod for those of us that have pre-09 without the viper alarm. Pretty quick and cheap.

    The second one I did was my take on magnets for the softopper window. Had some Velcro laying around, threw some magnet strips on the back of it, and finally added clear vinyl on the magnets to prevent scratching the truck.
    Main reason I wanted the Velcro is because I have multiple windows for the softopper. Easier this way.

    I don't blame you. With the craziness of the times it's hard to facilitate or predict times to work on the truck. But nice you finally have it done, that's gotta feel like a major accomplishment

    That is a clean ass window. I can barely see out of mine. Roll it up frequently to do so.

    Completely removing my rear window was my favorite way to run my softopper. Still had decent protection from the elements and prying eyes, but could toss stuff in the back like it was an open bed.

    Nice man! I'm hoping to order the kit by the time my coilovers are ready, I'm ordering custom ADS coilovers so maybe 4-5 months? I've been piecing together the parts at my own pace, got dk machined axles last month and have glass ready to go.

    Sweet! You going with a custom anodized finished on the coilovers? I'll take a bunch of pictures when I do the install, really hoping DK sticks to their 4 week lead time and it doesn't turn into 6+ weeks :fingerscrossed:
