    So got all four doors done with the Noico deadener. Question, at low speeds (driving around town) I can definitely tell a much improved difference in cabin noise. However, has anyone noticed wind noise from the door seals now appear to sound louder? I swear at highway speeds now I notice the wind noise at the door seals now seem louder because everything else is quieter.

    How did you get your center console to stay open with all that stuff in the Grip-it? If I put anything heavier than a pocket knife in mine the console flops shut. I haven't looked to see if there's a way to tighten the hinge.

    Another day spent on truck maintenance before I move back to NM in a couple weeks. Swapped out the spherical bearings, spacer and clips on my rear king shocks.

    getting good use out of this HF press kit! Ujoints two weeks ago. Shocks today.

    Fuck you salty as fuck Upper Midwest! Note the corrosion on the shock body. They look like hell, and that bearing is covered in rust.

    Wisconsin salt does suck. I have to take that into consideration with any mod I do to the exterior of my truck. Can’t have a 4x4 and park it in the winter.:(

    Yeah. It’s been rough. My shocks and coilovers look like hell. Things like the LCAs and rear diff are staring to look rough. I’ve been slowly taking care of all the damage from the winters here.

    That’s a super nice system I bet the sound quality is excellent. I kinda figured I wasn’t going to be able to appreciate what the unit can actually do until I get at least the fronts in. This one is wireless CarPlay but I believe that’s the only difference between the two. The 905 is actually the one I wanted but they where out of stock and I was excited and impatient.

    Looks great! Seems like a great adventuring setup.
    Now I’ve gotta ask, since this is the major hang up I have on the idea of a topper - do you ever feel like your shell gets in the way of fully utilizing your pickup’s bed?

    There are times that it does...mostly around activities that require me to have full use of the bed...Dump runs, wood cutting, hauling dirt, gravel, mulch or other landscaping necessities, certain types of hunting (mostly large game...Elk, Whitetails or Muleys). But I would not trade the advantages of the cap over those things...that is what trailers are made for...or better yet borrowing my sons F150 for the things that would beat up my truck (Don’t tell him I said that though hahaha). I love this set up and I think it fits with my current definition of a truck. One that is dependable, capable, and has enough gear loaded at all times that I could bug out and get away for a week with no advance notice. Speaking as an Elementary School Assistant Principal, it is also set up to where it could serve as a mobile medical facility, providing cover and the space necessary for student care in the event of an emergency scenario. Not sure I could achieve all that without the cap??? Thanks for challenging my thinking though!!!

    Coilovers spherical bearings, spacers, and clips swapped. Man does the new impact make it so much easier. Why didn’t I buy one of these earlier?!?!

    I added speakers to my rear doors on my 2015 AC which meant I had to cut the opening on the door panels and wire them, but in my opinion the sound really filled in the cab and it made a huge difference.
