    When you say it like that it sounds pretty bad. Ha. It's bolted on to the truck. But the arm on the A pillar I just used industrial marine Velcro. It held up for a few years no problem.

    I don't want to drill into the A pillar for whatever reason.

    Well the velcro is certainly better than an old wad of gum. Haha
    I certainly don't blame you for not wanting to drill into the a pillar. I always wondered what other options people came up with for attaching it at that point.

    Those wheels are fuckin’ beautiful! I hope the Atturo’s treat you well. I’ve read of balancing issues with them

    Yeah man! Airbags and water intrusion are not on my list of things to do. The glue finally died out in the coastal heat and I could hear it thwap around on I-95. It's especially noticable since installing all the Noico!
    Hopefully this will work for a few more years.

    New stock mudflaps for my 2010. Ones that came on it had been cut short by previous owner.

    finally got rid of my front end passenger side creaking noise, on a suggestion from a different thread sprayed Silicone spray directly between the coil spring rubber isolator and the frame coil mount and have zero creaking, a miracle after years of trying to trace it down

    Thanks, I have the same exact tires on the truck now but in 20" size. I love them. I'm downsizing to the 17" so I can air down and tackle some decent obstacles

    It took me 45 minutes to empty my cab of my tools. That's what I did to my beloved workhouse today. This thing is filthy. It needs a bath badly. It's so freakin hot here... holy....

    Just finished putting the Ranch Hand on the front of my 2014 TRD Sport. The most off-road that I do are forest service roads to access the backcountry for hunting and fishing, so I like the way it turned out.

    Got the Noco Boost GB40 in today. Hopefully won’t have to use it but trying to get together a solid recovery and VEDC kit.

    Got some OEM smoked headlights in yesterday. Just waiting for the bulbs to come in to do the install and replace the shitty spyder knockoffs the guy had in before me.

    Professional mechanics use NOCO to jump-start dead cars to bring in for diagnosis and repair because it holds charge and works every time
    good choice

    might be a little cheezy but you could rattle can paint the trucks OEM color on the cap to match it up
