    Try seller "dangoodbuy" on ebay. My source for plugs, bumpers, caps, ect., over 3500 items. If he doesn't have what you need he may know of someplace to source it. Good luck ! :thumbsup:

    Cup holder trim ring? Not yet
    Shift boot collar? Same story

    I had good luck dechroming and painting my cup holder trim. Shift boot collar came out terrible though

    One magnet rated for 45 lbs. so I’m sure two will work just fine

    With a caliper, the sleeve measures 1.53" x 2.64", so the closest cap I can find is this one. :notsure: It's Amazon, so I can always send it back if it doesn't fit. @ClassyTacos I'll send you the extra two caps if they do fit. :thumbsup:

    I pretended it wasn’t snow, but the aluminum shavings.... this made it much more palatable to my mind.

    Do you have first hand experience with these? Do they feel pretty solid when installed? I know you are thinking, how could a hood strut not feel solid, but I have seen some pretty flimsy mounting brackets at my day job, so just figured I would ask. Are these the same ones on Amazon that you linked to on eBay? It appears so, but figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask.

    Many of us have RedLine hood struts. Easy install and excellent performance along with excellent customer service.
    Thought you might want to have another option available to you.

    Fabricated two backstop brackets from Hillman P/N 853857 corner braces. They'll prevent the Extang Encore tonneau rails from sliding rearward when off-roading.

    Discovered on the trail that the "QUhang" Chineseium breaker consistently trips at well under its rated current, rendering my compressor unusable. Replaced it with an Eaton P/N BP/CB185-100 breaker, and fabricated a bracket out of a Simpson P/N A88 angle tie.

    Hope you got the problem resolved. Got mine from the dealership and all the hardware and brackets were included. They should take care of this for you.

    The ones on eBay are overpriced. Get them from Amazon. Mounting is solid they use existing holes so no drilling needed. Love mine.

    How good was your deal and is the promotion over? Seems like I read where it ended on the 30th or 31st but may be wrong. Also that some were trying to get a match for Hooke or DV8 rack.

    the 4x4 was the most annoying. Love MESO and appreciative of the mods but it was annoying maybe a 8/10

    Use the old one for practice and then buy a new one; they're cheap. Friends' house just burnt down, killing their mother/mother-in-law. Started just outside the kitchen. Mother/mother-in-law saw it and was able to call it in before she got knocked out by the smoke. Remember to aim at the base of the fire when you use the extinguisher.
