    Been looking at this one as a possible option. About how long did it take you to weld it up and get it ground down?

    :eek::goingcrazy: Noooooo 190k! Do not flush it. Just do a fluid change. Flushing it could cause it to fail. Too many miles on it.

    Whole lotta nonsense to wade through to catch up.

    Here’s a picture of my truck in an attempt to get this thread back on track.

    Finally finished my engine bay detail. I see a couple places that need touching up however I think it turned out ok. You would never look at this and think it had 410,000 miles.

    Yeah, you can see it a little better here. It’s as long as a short bed now.

    Looks badass Randy. Love that bumper too. I’ve been thinking of selling my 4xinnovations rhino lined bumper for a high clearance. No need for it but I dig the look. Edit, just noticed we got the same tail gate too.

    Well, some nice mods here! Appreciate this Forum. I did my first post in new members section yesterday, my NW Punisher, lots of pictures and some of my product review stuff here on TW:

    The NW Punisher

    Today I added the Pop & Lock Tailgate lock PL5409, took 30 minutes. Instructions not bad, flipping the driver side pull lever was toughest part. Also the weird hard plastic "gasket" on the top of the OEM handle a little stubborn to get off the catch posts. Careful not to cut yourself, sharp edges everywhere. The key programming was easy, insert your OEM key turn clockwise, easy day. Note the center Philips head screw required tightening to ensure the lift lever would not slip off the engagement latch.

    Here is a finished Picture of Pop & Lock in MGM color:
