    I think I'll have to wait until I do the entire truck. I did the doors last year.

    True neat to see how it changes. I wish I had done it before. I’ve done top/bottom/ rear and doors. Still need to add a layer of 150 to the doors though. I will prob toss some 300 over the 150 in some places on the roof since I have extra and there seems to be room.

    You learn something new every day lol thank you sir. Although in my case it was simply the replacement of the tie rods.

    That's odd. The only thing I felt felt with a worn tie rod was "loose" steering.
    Now you made me want to check mine. I have a very slight pull when braking. The R/F caliper is new, the pull is slightly to the right.
    A brake pull will pull to the opposite side of the bad caliper. So either my left caliper is bad or I also have a bad tie rod.

    I think you misunderstood. It wasn't pulling it was simply somewhat of a loose feeling. So I replaced them. My toe was off after replacing them. And it rode fine but when I hit the brake hard one time it pulled to the right. I was driving like this for a day or two until my alignment appointment. Once aligned it was fine.

    My mistake. I thought you said it pulled when braking and that's the only issue you felt.

    Yeah it only pulled after I replaced the tie rod's not prior to. I tried to get them as close as possible but I guess I was still off a bit. Amazing what a small amount of change can do to driving characteristics.

    Got the backup camera installed. A lot more time fishing wires, a lot less time fishing than planned.

    There ya go man!! These are super hard to get, and not on the website anymore. They do extremely limited runs, so act fast if you want one. They may not produce these again.

    Went wheeling with @Dex__43 today since he's back out here visiting. Last time I saw his truck it was still a prerunner, and now after the 4x4 conversion and all other sort of mods, it is impressive.

    :annoyed: fucked up my driveline and now I got a bad vibe
