Ran the wire for my remote start antenna and installed the A-pillar trim on the driver side.
Ordered an antenna nut socket set:

(I couldn't find my set)

It should be here tomorrow and then I can install the new antenna and the passenger A-pillar trim.

I might start on sound deadening the back wall after that.

 

very nice!

 

looks great! (you should've gotten that tray thing on the left side, too)

 

Hey I'll reiterate the quality. My sliders are bombproof! Had several people comment on the way they are designed being VERY sturdy.

 

Just picked up Deaver stage 2s and @ARCHIVE hammer hangers

 

Before!


After!


And a bed mat I should have did this years ago what a difference

 

Swapped out some bolts to make carrying lumber in a short bed easier. More details here.

 

The show your taco in scenic places thread, in the 2nd gen section, is pretty mild. 3rd gens posts photos in there all the time, but no one says shit. I find it amusing they don't catch which section they are in, but keep it to myself.

 

I found four bed cleats in one of the bed cubbies today. Who knew!

 

Front doors got the Noico Black and Noico Red treatment. Installed the Kicker KS 6x9 component set. Ran new speaker wires into the doors since they'll be running off a Kicker Key.

 

Exterior detail today

 

Diggin the grill! My bedmat should be arriving tomorrow. Stoked.

 

Can I not just install new speakers without having to get new wiring? I want to swap the it my subwoofer but everybody is saying my JBL amp won't work

 

New UCAs, Bilsteins and 3rd gen trd coilovers installed today. Rides on a cloud now compared to the previous setup. Extremely happy with how everything worked out. @Dirt King Fab

 

Got my dana 60 in just need to rub my lines for lockers and shorten the driveline and change it from a flange to yoke

 

Got the @AL Offroad Products roof rack installed. Diggin' it so far. I chose the AL because I liked the side panel design, I liked the mounting system (curved brackets that go straight to the roof instead of spacers), and the group buy made the price very competitive.

Installation was pretty straightforward but a little different than what I've seen from other racks. First the brackets bolt in (loosely) first and then you attach the cross bars, then the side panels. Took a bit of wiggling everything back and forth to get it centered and square. The hardware supplied was a little different than what they use in the installation how-to video, but not difficult to figure out.

Thinking about adding some grab handles and scene lights next. The front fairing is positioned all the way down and includes a rubber seal that blocks 99 percent of the wind noise. Honestly I can't even tell it's up there. Only bummer so far is that even with the fairing all the way down it sits a tiny bit above the level of the crossbars, so when I have my canoe on there it will rest on the fairing and not the crossbars and probably scrape the crap out of it. The fairing with the light cutout would likely eliminate this but I'll figure something out.

Anyway, pics:

 

those sliders look sick, can’t wait to get mine.

 

Great info. Quick question, is the logo on the fairing permanent or removable?

 

Think I had my truck almost 2 years before I found mine.
