    Yeah
    I like to make it really hard on myself so I didn’t remove anything, just worked through the holes lol.

    It sounds awesome, butt dyno isn’t reading any different but that wasn’t the goal, I do a lot of water crossings but think actual snorkels for these trucks look horrible so this was my other option.

    I plan to order one soon. I don’t see me using the cleats very often. They seem more for hunting purposes.
    What have you used them for

    Fortunately, I'm out now. I'm a bit too tall to stuff my boots in the bag comfortably. I just dealt with cold boots. They warmed up pretty quick after I put them on.

    Wow thanks for the info. I have a manufacturing background and I understand that a part that gets chucked into a CNC can get burrs or scratches but those should be polished out in another process even if it doesn’t affect the parts function it is still a matter of pride in workmanship. A bunch of weld slag on the inside of a bumper really won’t stop it from functioning but it looks bad.
    I will look at other offerings or just spend the money on another project.

    I've used Amsoil products for years. They make some great stuff, including an awesome metal protectant that I've used on my '04.

    Installed the USR smoked mirror turn signals (I'm not wiring up the white running light connection though) and their LED license plate lights. Little by little the truck is looking better and better. Smoked lenses look great on Midnight Black. Pretty sure there are already enough photos of both mods, so I'll refrain from adding to the mountain.

    Usually its not too much of a issue, with how dry it gets here the ice usually evaporates pretty quick. I did open my tailgate right when I got home though, as that part freezes solid and I have to put a heater in the topper to thaw it out.

    In Ontario, this is an issue because we get freezing rain sometimes and lately a lot of thaw and freeze type weather accompanied by more rain.

    While it would look awesome, you'd have to do a 6lug conversion on the trailer I think.

    I had a shop install the bumper and winch; they must have installed the bracket the other way around. I'll look at it tomorrow to see if I can flip it.Thanks.

    I put the mud guards back on and somehow I’m not rubbing at all. No rubbing in full lock around turns going forward or in reverse.
