    Custom, only one ever designed and built interiors, heavily welded frame, all sharp metal turned bed rack and a roof top I made for $75. Power pedal, injen intake system, cat delete, summit racing brake proportioning valve controlled on the fly, slightly adjusted or perhaps unrecognizable ECM, built in under bed storage, high clearance rear built with 1/4" on a 6011 1/8" rod at 120 amps, 360 degrees of led light, a PA and CB, on board air, on board propane (to cook food), on board fridge made from an old red bull fridge found on some guys man cave built into the storage cubby under the back seat, imported tranny and clutch from a good friend over in Europe to replace this aisin junk we get, combined 32 gallons fuel capacity, 18 5 gallons of water storage, built in gun locker under RTT, and all it cost was to hear the wife ramble on about upset neighbors at 2 in the morning every night since I bought that damn truck..
    Finished the last of the weight loss program... bcuz no one needs all that negativity in their life..

    Rustoleum high temp bbq paint or engine enamel paint would work. I've used the flat black bbq paint on a 2 stroke dirt bike header.

    Those don't look important. lol. What are you doing? My idea of weight loss is drinking smoothies with a buncha green shit in em.
    Are these easier on the eyes? I replaced my bulbs with LEDs and while they are obviously brighter, almost gives me a headache if I'm looking at them the wrong way. I mean, I know the housing are not designed for LEDs, but for just interior bulbs I've never had a problem before.

    I still have about 1” of rake, which is what I wanted. But the good thing is, I can always just adjust the coilovers up front to level it out.

    lol, I've seen people post about doing that but I guess I'm too tall to need that. Hell, my leg already hits the steering wheel every time I use the clutch so that kind of thing would make this truck undrivable for me.

    To answer everyone's questions, life is a teacher, but experience is a tenured professor. I bought the truck not fully understanding what was beneath the paint. I've learned some not so nice things that in fact apply to any and all new vehicles that thru reading the right schematics and manuals, you'll gain an appreciation for the borderline criminal thought that went into making this kind of stuff. It's meant to be fool proof, but they forgot to add me into the equation haha

    lol, now I just have more questions!

    EDIT: but I think I'll find the answers in the couple threads you've been posting to about electrical gremlins and other electrical things

    EDIT2: not as many answers as I had hoped, but the trip back from Joshua Tree sounds sketchy as hell. I'm assuming the removed components are the result of chasing down an electrical short. Instead of Hawkeye Pierce you went Machete?

    I thought I was going to have my sliders received and installed by now. They got into town on tues vie Fedex and every day so far they have been on a truck "out for delivery" then around 8 pm I get an email saying they are delayed. Yesterday they were delayed at 5pm due to "weather". Try to call fedex and the damn automated phone won't even let you talk to a real person.
