    Tried out the cerakote trim coat on the doors. Gonna do the rest of the interior plastic and any exterior plastic later this weekend. I should have looked beforehand if the door trim was the same shade as the dash but the pictures say it all.

    Installed 12-15 oem led tail lights, Tinted them myself after getting quoted 200 bucks to do it.... also had some material left over so I did my turn signals on my mirrors. I'll be upgrading to the blacked out sequential ones anyway. It's not perfect but it cost me 25 bucks in materials and I can live with the results. Funny thing is, I think my Diode Dynamcs led brake lights were brighter.

    basically what he said. His post from a few pages back encouraged me to buy them. If you push the mirror around a bit you can see the tabs that hold the painted cap on. Use a trim tool or screwdriver or something to carefully push the tabs in while pulling the cap off from the outside. Only took a few minutes per mirror.

    I got my new Meso map lights and figured I'd install my switch panel to see what I all need to do.

    Drained and filled the radiator’s and engine block’s coolant. Truck is coming up on seven and a half years old so figured it was due. Cost me $40 in fluid and a couple hours of time.

    Not today, but a couple of weeks ago I managed to get out on a group ride with the new toy. The 4 cylinder does alright towing, but there’s no mistaking it’s back there!

    So I installed a bird dawg mirror riser today, which is cool now that its up higher. But I noticed it was some wiggle/play at the top in the up and down motion. I wedged something up in there to keep it from wiggling, but has anyone else had this?

    I don't have one but I think some people use double sided tape between it and the glass.
