    What I used in the gap under the tailgate was Amazon hook and loop and it’s held in really strong. I can also temporarily remove it if I need to access the spare

    Dropped my wheels off at the powder coater today. I had the intention of getting them done in a bronze color. They just wheeled these pictured wheels out of the oven and I pointed to them saying I want that one! I'm undecided if I want to have my faux bead lock rings done in black or just leave them off entirely like I've been doing.

    New style pass door switch from cartrimhome came in. Auto up/dn with the lighted lock/unlock. Driver/pass door completed. May just order a second set to have on hand. They’re A2E2A3C0-7B4D-416A-9109-ED4D1235F024.jpg 91FB65BA-2008-4B40-AD5A-87D1C8D4CC90.jpg C31E331A-A094-4043-97DB-9BBD46AB6069.jpg AE87E4B6-0422-4632-A08A-B0908A7A3983.jpg cheaper than the OE switch by a lot.

    I agree. Didn’t realize I needed these and now I can’t figure why they don’t come this way. :notsure::notsure::notsure:

    Ordered some Wheelers front bump stops. Looks like an easy installation.

    ^^^ what he said!! Soak them bolts for a day or 2 with PB blaster. I broke my passenger right way with like half a turn and took me 2 hours, new hardened step bits and a 90* driver adapter to get the bastard out and I still had to use a nut on the top of it because I had to drill out the threads. Drivers soaked for 2 days and came out like butter.

    This is the one thing I absolutely hate about my truck are those stupid metal spring clips. Why they did not lock that thing in place we'll probably never know, but damn they're a PITA. After many trials and errors, I've got it down pretty good now. I changed my bulbs out not too long ago on the first attempt.

    oh every time I see a paint matched grill, I think man I should either Black mine out to match the ARB bumper or paint it white to match the rest of the truck. But then if I do that I need to swap the chrome rear bumper out. at that point a do a bed chop and then its going to be a place where I'm just going to go all out and just going to get less daily and weekend toy to all out off-roader.
