    Installed a mesh grill so now I can utilize all the power of my 9" lights.

    The lights are installed straight and centered properly, I was just to lazy to back my truck up to get a good pic lol

    The thought has been crossing my mind as well. Don't really want to part ways with the pro, but the manual tranny isn't really appealing to me anymore.

    Not a very strenuous day: I added the rear seat pull straps. It took longer to find the #3 Philips than to attach them. OEM, $16 for two straps and two screws. I also washed this week's snowstorm road crud off of it.

    Do you have your Fumoto or ValvoMax installed already? I need to drop my engine plate in 3500 miles for the next oil change to install the Fumoto. After that plate only drops for differential service.

    I have had really good luck with the Bosch Icon wipers. Have had them on several vehicles with zero complaints. Hope they work just as good for you.

    We've had Bosch Icon wipers on all of our vehicles for years now as well. We get a lot of rain, some snow and the "beam" style is terrific, stays on the glass even when we're headed into double-digit winds. Über simple to replace as well (makes them worth it for just that). New ones every fall whether they need to or not (and they usually don't).

    For those with bed stiffeners.... A while back I added the 2nd gen header rail and eventually these ruggedwerks corner brackets for more tie down points to the front of the bed

    upload_2023-4-30_8-37-28.jpgupload_2023-4-30_8-37-53.jpg

    My question. Do bed stiffeners serve any purpose for day to day driving on road with no load? Do they just screw into that thin piece of sheet metal? I'm wondering if I would have a use for them, or if I'm not really putting my truck through the paces of actually getting any benefits from the purchase besides a couple more tie down points...

    Without a heavy top load pushing down & out on the bed sidewalls - there prolly isn't a true need for stiffeners. But they don't take anything away from the truck and can only add support and extra anchor points; so if you have them = keep them.

    I do use all four corner ones for tie-downs -and also- for lock/security points for those items that might walk away if not locked.
    (Maxtraxs, shovel, highlift, axe, jerry cans, etc.)


    Ignore the bare cable, I was experimenting. It has been removed since the photo was snapped.
