    It’s all vacuum/vent hose so not a big shocker. Everything for evap needs to be fuel rated.

    FYI fuel vapor compatible and fuel immersion compatible are not necessarily the same thing, just something to pay attention to

    Really depends on the maker. Many hoses are multi compatible now.

    Im in the middle of doing a pair of rear bedsides. I got the base coat down surprisingly good, but the clear coat not so much with just 2 coats. Ill need to do a light sanding before applying another coat or two.. ill be doing new Front Fenders maybe this weekend if I can find the time to go down to Fiberworks to pick them up.

    DIY target stands makes great fender stands

    I shoot my fenders about every 3-4 years depending on how they're doing. I just use Dupli-color match paint from Amazon and a simple process of prep-prime-paint-clear. They look good from 15'. Pic is from this year and it's been 4 years since I've painted the fenders.
    I also have a thin piece of abs in the front area of the rear fender for rock chipping. Same piece has been on there for about 6 years.

    I have seen the carbon on Broncos, a few of our trail couples friends that have their CF, its rather amazing And yes the kits are crazy expensive but the fit and finish is really mind blowing.

    Fender flaps....looks goofy but saves that, that is another reason why I may steer clear from CF, fiberglass bedsides , fender floppy and raptor liner color matches so the rock/sand are no biggie.

    If you’re talking like this, they do not a whole lot lol. Tried just about everything in the book. Just happy I can redo things as needed for cost of material and some time.

    Consider doing color matched raptor liner segments?

    It’s an off-road truck. Honestly just going to deal with it and repair as needed. Mainly just posted to show why I would never ball out with carbon.

    Favorite limit straps and why?

    Liking the features on the TMR straps, but I'm sure there are others out there that have that little bit of extra too.

    I now see why you guys don't work on your trucks when it's hot af outside. My new shop is has no AC and it's a little over 100° out. I was so close to calling it quits haha
    I use dirtking cuz I bought other shit from them and might as well buy some limit straps
