    I'm short, and the prop rod is a PITA for me.

    I went for it on the tailgate strut cuz my foreman has a '12 Tundra and he's always breaking my rocks about how his tailgate is nice and smooth on his "man's truck"

    Took it to the dealer for the 5000 mile maintenance. Had them turn off the seat belt chime because I was sick of hearing it when I put my son in the carseat. The service dept told me that they would not change the oil untill 10,000 miles. On the way home, i bought the oil and filter and did it myself. Mobil M-102 filter and 0w-20 synthetic oil.

    Those scratches aren't that bad....there is just lots of sand and dust in them....wash wax, and probably clean a lot of them up...

    I'm not so sure. This green shows EVERYTHING. I spent 4 hours buffing mine back in November trying to get some tree branch scratches out.

    I guess he has never actually seen a real "man's truck". On a real "man's truck", the tailgate is beat to shit, slams down hard and loud, has to be opened with a claw hammer because the handle is broken, and has to be pounded to shut entirely.:D

    Lol, yeah I know. I will hopefully be building a full set soon, based off the BudBuilt and Relentless designs.

    Wife and I made a carpeted floor liner for the spoiled doggies. Installed new Pro Comp Prorunners in the rear to replace leaky Bilsteins that have 78k.

    But it all washed away. The leaves deposit moisture that collects dust.

    Would you mind posting how these work out for you after they've been installed? I've been wanting to add reverse lights but don't want to spend a ton of money. I can't see much at night due to camper shell tinted glass.



    Also ordered a 4 inch LED flood light to wire into my reverse lights. Will mount it on trailer hitch bar.
