    Yeah it's long gone. I keep meaning to buy one. But I always see the other one barely hanging on so I'm starting to think its a lost cause to replace it.

    It's probably because that big clip behind it was taken out improperly at one point which ends up affecting its usefulness.

    After my differential breather mod was done I also got my splash screen changed from the boring blue Alpine screen to this (sorry for the crappy cell pic but you get the idea):

    Can anyone with a bed bar post pictures of how it mounts to there bed?
    Not a roll bar I'm talking about a bar across the bed sometimes referred to as a chase truck light bar (something like that) Ill be mounting my trail jack on it if that matters. I only come up with roll bars when searching?
    Thanks

    The best thing IMO is a 3M Stripe Removal Wheel, they run for about $30 but they take 5 seconds and clean it up perfectly.

    If not that ^^^ then goo gone and a whole lot of elbow grease

    For future reference, you can paint the badges right on the truck with plasti dip.
