    True. I wish I did both of mine at the same time. My first was in 2011 and then did the other in 2015. The changes in the procedure improved radically in the four year separation though and the second one went way smoother than the first. Faster recovery. Although I'll admit that I did learn from a couple mistakes on my own part from the first. Stay diligent with the PT.
    Good luck man.

    You know bud I'm not sure it's a rough finish he said, that's kind of why I'm asking around before I pull the trigger. It looks a little shiney so I'm not sure.

    It's definitely interesting. It's a good price for sure, but I'd want them color matched better or a black finish of some sort. Are they the real bushwackers or the Ebay version? If ebay, you can get new ones for another $40 and have them already be black, or a better base for color matching.

    sorry to say but that is not a good look. too glittery for any truck and I can only imagine what it would look like on a sunny day. just my opinion and not to offend anyone. I hope that if you buy them they are what you want and I stand corrected. I know that people say for the money why not...... id rather spend the money on a different look. good luck though for sure.

    Not exactly today but over the last week, swap factory radio for Kenwood including backup cam. Really happy with the look and not too far from a factory look which will hopefully help deter any theft.

    I had my first one done on Jan 5, 2016 and I've got back problems as well. The worst thing for me is not being able to work (put mods) on my truck, because I can't kneel down. I've got shocks and struts from a 3rd gen, add a leaf set, and a IFS skid (on order), and red line hood struts to install.

    Nope, I use torque($5) and a bluetooth OBDII ($12) from Amazon. Gives all the same things, I like torque better personally because it offers more.

    Here on my torque app, I have both transmission temps, battery voltage, and coolant with an exact # cuz I like seeing it.

    I haven't used Torque in 4+ years (with my WRX [RIP]), but when I did, it was a major battery-hog, just by being installed. It had some background process that just sucked battery life, even when the app wasn't "running." Anyone having those issues now?
