    You're supposed to put updates in the tread too.

    It took me a second to realize that you updated the OP and was about to comment that your last comment doesn't count as an update :D. Was also going to suggest that we change the name of this thread to "BensonXs Bout time for an update thread"

    I always enjoy checking out your progress. Funny how our trucks seems to kind of follow the same patterns....

    Yeah, it's been a little bit! Truck is looking good, man!
    [​IMG]

    After DropBox dumped all my images, my laptop crapped-out and my external hard-drive corrupted - it took some time to find/sort and organize all the pictures and try to remember all the things I've done over the last few years. There are still hundreds of pics that are lost and quite a few older pics that I didn't post (ran out of room). Soon I will add a post with some older pics/adventures.

    Hopefully I can stay more on top of it going forward and post additional pics/progress updates in the thread (and update the OP).

    If you don't draw blood, you're doing it wrong!
    My steering wheel was getting pretty worn and had a hole develop on the top (at 1 O'clock position) that was driving me crazy!
    :annoyed:

    I installed a WheelSkins cover, which is pretty awesome. I love the fit/feel and color combo (Black and Dark Grey with Grey stitching). There were a few of the holes that were not spaced evenly, but that's just my OCD kicking in; purely cosmetic and doesn't affect the fitment. Took me about an hour and a couple beers to install.

    Overall, pretty pleased with it and just happy to have that hole covered up.
