    Thinking of doing the same. What sheen vinyl do y’all recommend for hood and roof? Satin or semigloss? Maybe satin on the hood and semigloss for the hood?

    I’m going to put those same size tires on mine! Can you tell any difference from the stock 70’s?

    For the reverse lights I used a set of Auxbeam T15 LEDs:

    & for the license plate lights, I used a set of cheap LEDs from Amazon. Also came with all the interior lights. LED quality is okay. I'm just waiting for the MesoCustom dome and map lights to restock so I can install those instead in the interior:

    You will never want any other lights once you get the meso dome and maps. Just use plenty of SPF50 for the first week.

    Ride is very slightly more harsh. Only driven about 100 miles but it looks to be about a 1.5-2 mpg hit. That was expected and I have no complaints at all.

    Too much.
    Are these made just keep shit from falling between the seats? Because that's awesome.

    3M Matte 1080-M22 Matte Deep Black. I wanted it to match the B-Pillars

    Found this on another thread. Looks like it’s for the center support for the tonneau cover.

    Thanks for the info. Looks like I don’t need to worry about them then. Don’t plan on putting a oem cover on.. ever.

    Just think it’s weird they just spin. Oh well.

    Hahahaha:rofl:

    I don't mind the cheap LEDs I've got in now, I just don't trust them to last that long. Really holding out for a restock on Meso though for a permanent solution!

    I’ve never tried removing them. Might try just to see what happens. I always thought they were for a camera mount until i read that. Learn something new everyday.

    I hope in a rollover that’s all I have to worry about is getting hit with a glock slide or flashlight.

    I thought those holes were threaded? I actually planned on putting the screws in there to cover the open holes

    I wonder if I remove the rail completely It will give me access to those screws from underneath the rail? Anyone know?

    It’s been awhile since I looked at it but I thought the front rail was square tubing with the flange to screw onto the bed
