    Decided to removed the Decked system and cap for a deep cleaning and to seal up the bed. Put the Decked system back on but I’m going to run without a cap for a couple days then put it back on

    What hasn't been modified?
    It looks better without the topper.

    I’m agree. I’ve never been a fan of toppers myself, but it works for basically living out of the truck in Colorado. I’d rather have a bedrack and tent

    Installed an Ultragage MX. Neat little thing. Ran wiring behind the A pillar down to the OBD scanner.

    Installed a Techdeck today. I figured a 2TPAM would block out the view too much for my liking.

    Forgot to post this earlier, but a couple days ago I relocated my review camera finally. Nice to be able to use that again

    Relocated the intake into the cowl to make room for 35s and filled in the stock intake hole with a drain plug

    Trimmed back my fenders 2.75” today. Lots of work, but totally worth it. Cleared hot for dirty5s :cool:

    About to do this tomorrow actually, as well as the cowl intake. Did you use a jigsaw for the fenders? Look good

    Yeah I used mostly a jigsaw with a fine metal blade but I also used a dremel to get a good scoring line in the metal before I used the jigsaw for a good line to follow. And for cutting the flares, I used a plastic cutting blade on the dremel itself

    This thread has good info

    Cool, yup I saw that one before. Just trying to get a gauge on what people are doing haha. Sounds like jigsaw/Dremel are the way to go, thanks

    Let me know if you have any questions when you're doing it. It's pretty straight forward. Regardless, what camera do you use to shoot with? I've always loved your photos on your build page and been wanting to get a decent camera lately

    Will do! I’m sure I will have some questions. And thanks! Sony a7riii. But I would recommend the a7iii. Much cheaper, and I don’t really need the 42 megapixels with the a7riii

    The fender trimming looks really good. I especially like how you lined it up with the rear bumper. Very nice

    Let me know if you have any questions. I solely use my body and the tamron 28-75 right now. Depends on how much you want to spend

    Thank you! My inspiration was Jimbob’s build all over the internet. He’s running 37s at the moment. Dreams and more money haha. Going to clean up the wheel wells the next couple days to hammer my pinch welds down more and spray all of it with some sealant for ease of mind

    Absolutely. I use to have a cheaper Cannon 750D but I’ve always wanted to get a great quality and reliable camera

    His truck is insane. And yeah man I feel it. The low light capability of the Sony’s is what made me switch. I had a canon 5dmiii before and it’s night and day difference
