    I raptor lined my older camper shell that @ruffridha9 now has (unless he sold it)

    Do you still have it @ruffridha9

    I sprayed it on in Sept of '18 and 2 years later when I sold it didn't have any noticeable fade,

    Decided I didn't like the hook that came with the winch.

    The Harbor Frieght thimble is pretty damn nice. The connecting pin is A LOT thicker than the pin on the hook that came with the winch.

    I can't remember. Did we do something with my truck?

    Oh ya! We adjusted the rear brakes... which has actually made a huge difference.

    See, that's why I need to update this damn thread more often lol.

    Trying something different.

    New Durobumps on the back. Modified (shortened) Wheelers Superbumps, with a full base made of 3/16 stainless under them in front.
