    Oh, you used THEIR weather stripping? The specific one I bought to replace it appears to be out of stock, but this one looks similar enough to probably do the job. I can't help you with clip fitment. I just made it work years back.

    I was looking for a white dual cab. They were out of my price range at the time. Found this at a local used car place for $12,000.
    Short wheel base comes in handy off-road.

    Replaced factory plugs today at 191,000. The gap on the old plugs is .075”. I’d say they were due.

    Denso and NGK. Most likely original plugs.

    I would say so. Bought the truck with 40,000 miles. I totally forgot that I’d never changed the plugs. I haven’t had any trouble, just figured it was probably time.

    Tires, Softopper, fully armored, winch, many pinstripes.
    So what you are saying is I should probably change mine since I haven't since I bought it with 87k on it and I'm now at 170k?

    Thats obvious since they are spot/flood. These will be used for when I offroad my vehicle.

    Sound deadening was done a long time ago but. I thought I would share this now. Had to take the panel off for a raddle and it’s fixed now but thought I would share some photos. Not my best job at all but for the door card I just used whats left of it. Also to mention the floor roof and back wall is done to.

    If you haven't already, I'm paranoid because I've owned auxbeam lights, at least run a light bead of rtv around the glass and enclosure where they meet. They should be using rubber gaskets but often those get mangled on assembly.

    You can also take them apart and inspect the gasket but that's more work
