    I used to do that to keep my tie downs stretched and dry. They get in the way more often than not. So they are now in a gear bag with my recovery gear. Those bed braces seem like a much better plan!

    I approve of the sticker bomb removal, looks clean

    Damage is already done but next time hold the fitting on the front and tighten from the rear so prevent marring on the front of the bumper.

    I finally finished the 131 page thread. Awesome build and very useful and helpful tips. love the pictures!

    The mods you have are exactly what I want to put on my truck, I have the whole bamf and king suspension in a box, waiting for a welder to tack it up, just order my rinsu cab/camper rack.

    Get a chance to go today? Was with the wife and mother-in-law cleaning out the lake house all day. No me time :pout:

    Appreciate the dedication to read through all the BS :laughing: looking forward to seeing your progress! I love the shackle flip and shock relocation..top 5 mods for sure! Roof racks are up there too..

    They were plug and play. I HATE wiring and the directions made it super simple to get done even for someone like me :rolleyes: definitely louder and worth it. Weird looks sometimes when a high pitched honk comes from a big lifted rig :rofl:

    Yeah I went yesterday to lowes this time, still no luck. Probably just have to cal around or order one online. They did have a T fitting but it had 2 female ends and one male so I would have needed 3 additional fittings with barb ends, that seemed unnecessary and would cost 4x opposed to just buying a t barb fitting
