    I just popped the ball joint off the spindle, taped off the boot and ball joint and used a big piece of cardboard to catch any overspray!

    Honeycomb composite sleeper platform.
    3rd Brake light option looks great!

    I started searching for one that does white and red. So far it has only been yellow and white.

    I accidentally put power steering fluid into the brake fluid reservoir. After a brief moment of freaking out I sucked it all out half a dozen times, refilling it with brake fluid to make the ps fluid float to the top each time.

    Finally all came out watery, so I'm hoping no real damage done.

    That connector is fine, no signs of being burnt or corrosion.

    Nicely done! I did the front doors, front floorboard, and rear cab wall when I put some audio in my truck. All done about the same as you. I need to go ahead and do the rear doors and the ceiling.

    Just the bit I did made a huge difference in cabin noise.

    I fixed it, loose connections on the back of the speakers. PSA make sure you test the speakers before putting everything back together when applying sound deadening!

    This would be nice somehow for an RTT setup. Lower it for the drive out to camp and raise it when you arrive. Adjustable so you don’t have to fight the truck and leveling techniques.
