    No, it’s more of a custom kinda color, the wheels Are ultra beadlocks so I had them powdercoated a transparent color so the factory machine finish shined through FB4E9777-0D2A-4023-A335-8AE85BC21E55.jpgBE8F5E5E-FCC2-4313-9468-2E9A46482081.jpg1A37B5BD-2B71-4565-9D96-4FAA29F600B3.jpg

    Got that same DieHard gold battery just recently myself. My 08 original battery lasted me forever too! I had a Diehard Platinum one before this gold one and I guess it was an AGM b/c it didn't have those caps on the top that hold water? kinda made my battery tie down holder from @Coupe look a little askew on the new battery and I dont like that handle on it covering up my TRD beautiful tie down! ... I almost went back and changed out for the Platinum but the store I got it from didn't have any in stock when I checked online. plus this one was already installed

    I love it! I bought it being fully aware that I was paying half the price so I wasn't expecting an extreme LED bar but its really nice! super bring and I really like that it comes with a switch that allows you to toggle between amber, white and both! I haven't had any issues at all with mine, no condensation or anything...plan is to just open it up and seal it If that starts happening...id say you can't beat if for the price!

    Finished everything for the winch. My wife helped me get the line in and wound in under tension.

    I know the beds are composite but raptor liner sure is going to help this 2nd gen bed look a lot better.

    Mostly stock with a few minor mods.
    Do you think that Raptor Liner would hold up on some rims? I have an extra set I want to clean up and spray black.

    They have a spray etch primer and I would definitely use that on rims. If you are ok with not ever restoring them to original condition I would give it a go. I used a plastic adhesive promoter and so far it looks great.
    I sprayed the inside of my tailgate with no prep just washed it. Curious to see how it holds up on the painted surface.

    Crossing fingers for you on that one.
    If you do the USB ports, it's not hard, but you will probably have to enlarge the hole from the original 12v socket.
    The USB unit I got was quite a big larger in diameter than the hole was, not much, but enough to cause some cussing if you are not ready for it...
    And, not having a large enough step drill on hand, it was the dremel to the rescue!

    IIRC in the end it was really only 4-5 parts of the dash that need to come off to get to that bottom center panel.
    Lower part under the steering wheel, the heater/AC controls, the radio, and the 2 center vent covers (which come off in one piece)

    I took off more than I needed too. :)

    That sounds like a great hack and something I would like to do!!
    I will start searching for these other posts.
    Any clues? nevermind, found several!
