    Just ordered the 555 inner + outer both sides. Figures yesterday it was on sale for $35 and today $50 if that doesn't sum up my luck.

    Good to hear.. If I got the 5gal I could do the whole undercarriage as well... Decent investment though

    Get some MLV and use what you got. I LOVE my vinyl floor.

    It's nice for keeping clean I guess, but the carpet has more premium feel. Still undecided.

    lol you're not wrong, but the little things like making it quieter in cab and a bit more comfy make long drives a lot better.

    Totally agree. I plan on doing the MLV under my vinyl when the crawl box goes in and then go ham on deadening all around.

    I just finished my DIY bed slide out for my packout tool boxes. The slide out rests on the drawers when fully extended.

    Power steering leak today

    I’m trying the Lucas Power steering stop stuff, to hopefully stop the leak.

    once the leak is stopped, I’m planning on removing the Lucas stuff and replacing it with the correct power steering fluid.

    The Lucas stuff helped me get through a wheeling season. But it's by no means any permanent solution. If you have a leak, what ever is leaking will need to be addressed.
