    Damn, my grunts need something to shoot at! In regards to the sliders, yeah, und upon closer inspection, they do look like running boards. That's what happens when I reply to things when I look at them on my phone:eek:

    Anyone ever unscrew the OEM bed tie downs? I tried unscrewing the two closest to the cab but they will not budge and are wanting to strip with every attempt at getting the screws to break loose!

    Just curious, anybody know someone on TW who has stuffed lights behind their 98-00 grille? I don't recall coming past one. I guess there isn't enough room behind :notsure:

    Yes, just make sure you're using the correct size Phillips head screw driver. The big fatty. #3 i think? Lean in to it and they'll come free. If you're using a 'standard' size screw driver, you're screwed.

    As said before, just put a lot of weight into it and use the right bit. Also, if you happen to get them off, I'll buy them from you if you're trying to get rid of them :D

    Cleaned out the cab a bit of all my junk in preparation for a three hour drive with four other passengers for a hike we are doing.

    I also gave it a car wash and did the new-sticker-mod.
