I am. Watched enough videos online and experimented with it to have a rough idea of what's required and the various wrapping techniques and tricks (inlay/overlays, knifeless tape, importance of cold stretching vs overheating, etc.). Most learning is hands-on anyway so ill figure wverything else out as I go. Main thing is time and patience. No way I'm paying $3-4k to have a shop do it. Lol

Did some much needed maintenance this weekend.

-New CVs and diff seals: Cardone non-hd. Kept OEMs as they weren't clicking yet and will reboot the OEMs in my free time. Did a lot of hand-wringing on this (reboot now, CVJ, cheap aftermarket). Price and convenience won out at $48/side and 2 day shipping. I did coat them since I'd read a lot about rust (as all cheap parts do), assuming their boots last long enough to rust. Lol



- Hubs and knuckle seals: Marionbumper2bumper. Great quality and pricing if you have the time to wait. Mine took around 4 weeks.



-Cleaned MAF and Throttle Body: Never thoroughly cleaned the TB and it was obvious. 208k miles left a lot of residue. Engine response seemed to smooth out noticeably once it was actually clean.

-Chose wrap color: Avery Dark Gloss Grey. I tried Vvivid but wasnt impressed with extra TLC and heat gunessaving it took to go on smooth compared to the Avery. Avery seems much more forgiving.

-Started back on my S2K retrofit. I had tabled this back in spring '17 and am just now picking it back up. Lol...yea

Been a while....still lurk here but dont post much anymore. I've completed a few more mods since my last update:

- Installed a voltage booster from Ebay given how little/short my drives are now for better charging
-Installed seat warmers
-Mustang LED Fogs
-Touched up Big-3
-S2K Retro/DENSO OEM Ballasts finished back in 2019
-CarPC completed and finishing 9.7" screen in-dash mount/HVAC relocate (WIP style for now)
-Swapped out cigarette lighter for permanent fast-charge dual USB
-Added footwell lighting
-Ordered Clazzio leather covers in dark brown
-Swapped out audio install (speakers/amps)
-Wrap is tabled indefinitely...just don't have the time to mess with it.

All minor/creature-comfort mods as my truck has seen ZERO offroad time over the last few years and I haven't swapped out the suspension/tire setup in a while. I'd really like a set of the -38mm Ray 10s but not pumped about spending that much on wheels right now.

Still LOVE the truck as I roll towards 230k with no end in sight (fingers crossed).

As it sits now...

Ha! I still use mine offroad, but I totally hear ya about not posting much here. Logged in for the first time in what seems like forever.

Your ride looks great!

Thanks bud! I guess I shouldn't say at all as I'll still use it to access some areas and farmland but not to really offroad as much. Took a peek at your build...looking good too. Nice shots as well.

Clazzios came in and installed them today. I was tired of my blacked put interior so wanted some "pop." Went on very easy once you figure out the right slack/push/pull routine for the fronts. Have a few wrinkles I'll straighten out too but waiting a few weeks to see if they stretch more.

Overall, a perfect fit (as expected) except for the rear bench seat back not having all the child safety latch holes. It seems to be missing one unless theres another trick to install. Dad problems! Very happy with them.

Can you post some more pictures in the light when you get a chance? Are these saddle brown/cognac?

Sure. I'll get some outside tomorrow. These are called Dark Brown...kind of a light chocolate color in certain light. Not a true dark brown IMO but in a good way. I was torn between their brown offerings, and even initially wanted the tundra-style 1794/orange-ish color, but I'm happy with my choice.

Nice build!

Are those the perforated leather?

Appreciate it. And yes, its the leather insert with PVC outer. They feel great from the few times I've driven it and seat heaters still work quick as well (slightly longer to warm).

Looking to add seat warmers to my runner, which ones did you go with and why?

The seat covers look incredible!

Thanks! They look exactly how I wanted...factory. While they already fit snug, I intend to go through and pull out any slack in a few weeks once they've had a chance to stretch and loosen up a bit (if at all). There's also a small spot on the drivers seat that isn't perfect like the passenger side but that's because it was my first seat and I didn't tuck a section where I should have. I highly recommend removing the seats along with the front seat trim piece...MUCH easier than trying to do it in the truck.

As for the seat warmers, they're a generic carbon heating element style set off Aliexpress. 2 pads per seat for upper and lower. I think they were only $35 shipped but most are the same. The more expensive sets have more elaborate buttons that fit factory openings but they are all similar IMO. I got mine because I liked the round buttons (see pics above) to mount in the console. They have 5 heat settings (and actually doesnt just feel like 2) and gets hot very quick.

Those look great with the blacked out interior!

Do you have a link to more info on the PC install? Is this just a tablet or something more? Looks legit.
