Glad your Ok I saw these pictures and thought about lucky I am from yesterday morning not to be posting pics of my old girl all tore up from my 360 and guardrail moment. Deer be damned they are getting mowed down cause my route is along the Columbia. Just glad to hear your all right and have...

I went nuts with Black out So as for my blacking out of the shiny bits this week, my choice was 80 grit automotive sandpaper, blue tape and masking roller, drop cloths and 9 cans of Rustoleum Bedliner. So far I'm very happy with the results. I had previously put this material on the nose and...

I picked up some insulation and have some digital camo fabric I picked up on clearance at Wally world to wrap it. Looks like I may go button snaps screwed into panels and crimped to fabric like I do on my leather projects or Velcro so they could get fastened to headliner when not in use. Should...

Finally Bedlinered, hood strip, all chrome pieces and I mean all. Finished drilling and tapping roof rail cross bars and mounts. And the list continues since 5k miles of driving start next weeks. Really want to get some foil insulation to wrap and make window covers for cargo area windows but...

Thanks Antman, I thought you might have a good solution photo file out there. As for my plans, lots of black Bedliner have been applied, the rear chrome is the last remaining shiny bit. Black ProComp wheels went on yesterday and I am almost done with the custom cross rails I welded up to hold...

So a search of the inter web yielded no results and me being me I didn't find a post in the forum. I want to finish blacking out the runner and need to remove the interior rear panel on the tailgate. Anyone done this? How much of a pain in the arse is it and what tools do I need. Thanks

HID vs Halogen vs LED Yes I never leave the lights alone in my vehicles, I live in the Columbia Gorge and it is just freaking dark and full of 4 legged critters that like to cross the interstate at the times when I am going and coming home from work 6 months of the year. First, I have HIDs in...

Now I have to get a set of these, CBI makes great stuff, had a rear bumper installed a couple months ago (due to hit and run). this will go well with the new front they are developing. ~Bear

i need a new bumper so one of these is in my near future. Hit and run claimed the drivers rear corner today in the park n ride lot... sons a b's... but at least I have insurance and I bet the boys at the shop would buy me one of yours.

Thanks for the write up. I am getting ready to do a bunch of PD in the next week

Still have them? Will be in PDX this Saturday.

Heavy duty slides Well I finally got around to building a drawer for my rig. I needed a place for my Spey gear when its not full of my side job tools. This is the first iteration since as its already been said, "not a straight piece of wood in the store". I do however have some of the stoutest...

It sounds like a ground loop to me. DC can get ya since you are only using one negative pole and multiple paths to ground, and if you add the second wire and the ground plane caused by the rack mounting bolts (highly resistive path to ground), shazam the magic happens and you get all the lights...

It sold me I am glad your VSC saved your bacon, I played with it with the first snow and ice here in the gorge to test the limits. It does get you pointed in the right direction quickly which I am grateful for. Passing the garbage truck on a country road this morning it got me back to my lane...
