Only thing I see wrong with that picture is the equalizer settings. Too low! ;)

ScanGauge looks like it was meant to be there.


Just curious, where were your ants and what'd you do? I got the ants again in mine...damn tree.

But the ant were everywhere.. Can, engine bay, bed.. Literally everywhere, I park with my front bumper in a bush at work and they spent the day climbing in.. I used pro exterminator on the bed and what I could see in the engine bay then put a big bomb in the cab lol

Ah, sounds like your problem was much worse than mine. I guess if it gets bad I'll do the same
I don't like the Velcro so when I get a chance I'm gonna do some fiberglass work on it

Gonna make a little screw-in type holder for it?

Blackout is a little further in progress now.. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1408086481.172503.jpg

Ordered my headlights as well, they should be in next week.
Stereo, speakers, etc are on their way.
And hopefully I'll be able to drop her off to get her ring and pinion done

damn bro love the camo work on the interior. do you have a link for the wrap you used? also how did you get the inserts out and what did you use to get it to stay on the insert? Adhesive spray? One last question. Did you staple the wrap on the console lid or just adhesive on that too?

I used a real tree twill material from the fabric store. To get the panels off I had to break the plastic welds on the inside then when I put it back on I used jb weld to hold the inserts in.. And I used 3M adhesive spray to get everything to stick.. I think it's 3M 90 is the stronger stuff but I used that on the console too, took the lid off and apart then reassembled

This truck has really come a long way in a short period of time. Great work. She looks like a whole new truck already. :waytogo:
