Probably the most accomplished feeling I've had in a while. I bolted in an old roof/bike rack from when I had a Mazdaspeed 3. I've held onto this rack system for about 10 years haha. Today's a good day.

Great idea, and looks clean too.

Dig the C-130 & 17 decal :waytogo:

My Fourth Gen (2012 Outdoorsman 5.7L - just hit 75K miles) adventures for the week. New (remanufactured) transmission, passenger side manifold (was cracked), three broken bolts on the driver side manifold (dealer done this, so this was on their dime to fix), new brakes all the way around, new plugs, new seals on the rear axles (noticed when the brakes were changed), oil change and new tires.

I had planed on doing everything, except the manifold and transmission. I've had it for 7 years, and this is the first time anything other than routine maintenance has been needed, so if I get another 7 years out of it I figure it will be money well spent, especially as I have no payment.

Truck drove fine, no signs of any issues. I parked it in the drive on a Saturday, stayed home Sunday, went out to go to work on Monday. Started fine with no issues, then I put it into gear to leave and it wouldn't move. The dealer was the same price as anyone I called, and cheaper then a few, so had them do everything but the front brakes (on back order so I went with NAPA Adaptive One for the front), oil change and tires.

The two local shops wouldn't even touch a transmission, said it is a dying art. They both in fact recommended the dealer. And I trust them two gentleman with anything (both have been there for more than 40 years).

That’s a lot of work.

Knew the brakes, plugs, oil and tires were coming due. Consider these routine anyway. The transmission gave no warning signs, nor did the manifold, so was not expecting either of these. The seals were never a problem with any previous state inspection, but wasn't worth questioning them, as I figure eventually they would need replacing.

Fixed two window switches, fixed the broken seatbelt for the jump seat, and replaced the tow haul/hazard/TC/Electric Plug switch. Now all that is left to fix is the electric driver seat.

Need some for single cabs. My interior accents are white.

I know they had several colors to choose from. Not sure about the single cab option, though. You might check out their seller page and see if they have some.

Here are some pictures of them installed.

Got a fresh wash, since the day I washed it was washed last week, it rained... Hoping this 20% chance this afternoon stays to the west.

Coated the interior and then added a fabric protector to try and cut down on stains. I am going to do the carpets once the 4 hour window has passed with the coating on the hard plastics.
