Just installed my Gator soft bed cover. Talk about a breeze. 20 minutes from start to finish and it seals really well. I don't see light anywhere. Not bad for the price, but time will tell how it holds up.

At just shy of 5 years old the battery in my truck gave up the fight before even showing any signs of future failure. Moved my truck christmas day and it started perfectly fine. Got in it this morning, stone dead. Charged it for almost 45 minutes, hit the magic button, still dead. So I'm going to do the H8 "upgrade" finally. Kept going back and forth on a second battery with an isolator but I think the single H8 will suffice for the near future.

I just replaced my 5 year old battery and it too went without any warning.

Man I was really looking to getting these fenders when I went to 37's. But the radius from the top of the arch to the bumper is not what I'd hoped for. Wonder if it'd be practical to trim the radius to the red line I sloppily tossed on your pic with MS Paint.

Yea I know I was looking at the same thing when I took the picture . Eventually, when I change the bumper out, the arch will look a little different. It won’t be as noticeable.

Woke up to this crud all over my truck. Some construction zones I go through on the way back from work. Crusted over and hard to remove. Don’t know if it’s paint or what? Pretty pissed.

It may be white road paint. I got yellow road paint all over the side of my 2001 1500 while driving through a construction zone on I-25. No road painting sign anywhere. I was able to remove most of it at a high pressure car wash, but it took a lot of quarters.

Just installed my additional Anti-theft for the crooks using the OBDII Port to get it started.
This one snapped right into place from the back of the factory bracket. Then I hid the œ plug and tucked the pigtail up out of the way.
Whatever you can do to stall them helps.
This was on the jungle site for $12.

Didn't actually do it yet, but got my BD performance manifolds and Rancho suspension components (quick lift 2 inch levelling loaded struts and rs9000xl's for the rear). Still need a new front sway bar which I'll order tomorrow more than likely. Mine has a crack and figured while doing the struts may as well swap the sway bar at the same time. Once I have the sway bar I'll probably get the shocks and struts installed. I currently have pucks on my struts to level out.

I'd speak to the manufacturer. The passenger side wheel opening is clearly cut differently then the driver side.

I think it's optical illusion. He has 2 different size tires in those 2 pics plus the angle of the shot is way different between the 2 pics based on seeing the top of the hood in one pic but not the other.

Maybe, but I'm looking at the curvature of the front bumper opening as it continues onto the fender. The driver side looks fairly uniform across the seem. The passenger side doesn't look like it continues on the same curvature.

Installed Infinity REF-3032 Coaxial speakers in my dash corners, and wired the Pioneer DVC sub-woofer voice coils in series on the amp's 7th channel (the subs that come with your Alpine factory system are dual voice coil subs, wired into channels 7 and 10 - highly recommend if you want better bass, buy a shallow mount 8" sub (Pioneer's sounds great) for direct drop in replacement and add a little fiber fill or batting into the factory subwoofer box - but not too much!). When wiring in series, it brings a DVC 2-ohm impedance sub to 4-ohms on one channel. You can also wire in parallel, which would change the total DVC impedance to 1-ohm. However, I've found better (deeper/heavier) bass by wiring in series, and I'm not sure the amp can handle a 1-ohm impedance, but I do know that it can handle 4-ohms - which is what allmost all aftermarket automotive audio systems are.
