Nothing local to me... I usually do pretty well, but not with a bedcover. Bought one off FB marketplace the other day, And the guy sold me one for a 15-18 F150 - was out of town, and my truck was at home.

$300, and it’s going on eBay today, lol.

It will get some restoration before I put it on, new paint and screws. Rubber is all good. I have never seen one that cheap though. I did get lucky on this one.

It's rarely clean. But when it is, I become a photographer all of a sudden!

Love the beauty of a clean black truck...

Enough to admire others, not buy my own, lol.

Yeah, about that black paint, a pain to keep looking good!

Restoration in progress on the $100 BAKFlip!

 

[MarshRam]

Sweet, BAKFlip is on. Much better than the soft trifold.

Y’all kill me with all these cheap bedcovers you come across! Looks good!

Thanks man. I see these going for $300 to $400 used and I probably would have paid that, regardless of a little paint restoration that was needed. I totally lucked out for a single Benjamin.

Got a dude coming to pickup my soft cover for a hundred bucks, which is what I paid for that used last summer. I'm $15 deep on paint and a few hours of my time on the BAKFlip! No complaints here!

Put my "Headlights For Dummies" back on while I build something with my old lights. Took awhile, but after multiple attempts I finally figured it out.

Thanks for the instructions, but you forgot to tell me which is the right side of my truck vs. the left side, not very helpful. Depends on where your standing, ya know!

Nice......

 

[MarshRam]

Geesh, finally got that small task done. Now to get the front done. I think Nick sent me the oil like 6 months ago, lol.

The Royal Purple that was in there didn't look bad after 15k miles and I had absolutely no shavings, but glad to have it switched out.

 

[MarshRam]

Time to get these ****** useless bulbs out of my temporary headlights since I'm undecided on wtf I'm gonna do with my headlight build. My led blinkers are brighter than this junk.

These zxe bulbs with a whopping 125 hours of life better be good for 60 bucks. If I don't see some "HID Attitude", I'm gonna be pissed!!

 

[DRkNESS]

Well you know I’m subscribed to see the outcome lol.

Well, extremely quick outcome. Put the passenger side in, didn't look any brighter than the driver side that I hadn't replaced. Went to take a picture to show there was no difference and then POP.

Bulb blew out and also fogged up the lense in my headlight in the process. I'm gonna have to break these damn lights open to clean the projector and lense. Not sure if any of that smoke that was coming out is going to give me cancer in ten years. Now I'm pissed off!!

 

[DRkNESS]

Oh crap.

Wow. Make a fella think twice about some bulbs!

Oh well. Got my money back and will live with the poor light output for now. Glad this happened on my cheap lights, not gonna bother breaking them open to clean the dust off the lense.

My ****** bumper problems are finally coming to an end. Time to start ridding of the plastidip and color matching it all. Looks like I'll be swapping to dual exhaust as well. Score for $150!!!
