Many thanks to @Gibbs for the hook up on the premium EVIC for the dually. Super easy install and the AlfaOBD made it simple to get the mileage set tight. Love all the cool info screens on the new EVIC!

Terry, you're welcome, sir. I'm glad it went to a good home, and it's great to see you got it installed and programmed successfully. Enjoy! You have a really nice setup with your toyhauler.

Got the leather wheel in today. Plug and play and gained the radio controls. Much better. The old Tradesman not looking very Tradesman any more.

Continuing with the easiest mod/addition yet. The fold flat floor. Thanks much to @BlownGP for the great deal on it in the For Sale section! The center bolt holes are in the floor under a carpet cutout even though the dually has a rear bench instead of the 60/40. Simple matter of a couple of M12-1.75 x40 bolts and 4 washers. 1/8" washers needed under the center mounts because they would normally go on top of the seat mounts that aren't there with the bench. Touched up the bolts and washers with a black paint pen after the install for a factory look. No clue why they don't put this in every trim level right from the start. I still need to grab a couple of snaps for the hold downs to complete the install.

After a 2 month fiasco with CARiD with 1 wheel on backorder I finally actually have 4 wheels. Never again will I ever use them for anything. Anyway, once the 4th wheel arrived I dropped them off at a local polishing shop to get the major league mirror polish done before mounting them. Got them back this afternoon and they look awesome. Off to the tire shop tomorrow to finally see them on the dually.

Those wheels look awesome, do consider ceramic coating those bad boys, it will save you a ton of upkeep down the road, personally I have had great results with Adams products, I get them online...

Offsets seem to be just about perfect. I refuse to have the tires stick outside the body.

Very nice. How is the valve stem access on the rear duals?
