Gave it a good bath after a trip to Table Rock, near Morganton, NC.

How well does the sound deadening work for you?

Well it did make a significant difference in the level of sound/wind noise at freeway speeds. It also changed the level of force needed to shut the doors as the foam pads do block the vents to some degree. Not enough to feel the pressure when inside and closing the doors, but enough that if not enough force is used the door will not shut completely and have to open and close it with more force.

A side note however on using the foam mat. On the passenger side at the bottom probably needs to be notched around the scissor jack mount, and best to leave a 2" gap above it as well. With it all the way to the bottom like I did it creates a challenge to get the jack pushed back far enough for the retainer screw to line up with the hole in the bracket.

Truxedo tonneau arrived today. Still have to figure out where all the foam blocks go. No issues with the factory bedliner.

Finally got new rubber !...265/70/17 SL rated so they're not too heavy ( 4x2 sport suspension).
TOYO Open Country AT3. A little noisy, but low radio or AC covers it. Smooth riding, no changes in Fuel economy with easy driving. Speedo is 2 mph off (actual is greater than indicated ) at all speeds up to 60 ...3 mph of at 65 and 70... and gets worse the faster i go... will probably figure out forscan or get the hypertech to adjust so the odometer is accurate. Great breaking and grip on wet roads. No rubbing with stock suspension and OEM sport magnetic wheels. I LOVE the way they look.

I just picked up my ranger this weekend and it came with the plastic bedliner. I'd love to grab a cover that works with the bedliner instead of having it ripped out. Would you mind sharing the link for this one?

Pressure washed it after wagtails attacked the mirrors and pooped it to white.

Seems that after 1500 miles the road grime is such that it does not fall off anymore with pressure washer & foam wash. Guess I need to go and get me some microfiber mittens and do it manually and do a proper wax on it at the same go.

Found a rock chip on the hood also. That would be the first dent.
