I bought Faction Fab from Stage 3, but it appears they don't carry them anymore.
Can't find them on their website, must be discontinued. I see Bora is on stage 3, they seem pretty nice.

Took off the front air dam and factor skid plates to put on the RCI skid plate. Didn't finish as one of the parts (speed clip plate) didn't quite match what was expected. Plus, the bolt didn't seem to want to go through it. The thread spacing on the plate doesn't seem to match the bolt. Might be fine and will hopefully finish tomorrow.

Took longer than expected and had to get replacement speed clip plates but it is on.

Getting ready for trip to Boothbay, Maine. Loaded Truck's bed with camping gear. Installed new Weize battery (OE was 4 years old). Pumped tires to 40 front and 50 psi rear, and did a 6 quart sucky tranny fluid swap along with bottle of Lubeguard
First trip this year !!!!
Very exciting along with the fun memories you will be creating! Make sure to post some pictures when the time arrives :)

just incase the pita to do interior is getting to you.. it’s looking very very nice and clean. The work you’re doing is worth it in my opinion.

Thanks!

The seats feel very nice and the interior now has that smell of nice leather.

It motivates me to finish the driver seat.

I wasn't sure what to expect with teh front seats due to heaters and airbags, but they turned out to be not really a big deal at all.

Now just to finish the driver seat and the door panels, and then get t-boned by someone texting on their cell... ?

I've been toying with the idea of removing the Decked. After our last trip, I feel like I can do it better. This case is all the important things that were in the Decked or mounted to the molle panel on the SmartCap. The Decked is now empty. I could get a lot of space back.

I still think the Decked is awesome but... with the SmartCap, I don't need the secure/dry storage anymore. I've outgrown/moved past Decked storage.

Got rid of the Husky tool box (not really using it and its taking much space on my already small 5ft bed) and installed a soft tonue rollup cover.

I like what you did with the paper towel roll. It's readily accessible but out of the way. Was that a kit that you bought, or did you MacGyver something together?

Its a Harbor Freight magnet mount. The band is something I picked up years ago and had laying around. Magnets are strong enough to hold it, easy enough to change out the roll, and the band keeps the paper towels from unravelling.

Before:

After:

Replaced Step Pad and Repainted RH Bumper (Piece)
I think if the damage was caused from (Truck-Stuff) working I could have just left it alone but my mind would not let me forget it.
Refresh; Minor skin rash from (Place in Park) rollback into a concrete pole.

All in $500, I did the labor, but had a shop shoot the paint (off truck), I had tried touch up paint had it pretty much hidden, decided that the Step Pad would be easier to replace vs repair and the Step Pad has to be removed to remove the Bumper End Caps anyway, might as well go all the way with it and pull the end cap and let a shop paint it. (Paint Gun & Booth)
