Installed some N-fab steps. Only thing I don't like is the ends are wide open. Need to find some caps or plugs for them so they don't fill up with crap from the road.
Get on Amazon and look for tube plastic caps that have same id as your side steps. They'll probably be advertised as fence post caps or something along the lines. They'll look similar to the plastic rivets that hold all the plastic moldings on our truck.

F--- me! I've never had an issue with this and now I'm hitting it all the time. I'm 6'3". This has never been a problem until now. Damn it!
So, I think I'm hitting this when I get in or out of the truck. Not while I'm driving it.

Ok, I gotta ask…..which wheel did you change? I mean, did you have a flat, or did you swap the steering wheel out or get new wheels all around?
I assumed it was just one random wheel of the 4.

I guessing they swapped the spare wheel for one that matched the rest of the wheels.

That looks like standard WD40...I thought you had to use a special "Damper Grade" Lube ???
I read somewhere that you could use this....after all, the damper does go in and out...
Maybe Dave can verify.....

Used WD-40 because the recent snow dried out the support mechanism that the tailgate cable attaches to :)

Not sure yet
Big fan of how pushed out these ditch lights sit on the sdhq brackets. Redid my ditch lights with these auxbeam triangular lights. More spot vs flood than ideal for a ditch light, but they're great for hostile drivers ?

Oh, okay. I saw the thread about the redneck mod, and thought you had gone over to "The Stupid Side" !!! :crackup:
