Flipped my front license plate bracket cause couldnt stand it sitting above the bumper...
I was working on adding some mesh in the lower opening, so I removed the plate/bracket.
Looks so good without it! I never put it back, and if "someone " would ask where it is... I'm not finished with the project yet. Wink, wink, nod, nod...if you know what I mean?

Got the dash panels installed, hard to photograph the colour, especially at night, but happy with how it turned out.

Also fixed the red stitching on the wheel (needs another going over) and covered the red straight ahead mark with some vinyl (No, it’s not straight, tomorrow’s job).

Much less boy racer.

Also added auto mirror folding and central locking to the tailgate last weekend. Both should have been factory fitted, but what do you do?

For me it's the lack of energy some days and luckily it's not all the time. I can be good for days and sometimes weeks then all of a sudden I get really tired and feel like all the energy was just sucked out of me. My gf keeps saying it's old age creeping up on me but I'm sticking with the lingering Covid effects. ?
Same here. Go for days and then bam, like a deflated tire. Occaisionally I'll be working on something and about half way trhough the day all my energy is gone and I'm a couch potato! Guess I'm not 26 anymore!

Nice steps :like:

Thanks, they were more than I wanted to spend but less than Power steps and easier to install.

We're both short (5'6" and 5'2") and my wife has a bad leg, so these make eat really easy. It's like stepping onto a ladder rung for us.

I didn't like the style when I saw pics but my wife saw a video of them and said they looked the best to her.

But seeing them first hand, I really like them and glad we went this way.

The money I've spent on accessories would have gotten me damn near a Lariat! Well, a more decked out XLT at least.

Thanks for the nice words, I appreciate it.

And they seem to look extra sharp on yours, the stainless really pops with your truck's color!

Can you post a picture of windshield. I am debating on this when I get my Fronts done to match factory rears.
Tried to take a pic of the windshield tint. You cant tell its tinted in pics much less in person unless your sitting inside the cab.

Its a very light tint

All good thanks for the attempt.
No problem. It just doesnt show up well. I know its tinted but it looks like it isnt.
If you take it somewhere to be tinted ask the tinter guy to hold a piece of 70% up to your windshield.

Blew a tire. Lost 2 pounds of pressure per minute, luckily near my gf's house right when it happened. Luckily tire certificate warranty from discount covers the $300 tire. I may put those tires through some rough stuff so I find it quite worth to get the certificate. Just my two cents for that. Finally got my hankooks back on while I was there at discount as well. Summer tires here we go!!
