Unseasonably warm so I'm putting a coat of wax on. Last chance before winter.

RETIRED!
Finally worked up the nerve to pop the mirror skull caps off and install the sequential signals. I opted to stay with the clear lens. Awesome upgrade!

It seems there is no end to adding stuff. This forum is an expensive place to hang out. :)

Body plugs. El-cheapo from amazon. (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BD46WHY?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1)
Fluid film isn't arriving til Tuesday but why not install em now.

Some notes:
-Most of the plugs fit a little loose (minor wiggle), Don't see an issue, however.
-The factory robots dented the hell out of the rocker panels.
-And water drains between the pinch welds, not sure how I feel about that... Anyway, onto the pics.

Yep. Just like mine. Fits...but loosely. I've had mine in for a good while and have lost none of them.

Did you get the rubbery ones or the rigid plastic ones? I got a pack of each months ago and haven't gotten around to try to put either in the holes.

These are the rubber style, "thermoplastic" rubber if we want to be technical.
Due to the slightly loose fit I wouldn't use plastic style.

I don't have any on hand, but I'd suggest applying silicone paste lube (not adhesive) prior to installation. Help keep it sealed.

Added DD fogs today. It was a bit of a chore, as there isn't anything that fits the AFN bumper direct. I need to angle them down, but that's a project for another day. They look good though and I can't wait to get them pointed right.

Thanks for that tip. I will try the rubber plugs when I get around to it.

Had Line-X done a few days ago and then added the toolbox today. My toolbox appeared to missing the tether in the box though... I also had to tap out the threads on the bed after the Line-X. I pulled the tie downs and plugs, prior to taking it in. Broke the front drain plugs, so I have a set on the way.
