    Keep your truck bed secure and covered! (BAK MX4)

    I've had the MX4 for 3 years. The inside of the bed stays dry in the rain. At about year 3 the lengthwise side ribber strips split at the first fold because the radius is so tight (and I open it a lot). However it still stays dry because that leak point drains into the side rail track. The hinge...

    GEN 2 Dual Diode Dynamics SS3 pods

    Just posting my dual bumper pods, for anyone considering this setup. I've never liked the look of 3 lights crammed in there, because half of the outside one is obstructed, and the inside beam pattern of the inner light is also obstructed. I looked all over for a pic with just duals but never...

    Going To MOAB, where to start?

    If you want to do some crawling and not scrape, try the tower arch trail starting from inside arches national park. It IS wide enough, but wheel placement is crucial. Very doable. And then there's a huge arch out there that not many people can go to, followed by a technical sandy exit trail.

    DIY stereo upgrade for under $500.00

    Had a rattle in the door, so I began the <$500 upgrade with front speakers only. Seeing the low quality of the "B&O" speakers I quickly transitioned to a full speaker replacement. Here are pictures of the stock speakers- I couldn't find pics any before I started upgrade. Paper junk. The new...

    Ceramic coating

    After XPel Ultimate on all the front surfaces and B pillars, I did CQuartz UK myself. No paint correction needed (I did not let dealer wash or prep the truck). 2 bucket wash (foam cannon, rinse, then wash with dawn soap); then XPel; then same wash 3 weeks later; then Iron-X (wasn't really...

    Plasti dip wheels to match fender?

    Since my first experience with plastidip didn't go "according to plan", I only got 3 wheels done. So I have an asymmetrical truck right now. 4 coats of black, followed by the 2 coats of pearl graphite.

    Plasti dip wheels to match fender?

    Jspeers89 (OP) - did you do the anthracite? I've been debating between anthracite (with glossifier) and hyper graphite (pearl) Also if you do anthracite, it does look a bit different after you hit it with glossifier. Pics please if you actually went forward with the work. Thanks.
