    has anyone else noticed their BAKflip tonneau covers fading??

    I had the same issue, contacted Bak Industries directly. All I had to do was take pictures of the fading and the receipt. I also registered it on their site, but I'm not sure that was needed. Then, once they verified it was still under warranty (with the receipt) and the fading was covered...

    How To DIY Painted Edges on Taillights

    Only the gap/edge that runs around the perimeter. You know, area that traps soap bubbles when you wash the truck. It also traps dirt. I used and old toothbrush with dish soap and water to clean, rinsed with fresh water and dried with compressed air and sunshine for a couple hours before...

    How To DIY Painted Edges on Taillights

    TheWolf. It was ridiculously easier with those pipettes. And for $.50 each, a no brainier. Plan on using one pipette per coat. I told the guy at the hobby shop what I was doing and he recommended acrylic. The first coat didn't really cover/stick, the second coat gave it somewhat of a smoked...

    How To DIY Painted Edges on Taillights

    Just did this mod and used a brush and syringe for the first one. Then found these plastic "pipettes" at a hobby store. What a game changer. The second light came out WAY better and way faster than the first. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New vs Used Raptor

    Sorry, but when they are selling for OVER MSRP. The dealer would be a fool to sell AT MSRP. Demand determines the price, but it's always up to you whether or not you want to pay it. Give them your best offer, you never know, you might come in over their next best offer and they might take it...

    Bad timing on my part. I was just in Moab 2 days ago with my lowrance I'm still learning how to use it. Looking forward to figuring it out with the hurl of this forum. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I'll have to give the Americana a shot when I get done with this trip. All these thunderstorms in the Four Corners region is keeping a pretty thick layer of grime on the truck. It seems to like it though. [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gotta give the sun most of the credit. The low light coming through a light cloud layer really made it pop. You can't even tell it rained on the freshly sealed paint a couple hours before I took this picture. Can't say enough about Adam's products. I won't use anything else on my truck. Sent...

    Raptor Sightings/Spotting (on the road or parked)

    Silver screw outside Panguitch, UT on 7/3. Hard to see in the photo but we were stopped on the highway b/c of a felony stop right in front of us. The LEO on the left had the AR on the dude while they took him down. Strange, I've lived in the LA area for 18 years without seeing anything like...

    Lowrance Elite-7m installed with DIY mount

    That's a good question. I started off on that track, using those bolts in addition to the others, but they just go into plastic that is part of the dash. If they break, the dash is broke. If the plastic tray breaks, I just get a new one and maybe beef it up more the second time. Sent from my...

    Lowrance Elite-7m installed with DIY mount

    I got it from Rugged Radios. I don't think it would be good as a daily driver GPS (it has all the roads/streets) but I don't think it has an address data base or anything. These types of GPSs are mainly for marine use with the sonar and for chart plotting, but work great for off road (without...

    Lowrance Elite-7m installed with DIY mount

    I know how you guys like pictures and thought I would try posting my first pic. I just made a GPS mount and am pretty happy with how it came out but have yet to try it off road. I designed it to be fully removable and leave no trace when it's out. Was wondering if any of you had problems...

    Looking for alignment shop near LAX

    I'll be going to mid perch and installing the cam bolts soon. My biggest concern is finding the right alignment shop near me. If any of you know a shop in the South Bay Area of LA with experience working on these trucks I would really appreciate it. Otherwise I will call SVC in Orange County and...

    VFH Roof install

    I just did this two weeks ago. I don't remember the size hole, but just started with a really small bit and then used a step bit to finish it. Just a quick, but good tip. Use blue tape over the spot you are drilling and peel the edges up and add more tape to make a bowl all the way around...
