[QUOTE="ayoustin, post: 1622515, member: 28480"] Guess I'll just keep updating this thread haha. Got the bed sprayed with line-x a couple weeks ago. Really lucked out with that, when I dropped the truck off I was chatting with the owner of the shop and he was telling me there is a national shortage on their chemical so all they had in stock was their top of the line Platinum liner so he upgraded me to that at no extra cost which I was super thankful about. Got the truck back that afternoon and it turned out immaculate. Much much better than the factory spray in I had on my first gen. [ATTACH=full]165968[/ATTACH] I picked up a Boosted Grey Goose Designs speed override harness for the mirror lights so I can use them at speeds higher than 5mph. It's a cheap light upgrade that I think will be useful for when I'm on trails at night or just need a bit extra light setting up camp etc. Their instructions tell you to trim the keyway on the factory connector but I chose to cut their female connector in case I ever want to remove it. [ATTACH=full]165969[/ATTACH] Then after I gave the bedliner enough time to dry I installed my OEM bed extender and Thule xsporter pro mid bed rack. I was pretty annoyed with the condition I received it in, Thule put zero protective padding in the packaging so all the pieces were banging around against each other.
