That is f'n cool bro. Smart ingenuity behind that. I would recommend throwing a few coats of Thompson Water Seal or something similar. All my hardware will go in my toolbox when I decide to buy horns. Since I don't integrate anymore it's become a catch all.

I know there is an issue, but until it blows up, there's no way I'm gonna find it. The entire front end was rebuilt right before I bought it, and I helped the PO do the front end on it, so I know that not only was it done, it was done right. It just got an alignment and all the tires previously on it never showed signs of there being a problem with the front end. The steering is TIGHT, there is no play anywhere in the front end, probably the tightest and most precise steering I've felt on a used vehicle ever.

I'm sure the issue is compounded by the leveling kit, wide rims, "Spacers" and bigger tires than stock. I imagine they aren't causing the problem on their own.

Interestingly enough, rode in my friends Powerstroke last night, which is pretty much stock height... He was experiencing the same thing I am experiencing.

I was doing a little more reading and came across Tramlining and it is a lot closer to what I am experiencing and one of the fixes for it is to reduce the front toe... I have neither the knowledge or the certainty that I am that precise, so I'll save my pennies and go get it aligned again at another shop. This time, I'll tell them what it is doing and maybe they can help out a bit. But, the truck doesn't look toed out, tires on this thing always wore evenly when my friend owned it and even when I bought it the duratracs on it never cupped or scalloped. Another thought is that the road is just shifting around since it's been 20 degrees at night and 65 degrees in the evening and the truck is just riding around in the now irregular ruts.

This is exactly what it is doing...

Just fixed my "broken" suicide door latches using the thread and replacement cable housing ends I found on the forum. With a little help a Gen 10 can last forever! Went out to get something from the car and opened and closed both of the truck's suicide doors with both the jamb and inside handles because I could.

Finally, after like 3 year, I put my Alaska Hitch cover to use.

Also, had to snap a front picture with the new phone to see how well the pictures would turn out on here.

Framed out the floor for my bed build. Will be carpeted and illuminated under my bed cover. Will also mount my 10gallon compressor tank and stainless hardware at the back of the bed. 1/2 pressure treated.

I can see where you're going with this, but why not look at a Bed Rug, instead? It would be carpeted all the way up the sides that way. Of course, you wouldn't be able to mount the compressor, etc. without putting holes in it. And it would be more expensive. And you've already got a good start on the base.... Maybe not such a good idea after all. Nevermind.
