Installed the front hitch and vent visors today.
After taking off the horrible factory ones that they installed half-assed.
New seamless visors

Curt front hitch
Everything almost off.
Installed. Took me 45 minutes with reinstalling the two hooks.

Rust 100% gone. Cab corners replaced. Rocker panels replaced, bed coated underneath. Driver's side door rust-free and re-sprayed. Damage to me? $2300. Just gotta find a place that will do a complete replace and not just bondo stuff in place. Plus it carries a warranty if it ever starts going bad.

Driver's side was way worse than passenger side.

I haven't done a lot lately, been too busy spinning up other projects.
What I have done, however, is swapped out the headlight bulbs and grabbed a custom 87 performance tune from PHP. The tune is significantly more responsive than the stock 87 tow tune that I customized, but basically the same levels of get up and go once engaged, so that's nice.
The bulbs I had to swap out because one of them developed a fault where it wouldn't detect voltage incoming to tell it to activate the light. I sent a message to the seller because they have a three year warranty and they're sending me a new set. So for now I'm running on the backup LED heads I bought last year around the same time and put into storage for just such an occasion.

Printed out a holder for my Midland 75-822 that will also hold my Baofeng UV-5R and UV-5R5 using the belt clips on each radio. Just sticks to the dash using double sided tape. So when I'm ready to install the CB, it's ready to go in the truck. Might print it out using PETG instead of PLA, in the near future, this was just a proof of concept.

Two things, giving credit where credit is due. That is a design from user 29erClan from this thread: http://www.thenewx.org/forum/297-ele...held-cb-2.html
And given that he put it on forums, it's in the public. So I am giving him credit, but also uploading the file to this thread as well.
