It was kind of a PIA since it came off in little pieces, not in big sections. My patience was thin

That was the difference them. I just sanded it and didn't peel off all the blue and that laminate. I used a bed liner spray paint similar to the kind you did. Well I guess I can try to peel it up and re do it. Thanks.

Don't go heavy on the bed liner either since it's a lot thicker than normal paints

Here's the Edge pod so far. I'll let it harden over night before I put it back in the truck. I found some Rustoleum Metallic paint. After comparing a test spray to the dash, it was a somewhat lighter silver than the dash so I sprayed a base coat of black down then lightly sprayed the silver on until it was the color I wanted. This is best done with good daylight so you can see the true color. I'll post pics of it installed tomorrow.

just went through the whole thread. i like the truck so far. good to see someone modding to improve what they want out of their truck, not just doing it because its what everyone else is doing. cant see backing up at night, wire in back up lights, ect.

keep up the good work.

i forgot to ask, did the aal settle down any? its still giving you 2 inches of lift?

so if im understanding this correctly, you could do the autospring aal and remove the stock block and break even right?
