Got my new-to-me tonneau cover cleaned off, stripped down, and the bottom side ready for bed liner.

Should have taken pics but spent a few moments trying to grind out a broken brake bleeder screw. It'll go, just need time and patience after breaking an EZ-out.

I got my LED headlights. driving lights and the Bambi Mod performed. It really looks better now when they're on, and is a touch better lit up as well for vision.

I may miss Bambi!

No dice. Any further and I’ll hit the seat. So it’s off to advance or o Reilly for a new set of calipers.

Got the first coat of bed liner applied to the bottom side yesterday. Due to weather, I had to do this in the garage but I had the door open about 3 feet. I still dogged out the entire garage to the point I was worried about the vapor concentration and was apprehensive about triggering the garage door motor to open it all the way.

First off, that looks way better already.

Second off, if you think that's bad, try doing that but also running a propane heater because it's so cold that the bed liner won't even dry appropriately. That's a way to make your every waking moment feel like a miracle.

On that note, though... I was able to not only get a partial refund for the grille that arrived damaged ($175), I also broke out the plastic epoxy, JB weld, and sandpaper. Got the grille repaired and mounted. Broke the bolts in the old grill because they shattered the plastic that held them in place, so I busted the old grille getting it out a little bit.


First pass with trim and bumper rattle can.


The repaired damaged area. A little bit of repair showing up, smoothed over, only notice it if you know about it, really.


Second and third pass with spray bedliner. Made this nice subtle two tone look.


Got it on and lights in (after sealing them against the elements just in case), but noticed one of the connectors has a loose cable. I'll wire them in tonight.

Too bad they don't make the bed liner in white..... it would reflect the light into the bed when its open.
Do you have bed lights ?

There is white bed liner but I wanted black. I’ll be getting bed lights soon. I’m going to throw a layer of dark grey carpet on the inside of the cover before installation.
