Added running board letters. Please excuse the filthy ride.

Are those Tuf Skinzs letter inserts?

Installed rooftop tent (Tepui Autana) on top of Billiebars (short-11") bed rack. Bed rack is installed using the t-trax on the the Retrax ProXR tonneau cover. Cargo slide is the Decked Cargoglide (100% pull out w/ 100lb capacity). I set the tent off center to make room for an awning later.

Installed the Borla S-Type mid pipe. Pretty easy install once I dropped the spare tire. Instructions do not call for this but it was definitely easier once it was out of the way. She’s for sure more throaty. “Cold start” (68°) is definitely louder than factory. Idle is a little deeper but not loud. Highway cruising is more audible in the cab but no noticeable drone. It really comes to life when you get on it! Hoping the wife isn’t too annoyed First video is factory

Truck got the TSB 24-2212 for the a/c isssues done yesterday. Had five failures to cool last month in SW Colorado (wife was not loving it). Also, had the dealership install a Fumoto drain valve when changing the oil. They did, a so called four wheel alignment, too. While in Montrose, CO the right front wheel went over an 8” curb rather abruptly.

Got some camping in this week- slept in the bed under the SmartCap. Pretty comfy if you don't mind sleeping curled up.

Also did some suspension and tire testing in the mountains of West Virginia. I haven't rechecked torque on the suspension yet, but need to do that. Probably need another alignment as well- no hard hits or anything but it seemed like the Tremor had a tremor on the expressway this evening.

Next, we named it "Harrison". (Not a lot to do on the back roads, I guess, besides come up with names for the truck.

Lastly, I just ordered the Swarfworks hidden winch mount, which is finally back in stock (or so the website says), so hopefully I'll get that installed soon, and can install the Warn winch that recently arrived!View attachment 31440
There, photo added so now it's official. This was at Holly River State Park. I'll discuss it a bit in the Camping thread.

18'' 317 Methods? 35'' rubbers?

Finally got around to doing the SS3 and SSC1 hack on the A-pillar. Used the SAE fog light and swapped in a flood lens because evidently the SAE fog lights use a higher power led chip.

Yep, 18" Method MR317 wheels. The tires are Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T. 35"-ish

Nice, I have the same wheels. I was looking at the Mickey Thompson tires and now I know what it'll look like if I pull the trigger!

I think they look pretty good. Road noise/vibration isn’t too bad either. Milage hasn’t changed much even though these are heavier than the General Grabbers.

Put on the peragon bed cover. I guess they have the kind that doesn't require drilling... But the one you have to drill for seems to be secured a little better

How do you like this cover? I've got one on my 23 402A and although it looks good, the ability to keep out water is something I'm not a fan of...

Don't expect to get any cover on the market and it be waterproof.

Finally got the winch on this morning! I'll detail the process on my build page.

The only issue mine has is near the tailgate, no issues anywhere else for me. They have an extra gasket for that too so maybe I'll get that. Where does yours leak?

Contacted Peragon and this is the reply i got,

"The cover is a water resistant product and not waterproof as stated in the FAQ and Features pages on our website. Leaking will occur along the rail where the panel seals intersect the inboard rail seal. It is impossible to get those two seals to mesh closely enough to prevent water from dripping past that point. The water then may travel underneath the panel, along the panel seal until it drips off from what appears to be the center of the panel. Water tension can even permit water to run slightly uphill. We're not saying this is happening in your case, just that it might be.
Pictures are worth a thousand words and we would be happy to take a look at your cover. Please view the attached photos and send them along with any photos you have taken. This will allow us to look over the install and view the seals on your cover to see if any adjustments can be made.
Let us know if there's anything more we can do to help you." Of course I sent photos of mine with description and haven't heard back.

Wasn't expecting it to be waterproof but wasn't expecting soo much leakage either. Seeing water in the corners near the cab of truck, to me the rubber grommet that overlaps from rail to front of bed doesn't overlap enough. I get drips off just about all panels along the seals and I have the step in the tailgate so of course there's a slight difference in the seal meshing with tailgate. I'm gonna try to move everything a little closer inward and back towards the tailgate later this week, weather permitting.
