What did u do to your raptor today?

[Jimbo]

We'll put a clock on him this summer

He's a machine. We'd be yelling over to him as he was working on Mike's truck and he'd be shouting off the order to do it, the sizes each are, and the best way to handle it; if he didn't have a day job, I'd want to hire him in a second.

@Kmandoske s truck

* icon 3.0" all around
* gusseted steering knuckles
* installed hood wrap
@Jimbo truck

* fixed some electrical issues
* icon lca skids
* gusseted steering knuckles
* finished the sdhq bed stabilizer install

My truck:

* hood wrap

And a shout out to Tim @svtlightning00 for helping band out Keith's 3.0s and the hood wraps. Also Todd @shooterAMG for the assistance on Keith's rear shocks, comical entertainment, and not pooping somewhere in the shop!

You can cheat! Take the front four out leave the back two in. Then use a ratchet strap to a rafter to lift the front enough to slide the new nut clip in!

Good idea. My thought was to use my hoist in my workshop to lift the bed. Your method shaves some difficulty. My other thought was to see if my dealership service manager is feeling helpful and have them do it. I already have the clip and spare bed bolts. Sometimes it is good to be the guy with all the spare "just in case" crap.

I used that method to change out some nut plates when switching to dorman bolts with the studs for my rack welded on them.

Got 4 of the 5w Apollo lights from @Nick@Apollo-Optics. 2 amber and 2 flood. Wired them to #3 & 4 of the upfitter switches. Install would have went better had I remembered what Nick told me about not using the wiring harness that came with the Ridgid mount kit. They use the same connector but the polarity is reversed. Spent about an hour trying to trouble shoot before I realized the problem!

Glad you were able to get it all figured out, Jubal! Thank you again for your business!
