Not today, but a few additions over the last two weeks:

Bestop Sunrider
Rebel Offroad XPLOR Half Rack
iKamper Skycamp Mini

Got the tent and rack on just in time for a trip to the Ozark Mountains!

Damn, that’s nice. May I ask where you got that vinyl?
Yep. Found a seller on Etsy, named LB Designworks.



The Mudhorn black on black for the hood was a custom piece, but the vents on the side were standard, and to be honest, I botched those installs a bit.. they're actually supposed to be tucked under the vent, but after initial placement, I decided I'd prefer that little edge of color leading into them.

I've chatted with the owner a few times, and he seems pretty willing to do any sort of custom job you might want.

The quality and customer service that Brendan offers, is amazing. Contemplating having him do another piece, still, too :)

Thanks for the info! Krown isn't available to me locally but seems like the best bet as far as something done with a warranty. I've used fluid film for years but want to be a little more aggressive this time. More pics would be great, but just knowing that it's not enough to bother you is good enough!
Here are some pix of where he drilled the driver side door jambs to access the interior areas of the pillars & rocker panels for the application wand. The plugs he covered the holes with are circled in yellow.

The first two images show the front door jamb, and the last one is the rear.

These were the only places that he drilled on each side of the truck. He was able to access all the other areas he needed to by using existing factory slots & holes already in the frame & body.

I was able to watch while he did the application.
He did the interior of the tailgate via an existing hole in the driver side end.
After he was done, the vapor from the Krown product continued to vent from the end of the gate, the drain holes at the bottom, and around the tailgate latch for a full 10 minutes. So I have no doubt that all the interior surfaces were fully coated when it was done.
With that as an example, am also sure that all other interior box section areas of the body were also well coated.

Hope this is a help.

Definitely, thanks. I'll plan a road trip to one of these after delivery. I am surprised they haven't made it to Chicagoland yet. Ziebart seems popular here but sounds like trash from what I've read.

Depending on how far your closest Krown dealer is, the drive getting there will most likely take longer than the application process.
He had the application all done & the exterior washed in a little over an hour.

Today. Upgraded to Rubicon Eco Diesel Take off suspension. Also have TerraFlex 1.5 level and Core 4x4 front and rear adjustable trac bars. Nice upgrade. Sits perfect. Ride is firmer and more composed over uneven terrain.

Very nice. I'd imagine the higher spring rate from the model suspension Works out nicely

Yes after reading other peoples comments and success I can also attest its a good mod.
