I'm pretty pleased with the way they leveraged factory bolts/brackets for the valve mounting locations, requiring no drilling. However, it doesn't work exactly as advertised. Equalizing pressure with all 4 tires hooked up (either deflating or inflating) seemed like a pipe dream. It was unevenly split between driver's and passenger's side. That said, attaching a short hose at each wheel and doing them individually is still very simple, and overall I'm still happy with the kit.

Great work. Very clean.

Got the metalcloak fenders installed. Up next is installing the metalcloak diff covers. Then trying to decide if I want to keep the grille guard on the arcus bumper or change to the over rider bar. Or just take it off all together. What do you guys think?

Got the bed cover installed. Super easy install compared to my F150. Also came with a bed light for some extra light beyond the built-ins.

The lights look pretty solid. I'll take another look at them to see if there's anything I need to seal though!
Do you think you could post a pic showing the lights on at night?
Thinking of trying these instead of more expensive options if the light output of decent.

After installing the Insane Audio Jl3001 and Infinity dash speakers, the sound bar is sounding really inadequate..

Definitely an odd feeling cutting into a brand new vehicle, but it will be worth it hopefully.. I'm using the MB Quart 6x9 adapter kit and I will be installing JBL 6x9, hopefully tomorrow.

Probably didn’t need to, but removed my Bestop Sunrider for the winter. I’m garage kept but mainly did it to keep heat in a little better.

Made a cart for my hard top and rotopax bed rail mount. Such is the nature of being bored on rain days

Would you mind sharing dimensions or build instructions for that cart?

My hardtop has spent the summer flat, taking up a large port of the garage and that not going to work next year.
