No, he said he was "a cute". Wait...no, he said "not acute". I dunno...either way he surely didn't say he was "a hoot".

So now he's surely not a hoot? Does he give one?

Mine got a bath and some Mother's Back to Black for the fenders, mirrors and door handles.

Blacked out a couple unsightly exterior pieces. Front bumper fog light trim was done a couple weeks ago and rear reflectors today. Krylon Fusion FTW!

Put in a Cold air Intake, and got a line-x spray, and took it out for some photos over the past few days. Not pictured: added some dodgers emblems and dino decal on front window.

I installed the Draw-tite hitch last week, finally got around to installing the brake controller:

(Still need to add some trim to hide my saw cuts).

After installing this, I cannot recommend putting it here. That is the original model Prodigy brake controller, not one of the newer ones that can be installed at any angle. This one can be placed at up to 70 degrees vertically, but only about 1/16th of a degree below level! Seriously, the first 3 times I installed, it complained about facing downwards. I ended up enlarging the hole much more than I wanted.

Now that it is in, I like it. My legs never get close to it, I can see it through the steering wheel, and it is easy to access. But what a pain!

For wiring I used the https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories_and_Parts/Tekonsha/3073-P.html gladiator specific harness. No feedback issues, very easy install.

Airlift 1000. Rides so much better with the weight I have in the back. Adjustable when we gear up for a trip or when I'm pulling my camp trailer. I plan to switch springs and suspension when some heavy duty springs come out. Probably get a good deal at Overland Expo West.

Just curious if that is factory bed liner or aftermarket... did they remove all the fasteners before spraying?

Factory bed liner. Not sure if all of the fasteners were removed.

Probably shouldn't have used it on your license plate, though! :LOL:;)
Ya beat me to it. LOL - noticed that, too. I guess I'll avoid the back to black around license plates after seeing this. Wonder how you fix that?

I'm Canadian, sooo...

(bonus marks if you get that reference)
I'm not Canadian, although I was a Possum Lodge member if that counts......
My guess from the look on the guy's face - mocking Canadians was his thing, eh?
