    I’m now trying to figure a way to incorporate them inside my wheels hubs. Hahaha

    Seriously, I’m stoked on the light. I couldn’t make the strip bend up the jamb like I wanted due to the compound nature of the curve, but its working just fine. It now makes me wonder why no vehicles are made without them there.

    I can't speak for these lights themselves but I've used the brand before with good luck. Should be able to find a way to mount them without drilling any holes.

    Very happy overall with the paint scheme. There will be some small items to be painted and tackled on another day. Also, some touch ups are needed in a few areas due to human error. Only doubt I have is the main door handle pull being so red and large, but its a total tear off to redo so its staying. Next time, I’d just paint it black.

    You can see the floor mats I painted last year holding nicely. On the radar to complete paint job are the dome/map lights (in black) and seat belt tabs refresh (in red).

    I'd follow the design you have on the cup holders. Paint it black, trim in red. A little red goes a looong way. I dig those, not so much on the door stuff.

    Also, get your ass to TX and help me fix my truck since you've got so much free time.:D

    I would do it if I was there. It's not hard. Turn on some music and get at it.

    Wiped down/dusted the interior. Wiped all the rubber door gaskets. Added a few oz. of Seafoam in the tank.

    Yesterday: Sprayed some PB Silicone on the seat belts. This is a helpful trick that makes them slide like brand new. If you haven’t done this before, then clean your belts really good with a degreaser to remove grime/salts/etc. and let dry.

    Spray the PB Silicone on the belts by drenching. Let dry and thats when the magic happens. The stuff works after it drys. Slip slip!

    I only did a refresh so no need to drench.

    My list of projects just keeps on growing. My driver’s side is slightly slower than normal and it’s been bugging me, guess I’ll be knocking this out sometime this week.

    Might have to try that silicon idea.. I soaked mine in a bucket of hot water and oxyclean for an afternoon and that cleans them up nicely.

    Anyone have the spec on the bolts on our beds? As in what size/type head? Looking to remove bed bolts with the 1/2” Milwaukee drive impact.

    I tried to help you, but my bolt heads are coated in line-x.

    I did just finished adjusting the headlight height. It wasn't done by the previous owner after leveling it.

    My driver side could use this treatment. So you spray down the entire belt with silicone spray let them dry, then degrease?
