    For those search engine experts: I've looked but I'm such a noob (apparently) and can't seem to find it. Is there a video or a walk through on changing out the rear cigarette lighter socket ti a USB port? I have a bench front seat. Any and all help or pointing in the right direction will be appreciated.

    Thank you in advance.

    True. I was worried about the size of it; only 2 quarts. But that’s probably fine. Cut an old spray bottle and made a funnel because after this install, no more money to spend on a $5 funnel.

    Went for a morning rip. Played with the lower bypass tubes get rid of the small bump chatter. Felt damn good and was a on tear on my loop until the Christmas tree dash. Smoked an abs sensor. Easy fix.

    Powertank setup is awesome I like it better than my dual arb under the seat.

    Truck has started to sound like it was falling apart when parking or backing out of a spot. Skid plates were creaking and got really bad. I’ve got the full skid from Talons Garage. I put some plastic washers between the plate and the mounting point. It was easier than I thought it would be. I loosened and lowered the engine skids without taking them off. I was able to get the washer on one bolt at a time. It made a dramatic difference. The noise is all but gone now. I think I can hear a little creak at the cat shield/transmission/transfer case shields, but it may be my imagination. I may take a look at those tomorrow.

    Used these washers from Lowe’s

    Thanks Jim. VelveTop, black 5g bucket, yellow writing. Nice and thick, used 4 buckets. Dumped it all into 1/2 of a 55g fiber drum to blend and assure matching color. Took about 3 hrs. I think I measured the sq footage at 1550 or so.

    I have a Talon set, the same thing. Winter gets pretty creaky. I did the same as you but used pieces of an old dirt bike inner tube. I like your nylon washer idea better.

    A few... Definitely more than 2
    This should be what you are looking for. The video of the crewmax shows the replacement for a USB port. The other short video gives a good idea of the clip layout on the bench seat panel. The two panels seem to be fairly similar.

    Been waiting for an update.

    I want a CO2 can for my RV. Id rather carry a small can that needs no power to air up tires before a tow.

    Thanks. How long did it take?
    Did you do one bolt at a time?
    Did you only loosen, cut the washer and insert?
    Did you place the washer against the frame?
    Did you put a washer on the joint point bolt?
