Also just ordered a #29 Kevin Harvick for the passenger side. I think my fiance is a little jealous. LOL Also need to do the tailgate in bedcoating. Debating on removing it or leaving it on to coat it. Anyone done this? Which is easier?

That's next on my list. Not sure if I want to use the roll on or the spray cans. The cans seem to come out smoother than the roll on stuff. Look forward to the write-up.


I left the gate on to do the coating. It was easier for me considering I'm 6'2" and I don't have any saw horses. I'll have to write that down for the next time I'm at Lowe's.

Installed the FUPK (K&N FIPK, that is) today and took the old truck out for a joy ride. I'm liking it just fine and it feels like when I get around to doing the Hughes airgap and complete exhaust system it'll help out quite a lot. I also trimmed the bedliner so the BackRack would fit better and got the rack centered so I'm no longer annoyed by seeing it off-center when I look in the rear-view mirror.

Next up is the toolbox which won't be here until the week of the 24th, then no more modding until after we've moved out of state.
