Got the bed on and everything done. Also had a u joint cap get pushed out. Oops. My luckily no damage was done and I fixed it on the side of the road with my spare u joint I had. I know right? What luck! This time I made sure the Clip seated

Still have a soft brake pedal though.

But on the good side, the tires like to light up now lol
