I'm in the same boat now. Two attempts by Fibernew at repair. First ones the patch peeled off after a few months. Waiting to see how long the latest repair holds up. Fibernew tech said to call warranty company each time so need seat repaired. And they will push back recommending new seat covers based on have to redo repairs

haiya spilling my secrets
just kidding im messing with you but you got it right, but i am thinking using Safariland QLS QD system and backing plates because RAM ball mount will stick out too much. Plus, QLS makes life a lot easier for those who got multiple carry guns.

Thankfully being a slight hoarder came in handy lol. Saturday I was headed to town and noticed my brakes felt really odd. A few moments later I get the ABS light and traction control light. Made it home and scanned my codes - had an oem code of
Code C0031-2F which indicates an "Left Front Wheel Speed Sensor Signal Erratic" fault. Parked the truck and this is where hoarding comes in handy. I'd bought two front wheel bearing hub assemblies but never replaced the driver side. They come with the speed sensor pre installed. So I was able to use that while I wait for it's replacement to come in the mail. Unfortunately I believe my driver side wheel bearing is shot. The speed sensor had some metal shavings on it and the face had a groove being warn into it. So it looks like that'll be my project over vacation in a few weeks.
Also changed my oil the day before I did the speed sensor. This will be my third run of Restore and Protect. I don't know what I was doing wrong but I made a mess everywhere lol. Normally I can do the two bag method with minimal spillage. This time though I finally just said screw it and let oil go everywhere. Everything felt off. Couldn't get my oil filter in. Hand and arm placement felt weird. Was just a very weird experience lol.

Something to consider next time you do an lof: I drape a large puppy pad over the rack, and just let all of that oil run right down into my drain pan. After the filter is on, I spray a little brake cleaner around the housing to clear off any residual, then slide the pad out and toss it.

Installed a pedal commander and JB4. Haven’t utilized the JB4 yet but instant improvement from pedal commander. One of my biggest complaints of this truck was the throttle response and perceived lag. It’s all gone without any jerkiness or lack of smoothness.

I’m not sure what size I am using, I think they’re about 18 to 24 in.²

You use a puppy pad to drape over the oil filter area when removing the oil filter during an oil change?

Well note to self - if you see damage to your speed sensor itself you probably want to just replace the whole wheel bearing hub assembly immediately. New one lasted roughly 5 minutes. I was already driving when it failed and probably put 30-40 miles on it. The face of it was more damaged than the one I took out. Thankfully I still had my old passenger side wheel bearing assembly, robbed the speed sensor out of it and cleaned it up real nice. Replaced the wheel bearing assembly yesterday and dropped the truck off for an alignment today.

couldn't leave well enough alone. so i removed the jl audio 6x9 3ways from the rear doors then took the Kenwood Excelon KFC-XP6903C out of the front put them in the rear and put the 3.5 that come with that set in the headliner. then put JBL 6x9 stadiums(JBL Stadium 962CF ) in the front with the tweeters in the dash. it's official i'm done, it sounds freaking awesome!

I have recently succeeded in viewing my trailer camera through the digital rear view mirror via the coax plug on the rear bumper.
I absolutely love being able to see the road and traffic behind me through the OEM mirror.

Over the crossmember/rack, below the oil filter. Whatever oil does not get soaked into the pad drains down the hanging pad and into the drain pan.

Thank you for the description!
So I'm under the truck looking at what you described
The oil filter is 3 feet above my head and I can barely see it with all the interference that will love catching some oil and the drain plug is pointing at the sway bar. 
Do engineers even wonder why mechs hate them?
I'm not a big guy and I had all kinds of trouble crawling under the front due to the plastic air dam or whatever it is on the bottom of the bumper.
Good thing I'm retired and don't put much mileage on the thing, so oil changes will be only once or twice a year.
What do y'all think of the oil filter relocation kit that I've read about, here?
Is it worth the cost, effort and addition of more joints in the system?
