Got the bed Line-X’d today. Looks great compared to the blinding white it was. Now I won’t cringe every time I toss something in the back.

Started paint correction today before applying Adam’s graphene. Took me a bit to find how aggressive I would need to go with my pad and compound choices. Lots of work ahead. Looking forward to getting this done so I can do the easy part, applying the coating!

Can’t wait to hear how you like the graphene coating.

I am planning to do mine as well. My Griots polisher should be here tomorrow.

Good choice! I also really like their complete compound, and their pads. Good stuff. I have quite a bit of their products in my detailing supply

@Bignick75...Thanks!

Yes, getting the Dirt Logic coil-overs and rear shocks are overkill if you're not really four wheeling in the rough stuff much and definitely a lot more expensive. Fabtech 3″ UCA Lift with the rear Stealth Shocks is Fabtech's mid-level lift and probably a bit more comparable to the Ready Lift SST 3.5-inch lift system. The Ready Lift system is slightly cheaper and will give you a true 3.5-inches of front lift but no rear shocks or new ball joints not to mention the reduced front wheel articulation and degraded ride quality over road imperfections, speed bumps, pot holes, etc. (same for the Ready Lift base 2-inch system). I am not overly impressed with the Fabtech UCAs so will call it a draw between those and the ones provided by Ready Lift; neither are adjustable but both are an upgrade over the factory UCAs. For sure the Fabtech system is a big upgrade over Ready Lift's 2-inch leveling system but also twice the price of the Ready Lift system too.
Perfect thanks!

Also, just dropped off a set of OE 22" Sport wheels at the wheel refinisher to be refinished in stain black (à la Night Edition) and wrapped in 285/45/22 Continental TerrainContact AT's.

Picked up the wheels. These were "Sport" wheels (with the machined face). They had a little rash when I bought them. The wheel shop I took them to is no joke. It's not a simple powder coating shop. They do full wheel restoration (repair rash, bends, cracks, etc). These things look better than new!

If you're in the Tampa area, Glenn's Wheel Polishing.

Stock 22" tire size. No lift. No level. No plans for either.

Added a NOCO port plug to the rear bumper for the block heater, just gives it a cleaner look than having a plug hanging out your hood scratching your paint in the winters.
Hey PHFT, just got my Noco and was looking at the exact same spot ! lol.. Did you run another cord between the Noco and the heater plug?

I believe he would have to as the plug from the heater cord would not make it to the Noco plug. I have been entertaining the thought of putting in a Noco plug for a battery tender and was going to throw in a heater plug along the way. Keep us posted with how you run the cord. The directions for the bed lights installation have a route to the front of the vehicle. Unfortunately I can not find the pdf for the bed light kit install to assist in that matter. Found it, thanks to:
