I am not crazy about the quality (thickness) of this bed liner. I would recommend a PENDALINER brand. I had that brand on one of my pickups and I liked the quality.

I'll try to get a picture tomorrow.

The trailer hitch i ordered came in Wednesday night. I didn't get a chance to install it until today. Its a 3 piece unit rated Class IV 16000 lbs. Upon inspection of the rear frame area I noticed that part of the shackle support brace was in the way of the hitch install. So I decided to cut...

Tuesday afternoon the bed liner finally came in. Got it installed by the dealer. Found out they will do wiring in vehicles. $50 for installing the electric brake controller. They provide the wires. I am going to have them install a cigarette lighter receptacle while they are at it. I...

Don't waste your money on Duplicolor. It scratches easily. Look up Raptor bed liner paint. From what I have read it is the best do-it-yourself bed liner paint out there. $115 on Ebay for a kit that will do a 8 foot bed.

(Monday) I was thinking of getting the bed of the truck professionally done with Rhino Liner or Bullet Liner. The estimates were $550 plus tax for the Rhino and $450 plus tax for the Bullet. Way too expensive! Decided to price out bed liner insert. $139 plus $18 installation. I ordered...

Update: (Tuesday) New windshield and weatherstripping installed. (Friday) Took her in to my mechanic for a complete checkup and maintenance. Got all the fluids drained and replaced. Radiator hoses and heater hoses replaced. All belts replaced. Ordered replacement oil cooler hoses. (one...

Yesterday I tried to replace the bent/cracked tailgate on the truck with an aftermarket one I bought from J C Whitney. After installing the lock mechanism and custom fitting it to my truck I was able to close the new tailgate. Problem I found was that it was so cheaply made,- that the...

Went over to Jeff's place Saturday to recover the M1008. We replaced the Military batteries with Group 31 batteries I brought with me. Took a bit of work to move the support bolts and reinstall them in the new narrow pattern of the Group 31 batteries. Had to replace the front ones with 1/4"...

Thanks PB! Gonna paint her CAMO to match he big brother.

Good eye there! They are on both sides of the truck. Clean install too.

I purchased a M1008 pickup from GL auction at Camp. Shelby in MS on October 24. 2013. Jeff Davis did a quick inspection on it and recommended I get that truck. It was listed as hood latch broken running condition unknown and no key. Standard ignition lock key did not fit. I won the action...

The Marine version of the M923 have Detroit Lockers on them. Does that help?

FYI Ebay has a Buyer protection policy. If the item is not as described, the seller has to take it back or issue a refund. If the seller does not cooperate then Ebay will take the funds out of the seller's account and refund the buyer. Normal procedure is to contact the seller first and...

Why not drive it slowly to a service center or tire shop on route. (a truck stop would have large air gun to do the work)

I don't think you have enough lights on it. Maybe one of those aircraft spotting lights like they used in WW 2.

I have seen heater cores cheap on Ebay. If you have the original you can measure it and then compare to what they carry. Might save you some money.

I was more concerned with trying to close the tailgate with the back curtain in the way. Right now I lift the tailgate partially up and then pull the vinyl curtain over it so I can close it. The ladder would make it harder to lift the vinyl to clear the tailgate. I am not saying it can't be...

It's a nice ladder but the 1 flaw I see is that it would make it harder to close the tailgate if you had the vinyl cargo cover on. I would be better if the ladder would fold up when closing the tailgate.

M923 is the standard 14 foot dropside cargo. The M927 is the 5 ton longbed cargo 20 foot long.
