Lol thanks. I'll be sure to get a pic loaded up and in use. -Brady

Great report. You have the 20" wheels, correct? -Brady

I run an Edge CS2 and am very happy with it.

Best bet is just get a monitor. Egde or likewise will display all kinds of temps. You'll learn pretty quickly that not much cool down is needed. As far as no starts due to low temps, I've read examples of this engine firing up in well below -40dF temps not even using the block heater. Use the...

No sorry I don't know of any. I order my oil & filter from IDPARTS.com. -Brady

The Limited will have every bell & whistle standard as far as creature comforts. Maybe check the gear ratio if towing heavy is in your future. Your choices will be 3.55 or 3.92. Negligible mileage difference between the two reported, so opt for 3.92 if you can. Personally I'd add on a spray...

Not sure what to make of this. Think it's more of a sly move to boost sales then anything. More then a few consumers will pull the trigger on a new vehicle once they get to the dealership I'd bet. -Brady

Appreciate it! Definitely could be cleaner tho, especially the welding. Next one will be better. -Brady

After 3 coats of primer, here's first coat of Safety Blue. Why it's called that and how I came to pick this color I have no idea. -Brady

Very sad news. Only had a few exchanges with him but they were always pleasant. Shawn I wish you could've gotten the help you needed to avoid such a tragedy. You will be missed. Thoughts & prayers to his family. -Brady

All I have left to do before paint is just some finish work like deburring edges. Project did go over budget, $117. -Brady

Yea, kinda like a heck with it snap decision I went with this lineup- I'll use the undercoating for the tops of the tubes where the reels slide in and on the legs that slide down into the stake pockets on truck. We will see how the blue turns out lol. -Brady

Finally received my brackets from Ballard Fab out of Marysville Ohio. Tacked in place. -Brady

To be honest, if you dump this truck because of a few fills of not-exactly-spec-oil, then you're already expecting it to fail, and might be better served to find a vehicle you fully trust out to the warranty's mileage. JMO. So I'd 'chance' it, and keep on trucking. -Brady

Lol no offense taken. You have a good idea. Ideally aluminum would've been my choice. Using a tube bender and a notcher and I could've gotten surgical with it. BUT I lack the tools and knowledge for that scenario. -Brady

Lol well PVC just wouldn't jive with my mid-evil overbuilt theme I have going on. But the tubes are cold rolled, no weld seam. Not sure I coulda figured out a way to join the plastic & metal anyhow. You are right tho, this thing will have some rust no matter what I do. But being as its use will...

Yea I'm just about at $100 with the material cost. $35 for the steel and I found a machinist to cut my brackets for $55 shipped. So a good rattle can job will be put me slightly over budget but still darn close. And thank you, will do. Work will be slow for a week or so until brackets are here...
