Much appreciated I may have to expedite some of the process; big changes coming again soon for the family

Very cool truck. Subtlety and simplicity go a long way in making a spectacular ride. My road-going efforts tend to be a little more Square, but I have always kept an eye on these trucks.

Thanks a lot! Subtle is definitely my style

Chris, I picked up the rear gravel guards from Mike tonight. Will see about getting them to you asap. Maybe Steven and I can make another run up to you and deliver them in person or even better at the Marksville show!

Awesome, thanks, and that would be great! I should be back in the saddle by then.

Yes, removed a big washer/spacer from the core support bushing, which allows the whole front clip to tilt down in the front, aligning the back of the fender with the front of the door. The gap was tight at the cowl and loose at the rocker. Probably the right way to do it is to shim the cab up, but it’s already aligned with the bed and the easier way is to drop to front down a touch.
