Sunday's Show and Tell...3/17/19

-
Not much and as usual nothing bike related.

NOS Casite rack with a couple of cans and a Xonex Boardtrack racer, wanted one for awhile, finally found one at a fair price

We decided to use a big chunk of this year's tax return money and pay off my truck 2.5 years early. I'd like to upgrade to a different truck, but it's not in the budget right now.
So I decided instead of upgrading trucks, I'd upgrade my current truck and take care of a list of things that have been bugging me, so I will be happy driving it a few more years.
Started by ordering a Bakflip tonneau cover to replace the cap I had on it that I hated. I installed that on Tuesday.
The tonneau didn't fit with the factory plastic bedliner, so I ordered a Bedrug bedliner. (been wanting one anyway)
Friday I officially paid my truck off. What a great feeling!:cool:
I went home from work Friday to pick up my new Bedrug that was just delivered, and the other stuff I needed to install it, and drove back to work so I could pull the truck inside to do the install, as it was too cold and rainy to do it outside.

Then, on the way home after installing the bedliner, I got a nice big stone chip in my windshield! Talk about a buzz kill! I've already had to replace the original windshield, and already had one stone chip in the replacement. This chip is even bigger. Now I gotta get that fixed on Tuesday. :mad:

Then, along with the other upgrades I decided I was tired of the noisy dual exhaust I had put on it several years ago. So Saturday I went in and had a stock muffler and tailpipe put back on. Nice and quiet again. I liked the duals at first, but grew tired of it, being a daily driver.

Still have a few more things to take care of, like speakers that go in and out, and wheels. The clearcoat was already peeling off the wheels when I bought the truck so they have always looked like crap. I may try to refinish them myself or replace them if I find a good deal.

It's been a great truck so far and I figure if I invest some money to make it more to my liking, it's cheaper than financing another truck.

So here are some pics I took Friday after I installed the Bedrug.

The new tonneau cover, Bakflip MX4:

And the new Bedrug bedliner which by the way is very easy on the knees if you ever have to kneel/crawl on your truck bed:

One very important feature on this tonneau cover, is the fact that with the locking rods, you can drive with it all the way open like this, for full bed access.
It'll work well with the 2x4 bike rack I built a few years ago.

Paying of your truck 2 1/2 years EARLY--congrats. Good move.
