After a year with my driver's side bed pocket and receiver shackle mount installed, I decided I definitely wanted a matching one for the passenger side. I made a few design tweaks (better access to the rear tie-down point and altering the brace since I didn't need another receiver shackle mount) and sent the designs off to be cut/bent/coated. Install was easy since I've removed my tie-downs multiple times and I don't have to deal with the factory thread locker.

My truck has been on vacation while I do some work and drive my 2018 mazda3. I did new rotors and pads on the Mazda and then have been driving it around town to enjoy the 29mpg in town and fun sport setting for the trans.

We are heading up towards dallas after I sign my retirement paperwork and load it to the online retirement application system tomorrow so the truck will get lots of miles the next few days. It's 6.5 hours to where we are going for the "largest swap meet in texas".

Bought it monday. Tinted the windows yesterday. Took it golfing today and my trailer decided to give out.... So had to borrow the big ass trailer to get my cart home. But Hey I shot a 77 and the aluminum trailer is under warranty so I got that going for me🤣🤣🤣

Looks like they ran a beautiful bead, but missed applying it to both pieces of metal. Sorry for your troubles.

I would love something like these. If I read your post right, these were custom designed and cut? Are there any you know of available commerically?

It was a busy day with my Ranger.

1. Installed a dash cam. Wired it to the mirror using a 5-pin type F tap kit available at Amazon.

2. Installed a screen protector over the center screen.

3. Installed a shorty AM/FM antenna.

3. FedEx showed up after lunch with my Realtruck Bakflip MX4 Tonneau Cover so that was installed this afternoon.

Think I'm wore out. Sitting in my man cave now with my GSD having an adult soda. Today is his BD. 9 years old.

That is the lot at the top of Steptoe Butte in Eastern Washington. Every time I get a new vehicle, I try to take that same shot.

Added the ford mud flaps. Can not recommend. What ford wants for these is criminal. I had point about to expire and the rest of their line up isnt much better. For the price these are crazy expensive
