Maybe I got lucky, but it has been quiet as a mouse - and I don’t even have the fridge mounted on it yet. I hardly know it’s there...I did this about 6 months ago. Did you noticed a little bit of a rattle when its in the locked position? I just wedged a baby diaper at the inside edge to temporarily fix that... Guess I should get a foam strip or something like that. LOL
View attachment 1675518 Went after it today and plasti-dipped the door moldings and side moldings.... we shall see how it turns out. Overall I think it will be much better than my cracked and bubbling old stuff from 2002. Thanks to @KraziAzn for the idea and tips. Will show the finished product in the a.m.
I got the same color LC, love your truck!Pulled the OME Nitrocharger Sport shocks and installed new OEM shocks and Old Man Emu 865's in the rear, gotta tweak the front end but my friend said let it settle for a day and we'd remeasure and crank the front up a bit more after driving for a day.
Going to be selling those OME shocks (less than 500 miles) so keep an eye out for them in the classifieds. Inquire about them there.

haha wow! you went all the way covering your car! I just used old newspapers. Yours will probably turn out better than mine.View attachment 1675518 Went after it today and plasti-dipped the door moldings and side moldings.... we shall see how it turns out.

excited to see how it turns out. did you go with the top coat? That's an awful lot of work in masking and prep for a coating that can just be peeled off. I did my badges and letters with plastidip and have to redo it ever other year... the benefit is that I don't have to worry about masking between all the letters... I just hit the whole area and pick out the areas between the letters.
I masked all that because I had some extra spray going around the car with my fan going so I just did it so I didn’t have a alitle extra hitting randomly. Basically I’m OCD lol.
Sorting out the few issues with the new 'Cruiser.
1 - Pulled fender flares & managed to remove driver's side pinstripe.
2 - Swapped out the alternator & discovered an idler pulley was the source of bearing whine. If my wife asks it was preventative maintenance!
3 - Swapped a rattle-prone muffler for a MF 12586. Only complaint is idle drone. Hoping to correct by welding on the OEM 'damper' onto the MF unit
4 - Ordered heater t & idler pulley for install next weekend
5 - Handed my detailer the truck to sort out the paint. There was glue from the fender flares & overspray everywhere! Picked it up for the weekend & will hand it back to a body shop to touch up chips, etc before handing back to my guy for a glass coat (Donavin @ Above & Beyond Austin, TX) for a two year glass coat / interior. The PO's makeup is still everywhere (a Dentist's wife truck! ).
