I just bought a set of ACC carpet floor mats last week off of rockauto and am pretty pleased with them.

I actually didn't do anything with the truck this weekend (shocking). Over the past month though I installed the rebuilt Red Head steering gear with 105 shaft and swapped the Dobinson Caster plates for the Landtank ones. The truck is much less scary at highway speeds which is nice. I just had another alignment done so I'll post those. Let's play "Rate my alignment specs"! For reference, I'm running Dobinson C97-144VT heavies up front and C97-145VT in the back. I'm showing right at 25" from center of front hub to bottom of fender flare and 24.5 from center of rear hub and bottom of fender flare. Truck has dual batteries, front bumper/winch, roof rack, rear bumper, swingouts, spare, blah blah. It sits pretty level and honestly rides better than it did with the old worn out stock suspension. I'm just concerned with the Caster not being in spec at this point and the it "could" handle better if corrected.
Old alignment from June with the Dobinson plates and old sloppy steering gear. Truck was honestly scary at highway speeds.
New specs from today.

Lined out some early self gifted Xmas presents for the 80 on the living room floor. Going over mounting and waiting on a few parts to hopefully get them on in a month or so....
Eezi awn Swift- Finally off the boat. If your looking for an awning, get them while you can!
Delta sliders- Sweetness. Should go great with the bumpers and probably 100 more things I get from them. @Delta VS ,may want to beef up that box! the end busted out but the packaging held it in well. Good idea packaging the hardware and guard separate.
20+ years I refused sliders but the 37's are getting her up there and I'm not getting any younger to flop in... I think I'm just looking for a better excuse to add weight and have to get the LT1 sooner than later!

Definitley need some more caster correction. Trunion bearings, eimkeith drop Brackens, bushings, new arms... Take your pick
I’ve already got a set of the eimkeith brackets so I’ll probably throw them in after this weekend. Headed to Virginia for some wheeling.
Using it, but here

Customer’s LS3 swapped 80 in the shop and he wanted a 110v plug up front for laptop, cpap, vibrator…I dunno. Anyway the decision was to put it in the @deltavehiclesystems console as far forward as possible to make sure it cleared knees. It didn’t make sense going out in the center console because thigh meat is there. Front meant it would see drink sweat. Read meant dog drool would be a problem.
Picked an annoy color for the extension cord to prevent anyone in the future from confusing it with anything else. Cut off the plug end and replaced with a solder type that snaps it and is damn near flush.
Once it was test fit then the 110V warning was laser etched onto the panel.

Time to adjust the PS wheel bearing preload - was a tad loose. All came to bits easily including cone washers, benefit of CA weather.
cheers,
