Haha just be real patriotic.

I haven't had it on long enough to find out. I can see that backing up is going to be an adjustment. Right now there's not even one bolt holding the bed to the frame. I still need to clean up and paint the frame, fix a couple of dents and a few dings on the bed, and go from there. I'm anxiously awaiting the opportunity to swap out the grille, lights, and bumper up front.

Yea I really want to see the front swap. Be like a new truck

Yes the feels like here in Houston is 100 so I'm chilling in the trailer..... it's raining off and on too. Nice and steamy!

Yeah, I'm pretty envious of @frito-bandito right now with his ice cold air conditioning!

Learn to back up using your side mirrors like truck drivers do. Once you get used to it it's not that hard.

Yeah, I'm a big fan of mirrors. That's why I love the ones that are on my truck. I haven't had any issues with the topper being in the way in the last ~400 miles. The only thing that is getting on my nerves is 1) I need to get a key made for the topper, and 2) this bed came with a drop in plastic bed liner AND a rubber mat on top of that. It smells like pee in there something awful! I got the topper off and started sanding on it. Then I took the rubber mat and plastic liner out. There it was... 4 large mouse nests! Stinking mess! Quick trip to the car wash solved the stink issue. I still have to get some Dawn and a brush in there, but it supposed to rain for the next 7 days here, so I might just be lazy. Lol!

My son and I was kicked out of the house this morning and told not to come back until 3PM.
At 2:57, enroute to my house, I learned that when you stand on the brakes in my truck, the fronts lock up immediately and it feels like I'm hauling 9000#! 40mph to 10mph takes a good 40-50 feet. But I still managed to miss the two teenage girls "driving" their parents new Altima.

Anyway... I came home to this:

My best friend made the brave drive in from a couple of hours away. By that I mean that he's been pretty isolated throughout the pandemic. Showing up to an 1150 sqft house with 17 other people in this mess is pretty damn brave.
