Excellent. There was such a gap there I was concerned. Early enough to catch incase it needed to be changed. We're safe.
Thank you for bearing with my paranoia.

Lookin' good. What color are you going to paint it? Put non-slip on parts of it. You'll be standing on it.
On a separate subject. I doubt the young lads wearing safety glasses. Go down to Harbor Freight and get a couple, 3 or so face shields. I'm sure there's at least one in the Fayetteville, Springdale area. And they are cheap.

I’m using raptor bed liner from Oreilys I got enough to do my bed to. He did have them on but I didn’t notice he had taken them off he didn’t do much he was just curios which for him that’s a big step he is autistic and mostly into video games

Spent part of the weekend rewiring the tail light harness. Just looking at it would give many nightmares. Got that squared away and working right, when the right turn signal indicator light would come on when lights were turned on. Today while chasing that gremlin, I found out the dash printed circuit was breaking down. So before going any farther I've got to replace it. Got one on order, should be here next week.

You ever notice that some kinds of fun we can do without?
I didn't even think plain ole stock wheel would be so hard to find.

As many of you know, I had a new set of wheels and tires put on my truck a few months back. I told them I needed an alignment done when I got them put on, and they said that they did one. Well, I left the shop that day and the truck was pulling to the right, so I went back and they SWORE to me that they did an alignment. A couple of weeks passed, and I took it back. Again, they swore the alignment was good. I continued to have issues. Fast forward to today, and I go in to get them balanced and rotated, and they decline to do so because the front tires have some slight wear on the insides. The service manager tells them he remembers me coming in numerous times to complain that the alignment wasn't correct. So, they are ordering me two new tires at no cost to me, and I will go back Friday to get them installed, plus an alignment. The service manager said they have been losing money hand over fist because they had an alignment guy who was saying he was doing work, but he wasn't really doing it - or at least he wasn't doing it the proper way. I spoke with their new alignment guy and he told me that he will take his time to make sure everything is correct and he promises I will not have any issues once I roll out of the parking lot. I told them I appreciate their honesty and for taking care of the matter, and I'd rather them take their time to get it right rather than having to continue to deal with this.

Do the alignment machines these days do printouts? If so suggest you ask for one.
While its a bummer deal to begin with, at least they're stepping up to the plate.

The shop I used to use always gave a printout, but they closed. I will ask for one this Friday.

Oh, I also installed a drop in K&N air filter today. I don't expect much from it at all other than not having to replace a filter numerous times per year.
