Tuff skinz stickers arrived hehehe love they quality of what they do.

Well this is a tiny concern as the dive locations I visit means 40 minutes through sand dunes. BUT I figured a simple cheap belt could be used to secure it if needed. The mechanism is more a pull out then it slides down, instead of pull down so for day to day stuff it should be more than fine...

So tried the windows today and they worked fine not an issue with any of the windows with eh deflectors installed. I'm not 100% convinced they will last overly long as the sticky glue stuff doesn't feel the strongest...but never know

Added a RC bed step and a RC rubber bed linner today.

Was a bit of a fight with the safety system when installing them at first. But as long as you have the deflectors flat against the contact surface which you will have to support the deflector when the window goes up it worked just fine. 72 hours of curing so one more day left and I will know for...

Did have a fight at first to get the front windows to shut. But after a bit of a fight it's working ok so far. See how it goes in the long run

New Rough Country window deflectors installed. Just waiting on the rubber RC bed linner and bed step to arrive

Nothing too exciting but replaced the aerial with a stubby and added some small 5.0 coyote badging

Ratchet straps to the box links. Once the cylinders are on its solid. Then strong bungees from racks over the cylinders and nothing moves. If there is a second level of cylinders which is often then straight ratchet strap over the whole lot

It did indeed

Certainly helped loads so far. Hopefully someone else can learn from this little journey for their own low level loads

Well cylinder racks worked an absolute treat. 6 cylinders through 40 minutes of sand duning to reach the dive location and they did not move a single mm. Only photo I got of the truck in the wild. As well as how the racks were secured in. Bunge ties used over the cylinders to help secure them in...

Latest addition cylinder racks for the weekly diving trips.

The racks all painted, hoping to install them today for their first test run this coming Friday. Two coats of weather proof paint and a thick coat of polyethene clear coat.

Added a Ironman 4x4 160L/min compressor to the truck. Couldn't justify the cost of the ARB's. Double the cost for something only being used 2-3 times a month at best. Not wired up or installed in to the truck as will be using it on my x-terra from time to time, but its home is under the seat...
