I’ll tell you what I won’t do again and that’s the Gatorback mud flaps. Such a pain in the ***** to install. Will post pics tomorrow.
Haha, i'll agree with you on that, though you get it far easier on the 13th gen with the brackets, but honestly, i'd do it again if i needed to, they work *really* well.

Man, I got halfway through and just wasn't a happy camper. They do look nice on but to get them on....I ended up receiving two broken plastic parts that pop into the bracket to seat the screws, sealed those all round, including into the bracket. Then I ended up coating the brackets so they don't look odd in their original bright aluminum silver. They can't come with coated black brackets?
Out of everything I've done to this truck, those were the most tedious and couldn't wait to be done.

Sounds about right - for what they cost, they're some of the most annoying things to get fitted, but once finally done, they look and function incredibly well; i have mud/water all over my tyres and wheel arches from my Christmas tree hunting, exactly zero got up on my paint, or anywhere else for that matter.
I decided to tackle trying to get my long range RF remotes AND the Linkr LTE module to work for my remote start. I gave up and reprogrammed the remote start to function with just the factory fobs and the Linkr LTE module since I have my phone with me all the time. Works great now.
Hauled other peoples trash today. Went to the off road park and did some trail maintenance with a group of people. Cemented in new posts, hung some signs, and cleared trees/brush out of the way. I was the only truck, so we used the bed to haul off the trash.
Rostra 250-8455 multi-cam module arrived today.
Now just waiting for my side mirror cameras. I'm going to be installing after market cameras into factory mounting plates in the mirrors.
I want to keep the factory look. Just cleaner looking than the bulky under mirror options.

Thanks for doing your part and helping us to stay green. Now, that beautiful truck is crying for a spay in or drop in liner. Perfect time to get it done with all these holiday specials floating around.
