To remove the panels, just two thumb screws. It would take all of a minute or so. But it folds up so tight to the rear glass, I can't see ever having to do that.

Does let a little water in when in the rain...

Put in a nice cat-back SI/DO Magnaflow Exhaust. It sounds sexy now!

Upgraded from my 4 factory speakers to Clarion 6 x 8s. Next a reverse camera(when it comes in the mail). Cant decide on the next project- adding some LED lighting for the bed, a sub or MK LT tails(06 are slightly differant than F150s).

Not exactly done to, but done for... I ordered within the last 2 days, an Engo E9000 winch, and a Harbor Freight universal Winch Mount Channel. I already have the spot picked out where this thing is gonna live... The brush guard is going to come off during the install work. I will likely buzz it down to bare metal, prime, and repaint it... The paint / powder coating is in pretty bad shape now...

New 4.56 Gears

Yesterday, just got my truck back from having new 4.56 gears installed in the truck to regain some of the lost power from my Nitto 35's. Reprogrammed my X3 to account for them and now starting the break in process.

Did all the grounds on my truck with 1/0 gauge, removed rear seat and did the lmi seat kit, swapped my 750.1 for a 1400.1 added a audiocontrol overdrive plus, and still need to order lug connectors, and 300 ANL fuse to do the final install of my big 3 upgrade. Build a box and shove the alpine 12's under the seat..woot woot

Replaced upper/lower ball joints, installed 2.5" AS level kit, replaced outer tie rod ends, and upgraded rotors/pads all around. Drives almost like she's new again....saving for firestone ride rite and custom skid plates now.
