Bedlined fenders and steps. Three cans of be liner coating and two cans of plastic primer. About $45. If your tired of your fenders fairing, try this. I've used armor all, back to black and plasti dip. Hopefully this is my solution.

I installed a 285/70/17 spare tire. However, the bump stops were too short. I was going to buy the Daystar Bump stops, but I heard terrible reviews so went to Lowe's to look for an alternative and this is what I came up with. I found these rubber coupling in their plumbing section. The original bumps fit very nicely inside these couplings. The length happened to be perfect and I did not have to do any adjustments. Total cost $8.29

Nice I need this and knew if I waited long enough that I would come across somebody with the right combo. :thumb: 11/2 x what? Can't tell by the pic.
Thanks,

I think those MAY be model year specific. I was told my 2013 requires the 3157 version of the bulbs... am I wrong?
