I’ve been tossing the idea around for a while now and really glad I did it.
Oh great! Any tips if that is my situation? I guess I’m about to find out.

Wrap your knuckles in tape. What a pain that first bolt

Drill the back two and bolt in then take the bumper off, notch the frame and install the front. Then reinstall the bumper. Seems like a lot of work but I’m sure it will be quickest.

Yeah I need to get an air filter after the NY21 run. I've never changed my cabin filters and probably should. I wonder if there is even one in there. As I recall some people said there wasn't one in there from the factory. Its always a dust bath when I fire it up to high...haha.

Put a new sticker on my King resi that has been missing one. My OCD can finally rest until the next thing comes up. Thanks again HighwayTrout.

Installed some rocker armor today, super nervous drilling holes in the body after hearing some of the horror stories people have had with nutserts striping, spinning, or not lining up. Just took my time and chipped away at it.
Still need to paint the rockers
After all the stories about these things spinning in the hole I decided to glue them in with some sleeve retainer
This tool I got from the recommended parts section here on Wayalife made all the difference, it paid for itself today

Nice, having that tool really makes it easier. I never heard of sleeve retainer and always used RVT, but good to know there is another option. Looking Good!

When I changed my rear axle shafts I used that on the bearing race because on the one side I could take the old outer race in and out by hand. I assumed it shouldn’t be spinning in there

We will see how the sleeve retainer does, I believe it takes a while to dry and set up
RTV is probably good for sealing the hole against water getting in but probably wont offer much to keep the nutsert from spinning in the hole. Sleeve retainer is like loc-tite for slip & press fit parts, it will absolutely glue a slip fit pin into another part. My dad accidently used some for a nut on an alternator a few years back, we had to split the nut in two spots and chisel it off...

Caught the Bug
Got the headers back from the Cerakote shop, and the guys installed Wilwood electric E brakes. I had one of those Estop brake systems which worked great until the long-arm suspension. The cables had to be so long there was too much slack for the Estop tensioner to pull enough to set the brakes. Still a very good system if anyone is considering it. We went electric because of the cable slack.
Here's some pictures of the headers.
