knever3 Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 Getting the itch to pull it out of the garage this spring. I foresee no more salt on the roads so on Monday it will get full insurance on it again. I had big plans on replacing all weather seals on the windows and putting new door speakers in. I am going with 6.5" speakers so I have a spare door to play around with to get it right the first time. I have two amps and a 12" sub to build a box for. Nothing got done this winter as usual. I never have enough time to complete anything having a family now. Not that I would trade anything, but I would like to get it done this spring.

knever3 Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 Sometimes I miss the brush guard that came with the truck, and for some reason I liked the gray wheels a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 these trucks are like legos. as long as you have a place to stash the extra parts, you can mix and match with how you feel that day. I currently have 4 different sets of rims/tires for my MJ trailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knever3 Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 Got a deal on something I've been looking for.Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knever3 Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 Finally broke down and bought new tires, boy what a nice surprise it rides much better! Also found out my OE body motor mount brackets were hitting my Brown Dog brackets and transferring vibration. Removed and modified, can't believe I have been dealing with it for 10 years!!Took my son to the tire store and he was so happy playing with old shocks, springs, and collecting Schrader valves he didn't want to leave.Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knever3 Posted September 4, 2021 Author Share Posted September 4, 2021 Extang Solid Fold 2 for a 2005 Chevy Colorado 6' box. It fits incredibly well. The taper isn't exact, but it is probably 1/4" difference and with it centered I won't modify it. I love it. I have a Comanche specific topper as well and I enjoy the look and function of this better. Finding them online can be a challenge. The guy I bought mine from used it for 6 months and put it in the garage when he bought a topper. He helped me put it on my truck and said it fit exactly like his Colorado did.Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk It looks like it fits really well. I am just starting to look into options and really like the downey but dig the idea of the hard cover. Its like installing a big work table on the truck. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knever3 Posted September 4, 2021 Author Share Posted September 4, 2021 I looked at the downy as well, but I didn't want to use snaps or Velcro. This was well worth the $100 I spent for it considering it's at $800 pieceSent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knever3 Posted September 4, 2021 Author Share Posted September 4, 2021 For those of you who are apprehensive and skeptical about fitment, this is how it fits on my truck with the Linex bedliner applied over the rails.Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knever3 Posted November 29 Author Share Posted November 29 Working on a few things again. Headlight switch is touchy, when I wiggle it my interior pillar lights flicker on and off. Radio upgrades in process, steering column still looking. I think I might have to settle for a tilt column. My buddy still watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
