My 21 2500 Limited Mega lifted 6” on 22” rims and 37s

Very impressive , A wonderful example of what hard work and a good education can get you in America ! Never be envious of those that succeed through work and determination. ..Just be thankful that we live in a country where all have the possibility of reaching their goals and dreams .
 
Yeah, I look at that and think there are 3 ways to get there. Intelligently aimed hard work, born rich, or straight up dumb luck.
 
Sometimes I think I made the wrong career choice. Seeing these pics reinforces that!

Then again, I get 10mpg and I don’t know what a gallon of gas costs, so I guess I’m doing ok.

Excellent garage, doc.

What are the edged black mats you’re using under the cars? I’d love something like that to keep my garage clean (once I decide to have a house again that is).
 
I didn't even read that. Well... It is what it is...

Thank you for the positive comments.

We live in the greatest country in the world and many people are taking that for granted unfortunately. I have had the opportunity to live and travel the world and nothing compares to our great country.

Those black containment mats can be ordered from Costco. They are great to catch salt mud, brake fluid, oil etc. Very durable.

Wait till they go on sale as they do a couple times a year I noticed. Usually around spring/fall.

I haven’t had one rip yet.

Added a Retrax Pro, the aluminum version.

Have used soft toppers in the past and they have been great, but this past winter I got tired a removing before heavy snow and by the time I got to it, frame had bent. It was 10 years old and still worked great.

I was going to go with the power version of Retrax Pro, but the shop I bought it from said they have had a few problems with the Power version, but did say Retrax was great with warranty repairs.

So, I bought the manual version. Fit/finish is great. Supposedly, there are some online vendors where you can get it cheaper online than the Retrax website, but I bought mine from my local truck upfitter/Line-X shop. I try to support the local businesses, cost the same and they installed it.

Also, had VALUGARD sprayed underneath for the corrosion prevention. I used to use FluidFilm and still do on my machines etc, but it’s a mess spraying under the truck. And drips everywhere.

Have been using Valugard last couple of years and happy with the results. Does smell like oil for a couple of days. But, I like the smell of gas and oil, lol.

Truck and the rest of the fleet look incredible. Well done!

Were you aware you can get black hardware for the flares? ( or paint...I have done both) On a completely black truck like yours, it would look great.

Thanks. Didn’t think of that until you pointed it out. Now, that’s all I see when I look at my truck, lol. May have to get the bolts painted/ replaced....
 
I did the same thing on my last truck. Amazing what a small detail like that does to tie it all in together. I painted the first set and they lasted about two years, second set I bought powder coated on eBay.
