I got the cure from ruffstuff. My tres are the one ton from ruffstuff. The install was super easy. I can see how they would help with roll.

Frame is done and ready for the body. Washed, removed a rats nest in the frame that i'm guessing was 20+ years old, which took over an hour to remove. Yuck! The frame is very clean inside. I am lucky the nest didn't cause any powder coat issues, it must of been wet enough at the time of the coating or?

I ditched the Bcbroncos throttle linkage for the Duff system. Much more simple and clean.

I bought the egr delete plate off eBay. It came with the throttle cable attachment.

Check with your painter but I have been told that satin is a PITA to touch up down the road. Might be worth looking into if you plan on taking it offload and trying to keep it nice...

The whole panel would have to be repainted, but that isn't a huge deal.

First coat of raptor is down. Came out very nice, I wish it was a little smoother, but oh well. Just need a little more in the nooks- under the rotisserie mounts and it will be ready to go back on the frame.

I did the front wheel wells and it took more then one kit. You can buy single cans off amazon. I ended up buying 2 kits.

I mated the body to the frame today. The 285/70-17 with 2" narrowed rear end clear fine. I might even end up with 1/4-1/2" spacers. Very exciting day.
