Raining bedliner …

It was raining pretty hard when I was about to leave home this morning but then it’s stopped. It was a very pleasant ride in, I shed my rain coat to avoid getting dripped in sweat like I was when I rode in last week. It was a nice ride in, maybe though I was listening to the radio a bit too loud but things very noise level as I leave home then ride along and under the interstate highway. With the tires installed properly, and the new tire on the back, I have a pretty solid ride, and since topping off the front brake, it stops well, though maybe I could use some BrakeKleen on the front rotator to stop the squeal. I think without the freezing weather, I shouldn’t have the air bubble issues I always have in the winter.

So I called and am having the spray-in bed-liner put in my truck next Friday. I was glad they were able to get me in right away, and the price is definitely reasonable. I will confirm the details about them properly masking the bed lights and pulling other hardware before spraying when I get there but the reviews of the place are good, so I think it will be good. I just want the protection of a bedliner before the camper shell goes on my rig. I worried they couldn’t get it done before May, but that’s silly – I still have the panademic-era mindset of everything being back ordered. Then it’s just waiting for the truck cap.

This weekend after Mom and Dad’s anniversary party in Coeymans, I am going to stop at Lowes and get a longer M7 bolt to mount the CB radio to the top of the dash. I have the mounting bracket from the old truck, I might need to drill another hole in the bracket but the M7 bolts on the center console that hold the center speaker on the fancy SuperDuty trucks mount to a bracket that is tied to firewall, and can more then hold a radio without interfering with the airbag. I check the radio is still low enough that it doesn’t impact the view out of the windshield much but puts the CB radio up high where it is easy to interact with.
