I think that about it for now. Completion is schedule for September. On the road now and I love driving the truck, will love it more later this week when the P/S is installed.
Footnote: The Line-X product is incredible!! Prior to the application, my bed was a rusty (surface) mess with many dings and deep scratches. All of them gone except for on in the bed floor. This stuff is applied at 155 degrees and it looks and will hold up great!
Here are a few pics right after the bedliner was applied.
