I removed the wheels, cleaned them and applied Gtechniq Wheel Armor ceramic coating. I wasn't too impressed with the quality of the factory paint on the wheels, but you can't really see them when mounted, I guess.

I used Duplicolor Clear Bedliner and am very impressed. I got 2 spray cans and a gallon to roll on. Rolling was terrible. Started drying almost instantly and ended up pooling and dripping a little but really isn't noticeable. I wish I had gotten 5 cans for 3 coats to spray. Overall I am happy with the result.
Is this a color coded SIBL, or did I miss something? Sometimes my eyes p-lay tricks o-n me.

Finished my switch panel this weekend and it drops right into the console. It's heavy enough that I don't think I'll need to attach it. The only thing I'll need to do is drill a small hole that can later be covered by the silicone tray if it ever gets taken out. Just need to run the eleven wires through the console and then the firewall. Luckily there is a nice oval plug to go through above the brake pedal.
Next, I'm waiting on parts to assemble a relay block with 5 20 amp relays for the lighting circuits and an 80 amp relay to cut off all the power when I shut the vehicle down.
My plan for lighting circuits is 1: running lights, front sides and rear, 2: front fog, 3: rear fog, 4: underbody and 5: front flood. Also I'm going to put running and turn signals in the fender badge and turn lights on the rear of the cab. I'm really liking the lights from Extreme Tactical Dynamics.

Duplicolor Clear Bed liner. Spray cans work best. I would say 5 cans would give 3 coats for a Maverick.
