Curious how you installed the headliner trim without drilling holes?
Truck is looking great

Thanks for the comment. I installed the trim with 3M VHB tape. Same type as the headliner. 1" for the headliner and 1/4" for the trim.

Removed mounting tabs from backside of trim. Installed short screws in the mounting holes, securing with flat clips on backside.

12" long pieces of 1/4" pvc tube were secured to the body just outside the perimeter of headliner using the double stick tape.

Trim is test fit with outer tape not exposed. Adhesive is exposed and trim pressed into place.

I had someone say to me that they would not trust the tape. Yet the vehicle they are driving has all the exterior trim stuck on with tape. Baking in the sun, driving at speed? We use these tapes at the body shop all the time.

Great work on the headliner trim. Where did you source the pvc?
Glad to see you’re getting some help from kitty!

I use the clear acrylic tape a lot of times instead of the foam based. Have things held in place for years with the stuff. Clean surface and press down well.

Wanted to repost this, an awesome idea for attaching molding here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcGBoTphXfc credit- found this in a thread by IT_Cowboy. Will use this method on some of my trim to make alignment easier.

Taking a little break from working under the dash. Picked up the welded air cleaner tube today and fit it. Still need to fabricate the air box, but you get the idea. Made bracket for the PSC reservoir and routed a few hoses. Started the under hood truck wiring. Routing and bundling the harness. Ran an extra 10 gauge wire over to the battery for the auxiliary switched fuse panel I installed under the dash. The under hood ECM harness is about 80% finished.

They are pretty cool, right? I am still full of smiles every time I see what has been accomplished. 30" of coil spring wrapped around those beauty's. 125lb effective initial spring rate with the combined coils. No more bucking bronco driving down the road.
