    Looking to finish my sleeping platform

    and the way it is installed in my Suburban, it would be a pain in the butt to remove it to paint it or use roll on bed liner. My question is, is it safe to use either black crinkle finish spray paint or spray can bed liner while it's in my truck? How long should I let it air out before I drive it?

    Winch cable for fullsize trucks.... synthetic vs steel...does it matter?

    I remember when synthetic winch cables first came out, people were saying not to use them on big heavy full size trucks. Does that still matter now? Have they been proven to work on well on full size trucks? Was it ever really a problem?
