your fawking crazy.....

though with road duty being the goal...it may be a wise investment to keep it looking good.....




i was crying over 70 dollars to give mine a whore bath... but spending all that time to do a nice prep job does justify the paint.

^ Yup. There is no aftermarket support for bricknose trucks. Only thing she'll be getting is LED plug and plays and clear corner lenses from AFT (where you got yours)

Only slightly?

Only slightly lol

Perfect. IMO. I love no amber, but I hate crystal clear (non fluted) lenses. Should look top notch

Same here. It's those subtle touches that really set off a vehicle.

Got the doors, windows, & interior put back together. Installed my new to me 40/20/40 seats, and put the tailgate together.

My entire body aches from sanding haha. I had 8 hours in sanding down the primer and countless hours getting the truck ready with the body work. Well worth it. And thank you. I love the color as well.

One step closer. Just waiting on my bumper, mirrors, window trim pieces, and bedliner

Mirrors came today. Bought some tie downs as well.
