I ground out the bottoms of my doors. It was close to needing skins but I just bedlined it until I could get new doors and then sprayed it down with wool wax.

Smart, get you a extra couple years before you have to spend the money on new parts

I see people doing the 11-16 front end conversions, don’t get me wrong I love the 11-16 but a proper built 1999-2007 looks amazing

You do a great job. Do it the way you want too Don’t listen to anyone else. Your trucks always turn out great. I’m sure this one will too

Respectable, just dropped a 14 min one!

can you try to make a video on doing the wiring on the tow mirrors when you reinstall them?

Absolutely man, if you want a quick guide for now here is how I did it: Power source: brown wire on back of headlight switch Grounded to each door pannel On the mirror the black wire is ground and the blue wire is power to the running light! Hope this helps

I'd go ahead and do the 08+ rear spring hangers while the bed was off and everything eas easy to get to. The axles aren't actually centered on the springs on these trucks, iirc they're about 8" off center. The +08 hangers and leafs fix that. The 08+ rear leafs are longer.

The headlights, led bulbs, and conversion harness for them were all ebay specials. The header panel grille and bumper were marketplace finds

Tbh I just got done tonight with rockers on mine and I promised myself im never doing another set, too much dirty hard long work. Ive done easily 10-15 sets they arent worth it much nicer doing collision on newer cars. Im sure you could find an independent body shop in your area that can fix yours tho
