Nice.. Except for one thing.. The access cab part..

 

HAHA!
Was just thinking of saying how you should get some sliders now;
Then saw the last picture

Looking good!
Love the bottle opener. HA!

 

Wanted a 4 door, but couldn't find any with a good price. Just me and my girl and the access cab is doing good. Haha

 

Just need a welder. Friends are lagging. haha
Thanks!

 

Looks awesome.

 

I recently bought a bottle opener to put in the exact same place! Is there any wiring or anything under that panel I should know about before drilling into it?

 

Nice taco But it is missing something

 

You're going to have to take off the driver side brake light. Then it is just sheet metal where you're going to mount bottle opener. Put the bottle opener there and make the marks where you're going to drill. then just put some nuts behind it. Solid as can be. Used a few times when I was washing the truck or adding mods. Haha I always get compliments on it too.

 

Looks great man! It's a clean build

 

what was your process for relocating the trailer harness? mine looks like yours did before you relocated it

 

Here is my write up: just use a smaller grinder for a better hole. I just did mine with the tools I had at home and winged it.

Nice truck

 

I like. Been thinking about relocating the trailer harness as well.

 

Not a fan of pnp hid headlights, do it right instead of blinding others jerk.

Otherwise diggin it!

 

Great looking truck. It's amazing how much more proportional the AC trucks look compared to DCSB.

 

Just looked up what you said. No idea about it. Just knew about HIDs. They work great otherwise.

 

Yea. Buddy left his bent then ended up ripping wires and now needs to replace and the wiring. If you move it then you'll be safe.

 

You have a great looking truck.
