    Been eyeing those McNeils fenders. They look killer on your truck! How’d you get the bumper caps to line up with the McNeils? I really like the OEM look with the stock bumper.

    I just don’t like the way it feels. Transmission and engine feel extremely sluggish compared to the 2nd gen

    You can just drill a hole through the bumper cap and the fenders and bolt them together so that the caps match the McNeil's. The body washer is on the sides to just hold the caps on since they have been chopped up. I do plan on using the washers as mounts to attach to the Core support so the bumper is a bit more rigid in the long run.

    I know weird part is they were every branch of the military and he wasn’t in the military. I’m all for the armed forces but as I’m not a vet I didn’t feel right keeping them.

    Removed back panels in my DC waiting for subs to be delivered today. Hopefully not to late as I want to finish the install.

    Rotated the tires and installed a 3rd gen tailgate skin that was gifted to me. Fit up with no drilling and only have one left over screw.

    Throw some sound deadening back there right now before the subs go in.
    I regret not doing mine. Now I need to remove everything to cover the rear wall...
