    After having a blank screen for a couple of years did the temp/compass display fix. Underwhelming results but it is finally done. Please don't judge my fat finger solder job.

    Got the time to re-clear my headlight lenses and picked up this shell second hand. Debating on wrapping it white or leaving it MGM for a bit.

    I am old school so I remember when people had unpainted aluminum shells. I think those colors look good together. MGM sort of fits the blackout trend. If you had a black soft-topper you wouldn't paint it. I say save the paint money, and the prep labor, and put those towards something else.

    You're not wrong. I have been running a softopper for the last 8 or so years. I only snagged this shell because I got it for $400 locally. I don't mind the MGM/dark look on it as it really isn't much of a change from the softopper, I was just thinking color-matching it may change the look up a bit. I wouldn't paint, I would do a semi shitty wrap job in my driveway lol.

    Thanks, you should, it is a pretty easy swap and changes the look of the truck quite a bit

    Thank you, and yes it is bolt on. The holes for the sprayer nozzles need to be enlarged a little bit, but other than that and the hood pins, it bolts right up and fits great

    I got a set of OE headlights. Need to find a paint matched grille and hood, then decide if I want a stock bumper or aftermarket. Just keeping my eyes open for the right parts.
