    Anyone here tried pulling bedsides rather than running fiberglass?

    I'm wanting to match the flair/rise of my trailer products fenders, which is less than any bedside available out there.

    Any reputable body shop should be able to do it. Sarah at All-Pro had it done on her truck and it looks really good. :cool:

    Sarah from All Pro pulled her bedsides (white double cab) to match the AP front fenders. Looks pretty good, but she said they could only get like 1" - 1.5"

    I asked for the contact info for the guy that did it, but never heard back

    EDIT: damn I was too slow

    Sweet. Think I'll go for it, but I'm thinking about trying it myself.

    Anyone else for a fuel level sensor?
    I have a couple probably's.
    Heres the deal.
    5 bolt SAE sensor to fit in a FIA tank.
    Any length
    Calibrated for 1st gen fuel gauge
    I want to split up the setup fee. Theres a one-time charge of $60 to configure their machines to produce this ohm range, once its setup then they can make as many as they want.
    Toyota said 3-110 ohms and I measured 7-115 on my stock tank sensor, so I was going to request 5-110 ohms for the sensor.
    Let me know if you want to help set this up.

    I don't have any experience with this type of stuff, but it seems like basic sheet metal work, maybe try on some flat sheets first before diving right in. :cool:

    I figure I might as well try it, worst case scenario I screw them up and buy fiberglass like I originally planned to.

    Goal is to clear 35's with SUA.

    Metal? Yes. Draw a line and go nice a slow with a angle grinder.

    Fiberglass I don't know, no experience with cutting it :cool:

    For sure, especially since I want to run 1.5'' wheel spacers to even up the track width.
