    As of right now, nothing big. Tires, wheels, and skid plates are next for the truck. Tires and wheels seem like more of a possiblity since there are some rather good deals here and there.

    Me and some dudes are planning a get together to make some skids (presto and scrunner so far). I have a lincoln 225 arc welder that I'm hooking up in a few weeks, so might be a few months for me to figure it out, and execute on skids. Plenty of Time for you to get wheels and tires first :) lmk if you are interested in joining.

    I might be interested in that. I don't know exactly what I'm going to be doing for skids, but get a general premise would be a fantastic start. Do keep me informed!

    Hey man i was just wondering if there is anything special i need to look for or do when doing the relentless front DIY? How do you adjust the gab between bumper and body of truck? How much of a gap did you go with? Thanks!

    There's nothing to the Relentless Front Bumper. It's just as simple as it gets. For gaps, I would make sure that the gaps in between pieces are as small as possible. I found it easier to well then. Hope that helps, and sorry for a super late response.

    What did you use to paint them? I've thought about doing it, but I'm afraid paint might crack when the plastic flexes

    I used Rustoleum Bed Liner. Since it's bed liner it's super strong.

    Thanks!

    Still super happy how they look now... Complete night and day difference!!! :D

    Also the debadging of my truck happened...

    Not really as noticeable when the swingout is closed...

    Anyways... I'm SUPER happy with the way the truck is starting to look... I just need some new rubbers sooner or later...

    At this point not many things to do to the aesthetics of the truck... Might get rid of the TRD sticker and repaint mirror housings, but that's about it... Again, super pleased with the transformation of the fender flares!

    Those do look good! Did you have to buy new plastic clip?

    Oh yea... I replaced every single clip... I think every other one broken and then the rubber trimming on the rear fender flares just didn't want to stay glued on. I only replaced the rear trimming, but I was always thinking about replacing the front as well...

    I don't blame you... I tried so hard to not break any of mine and it just wouldn't work... Did any of the rubber trim come off your fender flares?

    Yeah, I tried saving the clips but gave up after the first flare. People were looking at my like I was crazy because it sounded like I was ripping apart my truck.

    The rubber trim tried falling off, but I just set it back in place when I put them back on. Has stayed so far.
