    I'm looking to get the rivet style fender flares (Amazon has them for only $140). I was thinking about doing something with the fuel door too but couldn't find anything in the forums. Are there any good fuel door mods? Thanks in advance for any input.

    Put the gashole in!

    Minor problems during installation:
    Recieved short bed version, messaged retailer and got he shipped the right one out same day.
    Stripped the bolt holding the door clamp, grinded the head off, drilled it out, bought new bolt, and installed (was very lucky when drilling, I almost drilled the threads off the welded nut).

    Despite my issues, it is an easy mod and does what it is meant to do. Big shout out to Meso Customs for their fast response time and great customer service.
