I “think” you can swap steering wheels to the 04 style. You might need the whole column though. I think I remember Redtruck-VA did it in his truck, I don’t know how much stuff it required to change out.

Nope, to go to the 04 and up you have to replace the entire steering column, and id assume the same for the 4th gen wheel, and then wiring would be the next question

It looks meaner with the black cap, but cleaner with the red one.

And dude. How can I successfully paint match my chrome stuff? Is there a way to de-chrome it first?

There really isnt a way to do it, ive known people who go above and beyond to try and remove the chrome, and even their stuff still peeled, something about the chroming process changes the metal some way and makes it not like paint

Here's my grill I have on my truck now before I touched it. This is off eBay, think it was 65 bucks Maybe? Anyway it's bare plastic so ready to go. I also just got a rear bumper that's ready to paint off eBay but it's wrapped up until Christmas lol wife ordered it for me and I may have accidently saw it [emoji23]ba104b2e2ffb758003324c08ed03aa6a.jpg

Sorry man no luck, I must've deleted it. Even checked my old thread on the grill in hopes I plugged the seller but I didn't [emoji58] I did find that it wasn't 65 bucks like I thought it was 90 lol that was in my thread
