Told them to leave the step bars off for now.

Referred them to napa for lug nuts for all of $1.50 each.

Hoping they bust ass on it and get it done by Friday.

[usaf2006]

Can't wait!!!

 

[Johnnymac2k6]

Just passing on what the girl sent me this time. I haven't been back out in a week or so.

Believe me, once its done, i'll have plenty of pics

I think i have to install the bumper myself, partially b/c they are scared of cutting off the bumper mounts from the frame rails, and partially because i just need it back and can't wait any longer. I'll make sure to post what BS i get into hanging that.

I may also take it to linex and have them do the bottom of the doors inside and out, as well as spray the roof around the third brake light where i have a little dent (something else i told them to pass over in the name of getting it back before it needs historical plates)

Haha nice. What brand spacers did you get again?

Ebay 2" hub centric specials actually turned out to be really good quality with grade 8 studs, and nice an tight on the hub.

(page 4 of the thread)
I see they raised the price though, and are currently out of them

Looking good! Can't wait to see more pics! The 4th gen tailgate, did you do the side modification so it lines better or leave it normal?

they didn't modify the tailgate itself. I could have had them tap the sides flat, but its taking so long i told them to not worry about it. being the fiberwerx bedsides are a little thicker/fatter, it may not be too bad of a gap. guess we'll see

Had to try a 2nd set of lugnuts, as the new wheels swallow up the first aftermarket set we tried... hopefully these skinny spline drives are the ticket.

More pics but progress is moving very slowly...
Should I hammer this seam flat...or trim it? The shop is hesitant to cut the pinch seam, but these are pretty close to rubbing

 

[usaf2006]

I'd say hammer it. I'm surprised it's that close. How is it without the wheel spacers?

 

[Johnnymac2k6]

Few more of primer and guidecoat...parts I thought were painted already...
