I've spent the last several weekends shaving everything. Tailgate, antenna hole and even door handles. Would like to see pictures of others who have done similar. I'm having trouble uploading from my gallery keeps telling me file to large? Idk

Email yourself the picture and resize the file... It means he got rid of the badges, door handles, etc. All smooth, no holes. Just. Clean. Paint.

I decided to leave my door handles on this truck and the tailgate handle is tucked away so well on this gen I didn't see much need to relocate and shave it; it helps mine's a black truck with a black handle. When I go all green then I'll see how it looks. I shaved the antenna on this truck but my '07 got everything but the handles which ended up with billet handles.

Any plans on shaving the fuel door? I have that on my to-do if/when I swap in a fuel cell.

I actually gave up on my antenna, I was probably running the same ****** window antenna you are but with my sound system all running through off my phone through the factory head unit and MS8 I just use a radio player App if I want radio for traffic, etc.

I see you kept the handle for the tailgate but just shaved the emblem cutout. I went a different route for mine and got an airbrushed emblem made. I like the clean lines on yours but I wouldn't give up my emblem for the world now.

Any plans for a rollpan? I've never seen a shaved truck with a bumper, it looks ... odd, lol.

I've got a 4" lift and off road bumpers planned haha it currently has just a leveling kit im not traditional at all love alot of the mini truck scene but 4×4 means lifted and bumpers. Also living in Michigan means snow and at some point someone will rear end me and I'd much rather leave them with a towhook in their radamd minor damage to my ass. I've kept my emblem up front just dulled it down and painted background love that green ram of yours btw.

When shaving your tail gate, did you just weld holes on ram badge and bondo glass or cut emblem out and weld in all new metal?
