Excellent work! However, would it have been cheaper to buy an RT or sport from the factory?

Like what you did with the truck, its now a $45000.00 truck! I am doing the same with mine am about one year into the mods right now. Do you have the part number for the Katskins? Also where did you get the parts needed for the Keyless Go system?

You don't happen to know what it cost to add the power back window .I have a regular cab Sport with the manual slider,the power version intrigues me,lol. Would you be interested in doing a write-up on installing it,and what all you did for wiring etc.
Bought slider on eBay new comes with motor had to buy plug for wiring motor from dealer bought over head console on Craigslist plug on console has five wires power little wire goes to litchi switch for interior lights one ground other 2 go to motor for slider it’s really easy to do had glass shop come to house they pulled old out put new in for 90 dollars

I salute your mechanical and electrical abilities, along with your ambitiousness and creativity!
Almost all of what you did requires significant modifications or changes to the electrical/electronics system of the vehicle, as well as exceptional mechanical abilities.
Where did you access the wiring diagrams information to accomplish the adding of all of your upgrades? The modifications that you have incorporated requires much more than just intuition.
I've got a '16 with power folding mirrors, and I am in the process of incorporating an auto-close feature when the door locks are activated...all I need is a driver's door wiring diagram...any suggestions?
Also, my rear sliding window is wired so that it does not follow the direction that the switch is moved, and I want to reverse the wires. Is there an easy way to pop out the switch so that I can accomplish that?

A lot of the upgrades came with instructions switch just pops out or you can change the wires at the motor wires will come out of the plug you just have to know how which is hard to explain
