Dovetail beside

[MeFryRice]

I searched the forum and YouTube and didn’t see anyone that has dovetailed their bedside on a Gen 3 - plenty of threads for the Gen 1 though. I’ve installed the SVC dovetail rear bumper and need to trim the bedside. I’m contemplating doing it myself before commissioning a body shop to do it for me. Has anyone done this to their Gen3 and happened to document the process?

I bought an air saw, multiple blades, masking tape and markers to make the line. Just looking for photos from other people to help boost my confidence before I make that first cut.

TIA,

Steve

SVC should have measurements. You can talk with them before you cut.

What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

They came with the Decked system. I always planned to do the cap so haven't even considered it without the cap. No I have not seen that but would like to if you have a link or something. You can see it at the beginning of this video.

@CigarPundit and I are close. We don't mind making that cut

RPG Gen3 Rear bumper

Just wrapping up the install of a RPG rear bumper on my gen 3. I am by no means a professional mechanic, although I do like to do as much of the mods on my truck myself. Huge shout out to @Johnny@Apollo-Optics for help with ordering, and answering my random install questions. First step I did...
