Bedsides got delivered today and got mocked up. Will need to drag the saw out and do some trimming.

really like the way the wheels line up right under that outer fender lip.

measured today I am ground to bottom of fender well
Rear: 46”
Front: 47.5”

thinking about bringing the rear up the difference but the truck is sitting at a perfect level right now. But the front gap between tire and fender is def more noticeable up front. But a slight rake might look nice too...we’ll see


and I have a full outside to outside tire track width of 96”...

Deep sober breaths when cutting new fiberglass haha. Getting the dovetail cut back in today.

I’m sure to each there own, but damn I love the dovetail...

And time to cut some more. I went with +2 fenders and bedsides knowing I’d have to cut to fit the 39s. I didn’t want to go all the way to +4 so this is what it takes...

Took the truck for its first on road drive. Total of 1.6mi to go get a burger since my wife is out with the other car.

The second I park and walk up to the burger spot a guy goes “...damn someone stole your door handles and your bumpers...” haha


And so I have decided no more road tests until she’s done. Can let me see her like this lol


But a worthy reward for the work so far....
