What Did You Do To Your 2ND GEN RAM Today?
Went junkin' with cntry_prernnr and got a nice tailgate for $39, with good paint, bedliner, and lettering intact. It looks great, and more importantly, operates flawlessly.

Now you need to spray bedliner in truck to make it match! Good buy. Tailgate looks good!
Just kiddin, thanks for the complement. Most of you regulars know I want to copy Dlyter's bedliner plan, but it just hasn't happened yet...

Tailgate looks great man! Even look's like the red matches your truck pretty good, I can't tell a difference through pictures.....
^^^ Thankfully, when it was re-sprayed from dark green (think Zman) to red, I'm pretty sure they used the same red Dodge did. It is slightly brighter, but I think the truck I got it from spent a lot of time in a garage. Unfortunately it wasn't a long bed... I would've liked to just take the whole thing...

If I can get through all the extra work you made me do by striping and such, maybe next weekend.
Between that and finding other little defects that I have ben sanding and buffing back down....
Primed black grill today. Bumper next.
