Good job buddy, I just bought two lower door patch (one for the left/right side). Not sure when I will get to it. I know that my tailgate has a pretty decent dented in it. Someone tried using those drill and slide hammer tools on it and made a mess. Keep up the good work.

On my 2010 ram, I run a larger/long LED bar on it in the middle, with those smaller LED units like you have. Works awesome.

Thanks buddy, almost done I hope. I keep saying that, but I just need to pull the trigger and wrap up the first phase.

Good luck on the patch kit, I found some buck shot too on my truck from some older body work using the drill and screw job, but we got lucky with the newer technology.

Good luck too on yours, and if you need any parts let me know. If the shipping makes sense you can have whatever I have left over.

Finally got back to the project. Buttoned up the interior today. I still need to stain the console and finish up the carpet.

For the dash pad, I used square nuts instead of the stock fasteners.

Just finished the center console. Still need to do some little tweaks, but it’s a practical addition.

Don’t know if this will help anyone, but had a hell of time pulling off the rusted drum to swap a wheel cylinder. Rented a 7 ton puller from auto zone, but it was too small, but by removing the jaws and putting them on some chain in the garage, I used a jack from my wife’s car to break it loose.
