Once you start fixing perceived factory flaws, it's hard to know how far to go down that rabbit hole. This will be one of the most customized trucks on the road, but your approach doesn't appear to include custom, for the sake of custom. Adaptation and installation of parts, requiring some custom work, but for the purpose of function. Not trying to state what your actual plan is, but that is my impression of the build. Makes it different, and it's something I really am enjoying.

it's funny you mention going down the rabbit hole. As I get to the finishing side of updates, you'll see alot of attention was placed in making things look original and OEM. For this build, I think the truck is super cool as-is. So any changes I make to the body/interior and such are just to enhance what is already there or add features it didn't have before, but could be plausible and sold in a way they don't stick out. It's about layering details of custom and OEM and finishing things out so when you step back and look at it- it looks like you didn't do anything.
The best comment I received so far was a guy was shocked I found such a clean original truck and put a lift kit on it.
At first pass he had no clue the amount of modification. This was what I wanted.
