Seeing my bed was laying back on the truck for the time being, I figured we might fit the side panels.
Just to see how it lines up etc., so here’s the right side fitted
Left side
Pretty stoked about the alignment, even though it says “made in Taiwan” on the box
Only the right panel had a ding in it, right at the bottom end below the tail light.
This caused the tailgate hinge not to fit correctly and I had to remove some material to get it in.
Strangely enough the left side hinge also wouldn’t go in without a fight.
On that right side I even had to cut away more because even the bolt got caught behind the edge.
Still needs some alignment, but it’s in
Now I’m going to make my own bumper, have some ideas so I’ll put something together and see if it turns out as good as it looks in my mind .
those propane tanks sticking out at the bottom are really ugly
