Replaced the passenger side door without much hassle only cost me 900 bucks for a used fricken door. Wire harness was different from it being off a different year so I had to rewrite the new door with the old door harness which was a pain but not too bad. Now looking for a year door and not having much luck. Oh we'll a lot less noticeable now. Had left over camp wrap so I got that back in also.

Last Monday I went and got my exhaust done finally. We dropped the muffler and dialed it from where the pipe went into the muffler and ran it out behind my rear passenger tire flush with the body like the raptors come with.

It's loud as he'll at start up and acceleration around town but sounds very aggressive and sweet. It has a nice low rumble at highway speed though. I may install a magnaflow muffler or something to tone it down some.
We'll see how long until I get pulled over.

Threw in a couple pics of it soon work and all shined up. That lasted about 3 days this spring.

I want to paint my door handles. How did you take them off? Do you have to remove the door panel?

So my amp quit working a while back so I just took the sub out. Today I was bored so I wanted to see why my amp quit. Found out I wasn't getting any power to the amp. Inline fuse was good. Pulled my trim apart and found a big pile of foamy blue stuff. The line got cut somehow and corroded the wire away completely to the pint there was no connection there. Fixed now. Just a heads up to be careful for.
