Dude, you don't even know. They're cracked up, clear is flaking off of them, and they're rough like sandpaper. Time to go. Today I went out and got an adhesive eraser wheel. They'll be gone soon. and that's a tie down point, it's actually chrome, but you can't tell from the pic. They'll be getting taken off eventually as well. I hate them. They do us no good either.
Better side molding haha they're all ugly

remove door moldings. replace all lights with LEDs (except for headlight bulbs) on the inside and outside of your truck, replace the radio with preferably a double din touch screen for a more sleek modern look. There's other things but I can't name them off the top of my head at the moment.

We definitely could. A show I watch called xtreme offroad did this with a 10th gen a while back and the whole project was based on creating a raptor-killer. You can watch it online on powerblocktv.com if you want.

Thanks for the username change admin!! Appreciate it

I'm really not a fan of PTM bumpers on white. Looks like too much white. I'll probably do the LED's sometime soon. Some new headlight bulbs. Custom tuning is high on the list. I'm going to be hauling around a lot of mowing equipment and mulch here shortly, and my trailer is 1500 pounds to begin with

Yeah I do. Plus all the holes drilled along the bed floor from where the 5th wheel used to be bolted down.

I have those too. Which is why I don't know why they put them outside the bed.
