[MENTION=82469]mikegmang[/MENTION] IIRC, did you bring that black extended cab with the King Ranch seats back to life? I remember a truck that looked as though it was destined for the junk yard that someone made new again.

Anyway, whether it is or it isn't, your work looks great.

Sorry to hear about all the hate you get, but keep at it.

That black ext cab was nasty as hell when I bought it. I re did the whole interior n ext. Probably the same one your thinking of. Appreciate it

I am not a huge fan of fiberglass , especially in body kits. But I would love a complete kit for the suspension , stance and even rims and tires WITH warranty. I don't plan on cruising dunes at 60mph but I like the aggressive stance and the ability to climb a curb or some rocks at speed every now and then. The key would be Tiered kits for suspension , body , and performance tuning separately for me.

The fiberglass is actually pretty solid compared to body kits. Once I add primer it gets a little thicker. Easier on dents too. This aluminum body dents easy

No doubt but I meant it from a safety perspective and crumple zones. I have no hate in fiber body kits whatsoever , but I have my kids in my truck also at times and prefer to know how it reacts to crash tests . I know the safety cage is not part of the aluminum but at the same time fiberglass doesn't have the same tensile , puncture or impact resistance.

Just to be clear, not knocking the package at all. I actually would love for a raptor kit on my ride if I didn't have the kids in it lol.
