I might try the dye, unfortunately the drivers side bottom is just completely gone (has a rip and has another spot fraying like a pair of Carhaart pants). I'm having an issue with finding an OEM bottom cover that isn't stupid expensive. For right now my fix is my butt covers it anyway so I don't see it.

I got a bed liner yesterday and I got my 2008-16 mirrors in today and painted them. I think the parts that I have taped I might try to paint it the same tan as the bottom of the truck.

Those mirrors came off as I couldn't stand my horrible paint job. New mirrors come in tomorrow but I finally got around to putting my leveling kit on.

Before:




After:




The springs seem much bigger than 2.5" side to side on the ground lol.

Those look good. How's the visibility out of them? Are they better than the 08-16? Because I know the 99-07 suck compared to the 08-16 mirrors. That being said do you want to sell the stock mirrors? Lol!

Thank you! The 08-16 I think has the best visibility but I don't think they look right on these trucks. The convex mirror of course is nice and these still have decent visibility but I think it's about the same as the stock ones for the visibility in the main mirror. The '17 style definitely has less visibility but still adequate however if you tow a lot I'd still recommend getting the 08-16.

The old CAC boots were leaking oil so I bought some Riffrff CAC boots.

I remember the days of saying I'd never tune my truck. Somehow this little guy ended up in my possession....
