Sweet!! Next time clean it up a little though for the pics.

 

Sure, Run on down to youre locall UPS pickup station and wait for em!

 

Heres what the truck looked like before.

This.


Then this.


And now it looks like this!

 

Looks really good. Those rims look like the ones on the new Tundra. (But i still like them!). I'm thinking i may go with a drop instead of the autospring lift now.

 

It looks good...even though you went with the tiny wheels. I REALLY like the black bumpers...if I wasnt so lazy I would try to find some for mine. If I were you I would loose those bars and get some LT handles though.

 

I'm gonna stick with the bars. Could you tell me how to install the LT handles? Or at least point me in the right direction!

 

1. Take off the door panel.
2. remove 2 nuts on the back of handle through the exposed inner door
3. remove 2 door plugs on end of door and remove two nuts that hold on handle.
4. Tape around where doorhandle is to keep from scratching beatiful black paint with handle studs.
5. Unplug keypad harness and note where the harness on the handle is mounted.
6. The handle will stick to the door. I used the wooden end of a hammer to tap the handle (through the interior of the door) and out away from the exterior of the door.
7. At this point i removed the c clip that holds the lock in the handle.
8. Slowly and carefully twist the handle out to remove the rod from the handle. BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL OF THE STUDS ON THE BACK OF THE HANDLE!

reverse procedure for install. The other doors you will not have to worry about the lock or keypad.

FWIW, i think the Step bars add some protection from door dings and other road debris. I will be keeping my tarnished and scratched ebay bars until i can afford some replacement ones.


In the words of Rob Schneider in every Adam Sandler film, "YOU CAN DOOOO IT!!"

 

looks great..

 

Gobra gave good directions but let me add one thing I did was to put masking tape on the door all around the handle. This will prevent the studs from scratching the door and is cheap insurance...it only takes a minute to put on and MIGHT save a nasty scratch.

Here is a pic of the handles on my truck to give you an idea of how they look:

 

Looks Sharp man! GJ!

 

I thank you both. Definetly on my list of to do's. Theyre already ordered, But I didnt go with the LT's. I went with just the handle's themeselves, Again, I sometimes get reall dirty at work and the plastic crap seems easier to keep clean. I'll still have the chrome handles, But with the stock plastic(Rough) "Pans".

As far as the steps... They are filthy underneath! But my paint isnt! So that tells me they need to stay. Plus with the chrome handles I'll have just enough contrast to set the truck off.

 

I found the complete opposite...the LT smooth painted handles are way easier to kkep clean.

 

Ram, I probably should have put this in bold. I got this tip from you BTW..


Frank,
The Mark LT handles made a BIG improvement in the way my truck looks (and everyone elses that i have seen for that matter). I would do whatever it takes to get rid of that crappy, grainy, unwaxable door buckets. Your truck is WAY TO SWEET to leave the stock buckets on.

My dad liked mine so much, he bought the painted ones for his F250.
Trust me and RAM on this one

 

I like the clean simplicity

 

I agree very clean, keep it simple, you know the truck you cann't stop looking at trying to figure out what make that truck look so cool.
