Here are some updates on the truck. I added window tint, towing mirrors, nerf bars, new grill, fog lights, black headlights, black taillights, smoked LED third brake light, and of course racks for the kayaks. I do have new rims, just waiting on the tires to get them installed.

Great but, the box decal and rubber between the doors make it look longer than it is.

Thanks! Yes it does feel good to get rid of the mirrors. I was really surprised on how tough and how much bigger they are, I really didn't expect much for less than $200 for the pair.

Where'd you get them for less than $200? I was actually looking at the older pictures thinking "That's a pretty good looking truck, but those damn mirrors . . . " scroll down a bit "bam, new mirrors"

Ope nevermind, it's probably cause the mirrors are manual that they were less expensive, right?

Lol. I hated those mirrors. I got the new ones off of ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/130968792442...84.m1439.l2649
Yea they are manual. I did find them on here that are powered for just over $200. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dual-Arm-Tow...1ba5da&vxp=mtr

That ain't bad. I think the OEMs are $340 a set.

Are those medical/paramedic type things on the bed stripes?
