Buzz110, idk where to find the door panels but I'd leave it. It looks great without. I actually didn't even notice they were missing until u asked.

Put on a rebuilt alternator and gave it a bath.

Replaced the tailgate latch release. One of the license plates 'sockets' was bad. Release comes as one piece in primer. Cost me $121.00 to get it painted and around $100 for the part. The sockets have been upgraded. They secure the bulbs in the center so the contacts don't have to hold the bulb in place, much better. Used LED bulbs.

Picked the stones out of the tires. I was "click" free until I drove across a gravel parking lot...:(

Anyone else notice the the DWS's apparently have a thing for absorbing rocks?!

New upper windshield trim!

Windshield washer fluid really eats away at those guys. New trim really makes the truck look so much younger now.

How hard is it to change? Mine was murdered by stones this winter, I've been putting it off as trim is my least favorite things to do...

Not bad! Dig out the old stuff on the backside and on the glass side and when you roll the metal "c" out, just keep rolling it forward as you go across the windshield. (It will resemble a pig's tail when you remove it) be careful not to break the windshield by just tugging on it.

Clean out the gutter, soapwater (lube) up the new trim and windshield and press it firmly in, one end to the other, inch at a time. :)

$530 for a fucking window regulator. I'm done with the dealer.
