Re: off it goes
Jim, I pushed the tail light reflector tabs in just a bit. Tightens up the gaps a bunch

Re: off it goes
we did a lot work to the track, actually removed the rollers from the the piece windows and repositioned them to slide in the track and not bind. did a ton of metal work to both sides of the door so it's all straight now and actually did a little metal work on the curve of the window opening as well. it was a lot of work but the windows roll up down better than ever.

Re: off it goes
Jim why couldn't you raise the bracket up a bit, so the plate is flush with the bottom of the bumper?

Re: off it goes
that's a cool idea but it would probably tuck some plate up behind the bumper, I'm just that guy if it needs to be on there I want to see it all or not at all. we have already trimmed the the black inner plate section down to the exact same size as the plate and rounded the corners to match the plate. That way you shouldn't see too much of it when we're done

Gotcha, buried the plate on my roll pan and notched the rear bed sill, and unless you're 20' back you can't read the state on the top part.

Re: off it goes
When you removed the bracket on the firewall for the steering and brakes, did you do anything inside the cab to reinforce it?
