Works for me. I will be putting on the bedsides here really soon and I will send you a couple.

Did some prep work on the bed rails to get ready to install my FiberWerx bed sides. Had to take off the bed liner off the rails so I can see where the pinch welds are at. Not to sure which route I am going to go yet, I will either use a cutting wheel and cut the metal sides off or use a pinch weld cutter to take them off.

Did some prep work to get ready to put on my FiberWerx bedsides. Tomorrow or Sunday I will drill out the pinch welds and put the baja fiberglass bedsides on.

Good luck to you! Looks like it will be a very involved job, but I can't wait to see your pics. I assume you are going to take care of any rust from the inside that you see while in there?

Well it took all day but got the bedsides on with the help of 2 friends. I will say this if anyone is going to do fiberglass bedsides or fenders take you time and measure a lot. A dremel with a cutting bit.

I will get better pictures tomorrow for everyone.

That look great, good work

My front fenders should arrive before the end of the month, I went flat bed out back. Not sure which would of took longer. Hoping it all looks good together.

That looks like a lot of work for sure. How did the bed sides attach? Epoxy?

I used self tapping sheetmetal screws with washers. Also used the tailgate hardware as well.

Here are some daytime pictures.

Got the bedside braces on today. Just picked up 2 48"x3/4"x1/8" flat steel from the reinforcement area of Home Depot. Now just need to finish the tail gate area and she will be done.

I was driving yesterday and did some research about my speed and RPMs. I was told that the truck had 4.10 gears and I am running 37x13.5x17 tires, something was not adding up so I pulled my differential covers and I actually have stock 3.73 gears. I will run 4-6 psi at 1500 rpms, 13-14 psi at 2000 rpms and once I hit 2500 rpms I will just to around 30-35+ psi. So I am going to go to 4.30 gears here really soon. It will put me about 30 rpms lower than when the truck was on stock gears and wheel and tires.

You’ll be impressed with the nitro 4:30, very high quality set of gears. They have survived with my 900 ft lbs of torque and 37inch tires towing 10k.

Thank you for the post, I was not sure how they would hold up to the stress of the power on and off road. Where did you get yours from?

I buy all my stuff from 3 vendors it seams like, genos garage, CJC off road and diesel power products, that said the gears came from diesel power products. Be aware the gears are larger than your stock gears the and ring gear may hit on the dipstick on a mag hytec diff cover if you got one.

In my opinion, after talking to allot of people and running various brands of gear sets, I feel the nitro gears are the best. You won’t be disappointed.

Nice. Also I get all my suspension parts from CJC, for other parts I get my diesel performance parts from a certain person lol. I have a stock diff cover after reading and seeing videos that Banks made about diff covers. Wonder if I will need a new diff cover with the Nitro gears.
