Which is why I posted the photos. And I left out a lot of detailed photos like making the flanges for the lights, or mounts for them or the grill, trimming the grill to fit. Mounting LED lights under the tailgate for the license plate, etc.

Absolutely, already have a custom bridge designed and going to notch the bedfloor with a fully smoothed bed. But it won't be anytime soon. In the past year I dumped $10k into my house so I didn't get to order the my wheels and tires yet even.

I have one somewhere from my cell phone when it happened. I'll have to look for it when I get home later. I rearended a Grand Am at about 10mph. I didn't even damage the Grand Am, just needed some paint work for scuffs. My truck on the other hand... bent bumper, dented radiator support, bent hood release support, broke my headlight bracketsm grill, bent the hood and fender, an dwrecked the bumper cover...

First the parts to replace the damaged stuff from my accident. New grill, headlight, and a busted custom bumper cover. Also have a 5th generation GA dash and center console. Sunfire bucket seats, sunroof from a Mazda minivan, power windows froma Blazer, and vent wing windows from a caravan. Also have but not shown are tailgate gas shock, hood struts, custom HVAC knobs, 10" Kenwood subwoofer, Orion amplifier, and a DVD player (this might be replaced with a slide out headunit).
