Items Needed!
I am looking to replace a few parts on the truck, and thought/hoped y'all might be able to point me in the right direction.
2nd Row - Currently is a bench in great condition. Looking for the Captain's chairs to fit an '05 preferably with the black and tan leather as that is what I have now. If someone is interested in a swap or knows where to find one...
Rear Liftgate Shocks - Current set kinda work, looking to replace. Are there better ones? Seems like theses are pretty weak especially in the cold.
Front Grill - Not in terrible shape, but not great. Any suggestions for upgraded looks? Thinking about ending up with either matte black paint and steel accents (grill, bumper, handles, etc) or flat green-Marine Corps Green and matte black accents like the grill.
Thanks everyone!

i replaced my rear lift gate shocks last year; new ones are perfect. Didn’t get anything special- just the first ones that match. Keep in mind that if you have original ones, they’re 15+ years old, so it’s not uncommon for them to be slowly dying on you.

The shocks on mine gave out years ago when my dad still owned it. He never replaced them. He just used an aluminum rod between the locking mechanism and the striker to prop it up. I found a lifetime warranted set at O'reilly's that were made in Mexico. Everything else seems to be made in China.
They were very easy to replace. Makes me wonder why my dad never bothered to fix them.
