Nice I like the rack. Thats pretty sweet how it goes under the sides of the toolbox. Do you have problems with the lights between the bumper and tailgate being in the way when you open the tailgate? I recently installed some on mine and I cant open the tailgate without hitting the lights. Yours look like the same lights I used, I think maybe my tailgate or hinges are bent is the reason they hit. I cant move the lights any so that the tailgate clears, if I do the lights will not be visible.

NO NO NO!!!! hahaha all the dings, dents and scratches are from the previous owner. apparently... someone had jacked up the tongue on a bobcat trailer and slammed into it... Um ok , had to be lifted up pretty high to do that! But for what I paid for the truck, it could have been missing a tailgate and bed and I still would have bought it!

97HD, Yea they do look awful similar, mine clear just barely, maybe 1/16" thats about it.

Never use plastic "STICK ON" tint. Especially on side windows, it can wreck the roll up mechanism if it jams.

Either blow the bucks for colored glass, or skip it. Doing it the wrong way looks like crap eventually, and may ruin the window registers.
