John, gate looks good. I am with you, pan looks sharp but for a daily driver it's hard to justify. Either way it def looks good.

I can imagine. If you ever wanted to tow something, I'm sure it's a pain with a rollpan.

Looks good. I respect everyones wishes but I cant for the life of me understand having a bumper with a shaved gate or a shaved pan without a shaved gate.

I cant let the fact that some retard might hit me, hold my trucks progress back. Just like one member on here shaved the pan and gate, but didnt colormatch his gate cap because he "might" scratch it. I carry a small towel under the rear seat for when I need to lay a 2x4 across my cap. You cant let what "might" happen hold you back, because the next guy is gonna slide past you on the freeway with his done like yours shoulda been done.

Either way, looks good.

Totally agree wit ya. But, yes always a but.. I have had or redid my pan 4 times. Thank god it was never painted, only in black primer. I was hit in the same spot every time I had it ready to paint. So at this point I am totally fed up with the pan.. If I would have had a bumper I would be getting a bumper, not redoing my body work again.. So ya have to see it from my side of things..

I know I'm bringing back up and old thread, but what relocation kit did you use for this? I plan on adding a cowl hood and relocating the tail gate latch come income tax time.
