Nice, looks really good. Now just get the tail lights smoked.
On my rollpan I just cut a little off the lip at the corners at the bottom (inside) and drilled a couple of holes at the bottom so it doesn't collect water or rocks.

To me shaved means you seam the cracks between the bed and roll pan you weld them together? right?

Shaved usually refers to removing tailgate handles, door handles or antenna's and filling them in with metal. I think welding in or filling in the gaps between body pannels is called smoothing out...I might be wrong though.

Congrats man, looks awesome! I want to get mine welded in someday, any reason you went with a bolt in? Probably the same reasons I did initially, just curious.

just too worried about getting rear ended, then having to get it fixed. i was also unsure of if i would like it. still thinking about painting the rear bumper and throwing it on.
the fit is so good on this that im not really worried about getting it welded up.

I've actually contemplated smoothing/painted the step pads and putting a bumper back on there. I think they look clean when done right.
