Welding the new panel in
Welded the seam along the top and ends and plug welded in between the stamped "bullets" along the bottom edge. Little bit of body filler then some etching primer and bed coating.
Fender was hammered with rock chips and starting to rust so I bed lined a couple inches up it. I'll probably follow this line along the whole side of the truck. Lots of rock chips down low and the drivers rear door needs a repair on the bottom anyways.
Passenger side of the truck is going to be just as much fun

How difficult was it to install the slip on? My drivers side rocker is crushed from running over a boulder was wondering what's involved since I'll never be able to afford to take it somewhere to have t replaced

Picked up a set of 2011 ltz hd rims in rough shape with Toyota open country ATs.
Stripped the clear coat from them, scotchbrited the oxidization and pitting as much as I had patience for then used a power cone and almost a whole tube of autosol.

The worst spot of them all
Far from show quality but I'm happy considering how much I paid for the set. Ordered some adapters just waiting for those now.

Sprayable paint stripper in an aerosol can. Wasn't even aircraft stripper and it actually worked great.
Good to know. I tried aircraft stripper in a jug and didn't have much luck with my old wheels.
Really? I've used the blue gel kind of aircraft stripper for other things and it did alright
Layer it on thick an set in sun for 15-20 minutes an pressure wash off
