[QUOTE="rdwngs4402, post: 1089174, member: 22231"] Lots of spot welds had to be cut, I will say Harbor Freight makes a quality spot weld bit. I was very lucky that my bed bolts came out nice after a day of soaking and a torx plus bit from Amazon. I've got about 20 hours into the glassworks 4.5" bedsides and finally wrapped the drivers side last weekend, still need to extend the fuel filler neck because the new bedsides are wider. The fit is pretty rough on these bedsides, they are not made to re-use the tailgate so it was a very difficult to get the tailgate to work. The bed rail caps also aren't made to be re-used as the glassworks bedsides are the same size as the OEM caps, I do want to use the OEM caps. I cut about 8" out of the bedsides and dovetailed the rear end. I'm waiting on a satin graphite wrap for the flares, it takes away from the Raptor look with the whole truck color matched. The black smoked tail lights also need to go, I might just do a red LED tail light maybe a light smoke. [/QUOTE]
