Lol! Dave is gonna be throwing the completed pics up.

And about the seats. Made life much easier. Seats took 3 min to remove, no biggie.

No, didn't change the filter. Didn't even think about it.

we removed the seats to make accessing the cab mount bolts easier. 4 bolts each seat and 7 for the jump seats..... took 5 minutes each seat. and with the 4dr, you have to remove the jump seats. the rear bolts are right under the seat mount.

i got your pm. sent one back as well. wish you kevin or korey could have been there. we had to figure everything out on our own. wasnt easy but we got her done.

i pulled the headlights cause i thought maybe the wires would pull during the cab lift. did it as a precaution. i didnt want to leave them and screw them up.

as for the bed.... i pulled it to make cutting the filler neck and adding the extension easier as well.

for my first time ever doing something this involved, i think dumpedmk3 and myself did quite well.

we removed the front ones to make accessing all of them easier.

much easier to work when there was nothing in the way. 4 bolts each front seat is nothing. no biggie.... plus got the carpet out of the way too.

Because it takes 10 minutes to remove, and gives you tons more room to work with.

I'll completely disagree, but not saying that you did anything wrong. I think its easier to NOT remove things, i'd rather work around the seats than remove em. We can argue it all day, bottom line is you guys did what you needed to do

I just take off as little as possible, I know I already said it. Only thing I take off are the bumpers and inside trim pieces, I don't take anything else off.
