What have you done to your K2 today?

Dang that is some serious Orange Peel on that tailgate! Looks like you did a better job painting the handle than they did the whole tailgate.

The grille was a pain to separate. Headlight trim was easier. Lol. There are about 20 or so clips on the back of the grille and they're a little tricky to get out. Just need 2 screwdrivers to pry with.

What is needed to take apart headlight trim and do the tabs break easily?

Just take your time with a heat gun. It was easy.

This shows how the tabs separate.

Took the side steps off. Was going to wait until I bought the Amp steps, but the lines really are cleaner without the stock ones.

OMG! Someone stole more parts off my truck! Finally after dragging my feet for a couple weeks and waiting on the shop. She's getting her beauty make up this week while I'm on my bachelor party vacation.

Oh I was just kidding! I spent about 20 minutes removing 80 little bolts. It'll be even more fun putting them all back in. I'll have to be very gentle so I don't mess up the paint.

When you get the replacement bolts use RED loctite or other brand thread locker.

If you notice I made sure you saw to get red. Blue is to stop fasteners from walking out, but you're still able to break the blue thread locker if you need too which it most. With red they would probably need an impact driver to get the bolts out.

 

It's just sad that they'd steal those little cheap bolts. Honestly if you're going to take the time to do it then steal the actual rims lol. But, it makes me think of a piece that I think someone could have stolen off my truck. If you look at the windshield wiper arms, the little cover that covers the mounting but to mount the arm to the shaft was missing on one of them. I don't remember it flying off because it's a big enough piece where I would have seen it. So either someone stole it or it was missing from the truck for God knows how long. Luckily it was just a $5 cover and snapped right on.
