From this view, I need to trim some material from the back of the valence if I'm looking at the valence just like this, then I can push the valence in more and drill a new hole through to the fender. Right now I can't push in the valence anymore so the valence sticks out a bit.
Just wanted to let you guys know that I fixed this really easily about a month ago.
I took off the valence and cut off a piece on the inside of the velence where it butts up against the fender. That way when I put it back on I could push the valence in to be flush with the fender. I then drilled a new hole through the valence and fender and put a bolt through to keep it lined up.

I also added the raptor grill. I wasn't gonna do it, but I think it compliments the lines front the fiberglass to give it a more rough look.

I have to compliment the great job you did! End result is very impressive. I do not trust myself with anything body or paint related on the truck. I had ADV take care of fitment, then brought it to Perfect Color Paint in Anaheim, CA for paint.

Hey man, idk if your truck could look any better!

I lean more towards the mechanical stuff and hated working on the body myself but it was worth it in the end.

Looks like your tires were updated to KM3. ? What size are those?

You definitely saved a lot of $$$ by working on it yourself! Once again, mad props to you! You must have patience that I could only dream of having lol

Correct with the update! I went with 315/75R16's. These ADV fenders could probably clear up to a 37" but would most likely put extra wear and tear on Cv's etc

I can't take all the credit, work from home and that semester all of my classes were on zoom definitely helped. I have some short videos of me working on my truck during thermo 1 and engineering materials, 2 classes that are usually hard for me to stay awake in.
I can't attach the vids it says they are too large.
