Racks look good on the truck man! That esky third looks so smooth! Nice score on that man! When you redo pain on the end caps, let them dry and then after they’re good and dry, give them a light wetsand with 2000 grit sandpaper. It’ll smooth them over and britghen up the color! I have the esky racks, rear pillar covers, and the esky third light and I love the look! It ties together very well! Looks really good in the white on your truck!

Thanks, will try when i redo my end caps, you are 100% right, the body lines didn't quite match from the vent caps and the glass from the Tahoe, however once i added the rear glass and third break-light it fixed that strange body line issue because the 3rd break-light plastic piece lines up with the esky vent caps. Man i am super excited, to have that done and on the truck. I guess next up will be door handles lift-gate handle, or the grill haven't decided yet i can't paint up here temp has dropped to low i maybe able to rig up a paint booth at the shop.

Yeah it’s weird how that ever so slight curve in the pillar caps is apparent without the esky third light. And then you notice it lines up with the light. Paint up that bumper cap! It’ll look smooth painted to match white!

Painting probably be done for season, am gonna see If I can hunt down clean white handles for it, and correct size spare lol, as it gets colder I am gonna probably try and get back into getting car computer system set up for the truck and stereo cleaned up.
