Nice work guys. I just noticed the difference in tailgate handle assemblies from the 2025 to the 2026. I prefer the 2025 with "less" plastic and a cleaner install .... BUT really like the addition of the puddle light option on the Lariat trim. Will look into color coding mine somewhere

If I'm not mistaken, it's because of "Job one" in 2025, then "Job two" in 2025 is when the change occurred. My Lariat doesn't have the back up trailer assist knob. So no camera on the tailgate handle.

Sorry, I missed this... Jeez, My apologies. Nah, It was just lining it up basically. I will say the only big cost was the paint. Several coats base, mid, gloss.
