Driverside replacement of everything

I need to replace driverside mirror, fender, flare, tire and lights also bumber and reenforcement bar. Tractor trailor clipped me and took it all with him not even a thank you for the free parts. I have all new replacements and also replacing bumber cover with steel bumber. Can anyone tell me order I shoukd install, tricks to maje it easier, and any general info to help.

 

This forum isnt what I thought. 119 views and not 1 reply. Not the type of help I should be asking for on this forum??

 

I would help if I had a clue where to start.
Just start taking things off that may need replacing (if not already gone).
Take pictures or video, taking things apart for later ref.

 

Thanks taking pics great idea. I always think I will remember but I dont

 

Do you have pic of the damage?
Someone may jump in and help if they can see the extent of the work.
Also, someone who has more experience in this area may pop on and help soon

 

If it were me...
I would remove everything you listed that is busted except for the tire and bar. Everything else is just in the way, the reinforcement bar needs to be put on first so that way you can put everything else on top. Layers....my philosophy.

 

I agree dont want to put on and take off parts. This was my thought reinforcement bar , fender and liner, lights and then steel bumper. I couldnt put yhat ugly bumper cover back on somhoping replacing with steel bumper has no issues.

 

'Picture still worth 1000 words' girl. Let's see the damage. And by the way, if the tire/wheel was hit, you might want to look into getting the alignment checked also.

 

I'd work out to in on the disassembly and in to out on the assembly. That's just me. The mirror could probably be done any time. The bumper parts probably first, the fender mounted to the flare, and then mount and line up the fender and adjust the bumper at that time.

To remove the fender you need to remove the marker light also. It isn't bad if you search a utube video, but my clips on the headlights were old and one side broke. A good side note is that jb weld didn't like to stick to the back of the light housing. I should have used some devcon of something. The marker light would probably be the last part in it I'm remembering correctly. I've taken my truck apart more since my fiberglass fenders than before so maybe stock fenders have differences in order and what not.

 

All taken apart as things were falling off.

 

Contact @Roman for parts. He’s the factory part guy on the forum.

 

Sorry hit post button. Looking at my the 2004 the fender attaches to the "bizzle" not sure if spelling correct. Which houses my light. The inner fender liner attches to the fender which also attaches to the bumber. Of course the fender flare has to go on fender before attached to truck. I was thinking of working from the top down. What do you think? One more thing i purchased from Amazon a bunvh of differe
nt clips but not sure which ones go were. Is there something out there I can use? I have been driving my poor truck,and the alignment feels good doesnt pull to either side. Will get alignment when new tires go on.

 

If I recall you have to pull the marker light housing to remove the fender from the bezel. I completely spaced the inner fenders. Yeah you probably have to remove those first. I'd expect to break most of the clips that hold those on. I haven't been running inner fenders for a while and they make disassembly more difficult, but they are nice to have.

 

Sent Roman a email thanks for the info!! Ok so thats how bezel spellled. I broke most of the clips kinda fun taking out my frustration over this whole nightmare. So here is my plan install lights and takeoff and replace reinforcement bar put together flare, fender and inner fender and place on truck and finally put on steel bumber and tighten everythinng down, crossing my fingers it goes welll.

 

Hey we all take our frustration out on our cars sometimes. My fogged marker housing got my fist the other day after a particularly terrible day in the shop. If you are replacing it anyway and all that haha
