All,
Can you tell me the tools required to remove the interior for the new body style trucks? I know most of it can be done without any special tools, but I also know that having the right tools can make all the difference in the world. If you could also recommend a vendor to buy them from I would appreciate that too.

Thanks in advance

Joe

If you have 12 point deep sockets, you don't need deep external torx sockets. (for the front seats.)

Thanks guys. DO you have any tips too. I'm planning on installing Dynamat or similar product in the entire cab, doors, floor and headliner.

You know, I'll say that when I took off my door panels to install the new handles, and speakers... I felt good about not installing sound deadener on them.

Didn't really look like it would do any good.

the headliners going to be a mother.... you can't take it out of the truck.

I'm not looking forward to doing it.
