Dropped mine off for rust & metal repair before heading to media blaster. Getting blasted after the inner cowl and rockers come off, then primed..

I see your tags are on the passenger side pillar?? Mine are on the drivers side. Did the factory change the location?

We should call our trucks "BOAT's" as in BUST OUT ANOTHER THOUSAND.

I received my newly polished headlight surrounds from the metal polisher today. Even my mom was impressed and she hates my truck! (Dad loved them though).

Another set back on the new brake lines and rear disk swap. Tried to install the braided line on the rear axle only to find out the line runs directly into the leaf springs

I understand, not having the right parts when you need them is a pain. I have a company here in Tampa that has any and all things for hose repair and replacement. AN fittings, adapters you name it. Amazon Hose, they are the best people to work with. There moto is we are not here to sell you hose, we are here to fix your problem.

Looks like your almost done with the brakes! Looking good.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Hello, got the new Firestone Destination A/T 31x1050's installed...just in time for the first snow. It looks a lil high in back but I think that increases the cool factor..
Also, I have been gathering up all the brackets and clamps to install a factory sway bar, that too should increase the grins per gallon quest.
