Thanks!! I've been about 8 yrs without a truck to work around the house and what not. I'm hoping to put a plow on it cause I hate begging people to plow in the winter.

I kept my civic to drive to work everyday.. Hoping to pass that to my daughter when she's ready to drive.. I only have 5 years for that.. Lol..

Yeah I have been without a truck for the past two years and it does suck having to bother somebody to borrow a truck. My little Altima coupe doesn't do that good of a job at being a truck

I told the wife that as soon as we get in the new house and get settled I'm looking for a truck

I am sorry about your friend. I love the truck. I really am loving the stock look with stock wheels and tires hammered on the ground

Amazing, isn't it? K is ready to drive. I am not sure the planet is ready for her to drive.

I have a.d.d. when it comes to my work area. However, there is another garage stuffed full of parts.

That's a good thing to have about a work area. I built my shop last summer and thought I would have all this space.... I was wrong. Lol

Good work Jeff! Thanks for using our parts to suspend your truck! Looks like there's some light at the end of the tunnel!

No problem Nate! Thanks for all the help and great customer service. I'm hoping to have it finished for next show season.

Rochlow · 09-10-2013, 08:38 AM

Ok. One thing that I wish was supplied with the slosh tubz is instruction/helpful hints. I wasn't sure how much sheetmetal to cut out of the fender and wanted to cut as little as possible. After a bunch of test fits, I had scratched the crap out of the gel coat. So I fixed that and repainted them.

Well, once I put the hood on I realized that the underside of the hood needs to be trimmed so they don't come in contact with tubz. Only found this out as the hood put scratches in the tubz. If I had known that this was an issue, I would have taken care of that before I painted the underside.

I went through the same thing. Not sure I'd do them again. Now building filler panels to cover all the fender cuts required to get these in. Not sure I'd call these bolt in?

Rochlow · 09-10-2013, 09:33 AM

Just issues that I wish would have been addressed or known about before I painted everything and installed them.

Roxy got some love from Porterbuilt on their facebook page. She's looking good!
