I had a lifter fail after it had been running fine and some other issues but I am really happy with the results. I sort of cheated her out of the major mechanical part that i did, but thought it wld be too overwhelming. This weekend she will change the oil, check coolant and rotate the tires etc. Should be interesting. Thanks

I chose the "Dupli-Color Bed Armor". It was $99.00 at autozone. It got some decent reviews for a DIY. The nice part is that they give you enough to do the whole bed and rails. I thought i might have to pop for the extra quart for 30.00 but didn't. Its really strong stuff. Sure looks better than the B-4 pic.
