from what i read your telling me 3m is the best. thats cool just wanted to know who made the best products.
yah i really liked that truck but i had a 2 year total replacement insurance policy on it so i got a new 1990 comanchee and it was a piece of junk. can't figure it out. 88 was like nails but the 90 was junk.

I will learn from this and will be getting replacement seatbelts it ASAP.

About the scratches.... Why not do a roller job like I am doing on my Dakota? IMO it's the prefect paint job for a 4x4 vehicle. If you have no body work to do then it's just straight prep and paint.

Well thats how it is with any automotive paint job. Assuming no body work, I could knock out an entire paintjob including teardown, prep, paint, finish, rebuilt in 3-4 days depending on the vehicle and it will look show quality when its done. Its definately the body work that slows you down!

Mazda, I made the official decision that you need a signature picture, so I made one for you:

Mazda7475.jpg?t=1261635302

Just save it to your computer, upload it as your signature picture, and then insert it into your signature.

Well if he uploads it to the "signature picture" in the edit signature tab, it will automatically be resized.

love it! the 31's fit like a glove with the 2 inch lift. don't care for the "dumbo" side mirrors. had to replace the sleek remote black ones because of the trailer'
thanks guys but your gonna have to do a step by step on the insertion.
also i took the picture on a good spot, it's a lot steeper down below! you can also tell the paint has taken a beating but to me that's what it's all about. i didn't by one to shine it up and parade it down main street.
its on the desktop and it's now the background picture. i like how you faded out the back and put the attention on the truck.

Step 1: Click User CP (left hand side of the black bar near the top of the page)

Step 2: Click Edit Signature under Settings and Options (menu bar, far left of the screen 3rd section from top)

Step 3: Under the Signature Picture frame, click Browse, and find the file.

Step 4: Click Upload

Step 5: Click Insert Signature Picture (top right side of the preview of the picture)

Step 6: Click Save Signature

Lol, I like the huge mirrors! They look good in my opinion. Trucks don't need small mirrors.
