She's all the same color again.


Base-coat done.

 

Looks good man

 

finished my shocks. Billstein Off road shocks for lifted truck. ALso put on new sway bar end links from Maxx suspension.

Now I don't want to sell my truck! it only has 85K miles on it now I know I can get much more out of it.

Just need to get the brakes dialed in. Gonna do the proportioning valve trick/bleed the system.

 

I've had an interesting past few months with the truck. A lot of driving and hauling with a trailer. After hauling with the trailer some issues popped up. Drivers inside pad decided to explode, so I got new rotors, pads and calipers and put those in. Checked everything over, looked good, more driving for another week then I'm being followed by 100 horses! Click clack click clack lol, drivers side axle shaft u-joint is on it's way out, real quick. Start ripping it apart again and the hub assembly and bearing are shot, great. Put more new parts up front. Another week of driving and get off work a little early, start to drive home, just get into the 100KM zone, BAM, hit a freaking deer! Now I'm on the search for a new bumper, grille and passenger side headlight and marker. All of which new, are in the price of gold range. I think my luck with this truck has run out and time to find 3/4 or 1 ton for a toy hauler.

 

^Ouch that's rough, sorry man. I once had a deer headbutt my passenger side door on my old truck.

I painted in a bedliner after work.

Getting closer... clearcoat done... a good buff tomorrow, and the weekend to put it back together.

 

OK, here we are at tomorrow... All buffed up and real shinny.

 

That red ram is smokin hot. Excellent work.

 

What's with all the little spots on it?

 

Water beads, from a wash down.

Got the lights and the step inserts back on... forgot I had to paint the grill support frame, so that's this afternoons job.
