yeah i am thinking about going up the fenders too. you can see in the last pic that it had fender flares on it but were getting busted up so i removed them and it took some paint with it so i am getting another set of them and when i do i will mark off where the flare will sit and then undercoat behind the flare before putting them on.

yeah that grey on the front bumper gotta get changed, it throws things off. im gonna glue the top piece back down and then get some black plastic paint i think.

i went over the fenders b/c mine had rust and i suck at body work....so i filled the holes in with waterproof expanding foam and then laid down some bondo....can't hardly tell unless you really look at it...plus the bedliner is much better against rock chips and corn stalks than the paint

Looks pretty nice.
What was leaking on the steering stabilizer?
Does the spray have a rust inhibitor in it or did you grind the rust off first?

That looks awesome cowboy, get yourself some black Krylon Fusion for the front bumper. Just wipe it down with acetone and the paint will adhere nicely. Truck looks good man!
