Well got the truck back from the bodyshop again yesterday, gave it a coat of wax today, the resurrection is finally complete

Mods/changes from before, some with help from insurance, some just stuff I did over the summer:

• Paint-matched front and rear bumpers
• Paint-matched taillight covers
• Debadged and side spears removed
• Rhino liner over the rails
• Cut off my exhaust tip and painted it black (still need to get pics of that)
• Changed rear diff to Amsoil Synthetic Severe Gear and painted diff cover blue
• MyGIG REN non-nav install with Coastal Electronics Technologies MyGIG Lockpick Adapter
• All Country Radial LXT 265/75 R16's

And of course the obligatory pics: (Bolt you can stop hassling me about pics now )

That MyGig looks sick! Nice looking truck man, real nice. I'm jealous that I don't have a mygig now...

 

Thanks! I actually have to do some work on the center bezel, it doesn't show in that pic but I sort of eyeballed the cut out instead of measuring it right the first time and there's a noticeable gap below the radio, lol. When I have time I'll fix it up with some bondo and paint it (I hate the fake wood).

 

Looks great Rich! I can't hardlt believe that is the same truck that was crushed all over. Kudo's to body and paint shop you chose, they did a hell of a job! Just in time for heading back to school as well. Can't remember, do you have the leveling kit?? Once again, looks sweet! Good luck on classes Monday! Yuk!!

 

Eric: Man if you can link me that or just tell me how that would be awesome. I thought of that but couldn't figure any way to paint it short of being legendary with an airbrush (and I've never used one )

texdak: Yeah they did a good job, I'm glad we went with them. I do have the TM leveling kit on, sometime in the future I'll be taking it off and going with the 2" rear lowering shackles but that's a ways off still.

Just realized I forgot pics of the Differential Cover, I painted mine when I changed the fluid.

Ground down to bare metal with a wirebrush head on our ancient angle grinder:

On truck (sorry for the crappy pic, it was raining out and I guess I got water on the lens:

So your going to go low? So you'll be going to a low profile tire? You going the way like Frenchy and Badass???

 

To be honest I don't think anyone behind me will be noticing it unless they're in a lowered civic, lol. You have to be pretty low down to see it clearly.

Yeah after I do that the stance of the truck will be like theirs and Superdak's.
