Daily Driver / Tow Pig Build....

mjonesjr · Jan 29, 2012

I decided to take the wheel trim off the truck today. I am sure glad I did to clear out the gunk.

Decided to take all the wheel trim off and leave it off. This spring the side molding will be coming off as well. I just need to figure out how to get the tape off without damaging the clear coat.

yeah they are a good spot to collect rust i took mine of and painted under them just in case. they make a rubber piece that goes on a drill that works great they used it up at my school and it just takes the sticky of.lol

While your taking care of the hidden rust don't forget to check under the chrome on the windshield. I pulled mine to paint it and there was tons of crud under it holding moister and wasting the clips.

I'm going to be pulling that trim this spring so they can paint the whole truck.

Forgot that you posted that... Here is a link to the clips that hold the top and side pieces to that molding on if yours are to rusty to reuse like mine are.

Yea, it is going to stay the same color. Depending on price, it might get a white 2-tone down the center.

i think that is my favorite color combo ever.... and you dont see it often

mjonesjr · Feb 1, 2012

I'm going to stick with a single color right now. I'm going to go with a about the same shade, only in a silver so it is more metallic.

I decided to take my tool box out and clean the aluminum dust out and paint and coat the bottom so it wouldn't do it again.

I also got a new Silverline exhaust tip from Complete Performance. It is a 4" inlet x 5" outlet tip with a miter cut and rolled edge.

Before:

After:

Cleaned and washed up since it was decent outside today.

I painted it first with a flat black paint, then I used the spray can bed liner.

It is the low profile over the rail box, so it is hard to see unless your looking.

With my work schedule (on 24, off 48), I have a lot of free time. I have a part-time job, but the weekends usually is when I get bored.
