Worst experience I've ever had with a truck and sadly I had to give up my f-250 to my mom because we had the dodge and she wanted the f-250. Sad sad day...
I get the same dang thing with the cop truck...everyone slows down which p's me off! LOL i am indeed a girl. That is a sad sad day for giving you up the f250! You got pics of it? Although i hated the dodge...it taught me alot about trucks. She was a 1984 Dodge Ram 250 Royal SE lol fish tailed like a SOB all the damn time.

It originally had a pre runner bar and lights on top on the headache rack in the back and lights on the pre runner bar. Plus a custom tonneau I built for the back. It was a pretty awesome truck I'll admit but damn to mod it out was a ball breaker. Hah
Lol that sounds like fun. Durdge... Ha

Finally 2 more coats of clear coat. Let it dry completely for at least an hour before handling.

Getting the rear emblem off was hell tho...i tried the "floss and hair dryer" method...and recommend using fishing line and the hair dryer instead. Then getting the old 3M tape off...took about and hour a peeling it off tiny bit by tiny bit.

The smoked out ones look sick! I've been thinking about getting some on mine. And about the bed cover, I have a hard top that matches my truck. I don't know what to do, take it off or leave it!?
