Well it was a hassle because the warranty company didn't want to cover the motor so it took multiple calls to and almost 3 weeks before the warranty finally covered it, bill kay thought they had the truck fixed before I bought it and I didn't know they had done cam phasers and a exhaust manifold. The motor was 100 dollar deductible, fuel pump module I did my self it was the easiest thing to replace. The radiator was another 100 dollar deductible. So the biggest part was going without my truck and the hassle of dealing with warranties.

I was skeptical at first about doing plasti dip just because I was unsure how well it would hold up/look, but it holds up great and actually came out nice on my factory 20's, my plan was to buy new wheels but since these came out pretty good I decided to just leave em, maybe next year I'll change the wheels but right now im happy.

Let's see those new tires, my terra grapplers were really high, but they are a 285 55 22, so kind of a specialty tire I guess. I got a deal on the set I bought but still much higher than what you found, that should be a nice size that you have also. Very nice looking truck btw

Thanks! I got the truck cleaned up, but apparently the guy at big o tires said when he told me on Friday they should be in Wednesday he forgot Monday was Labor Day so maybe tomorrow or Friday, I'm tired of waiting haha

I only used 2 cans and I used them both completely. Literally all I did if you want to do it in about an hour is I put grocery plastic bags behind the wheel to block the brakes off and then sprayed them, let them dry for about 45-1 hour then peeled off the excess that was on the tire, way easier than taping the tire off it rubs right off and that way you get the plasti dip in the crack of the rim/tire

Oh, I am the plasti-dip king, LOL! I did my Focus wheels, my sons ranger wheels and numerous other things! I think I will get 4 cans and I am going to do a couple coats of glossifier as well.
