But allot of it is just experience. Knowing people that have these items is a huge short-cut for those learning. Hell, I had a personal trainer on the net lol, - just worked out that way. Lucky! The shops been set up for it for awhile now, - well the best it can be. - I should say it's outfitted now....Don't have tuh cut corners .
I'll be up there with my truck in a few months lol.
After replacing the bed I didn't care a bit about my paint,it used to be hand washed 2-3 times a week sometimes more so now that I don't care about it,its covered in scratches. I got quoted $3500 to paint it,that's insane for a back to factory color paint job.
