it corners a million times better. They give it a bit of a rougher ride but thats to be expected with brand new springs. Now I just need to get rid of that awful barb wire and paint it. Considering going with this company and paint: https://www.paintforcars.com/kits_TCI_cndyapplered.html

Truck's going to look great, especially once the barbed wire's gone!

I'm in Atlanta myself. Where around here did you find the tires?

Did you re-color just the plastic trim pieces? or more of the interior as well?

We use oven cleaner to remove painted company logos off vehicles or a heat gun on stickers. Should work on the barbed wire.

I got them from a guy in bremen. They came off an old Jeep CJ that had been garage kept its entire life. I pulled the entire dash out, every bit of trim, seat, door panels, everything. Sprayed the dash and everything else, let it dry for a day while I coated the floor with bed liner then reinstalled it. Pretty easy job. I'll pull the barb wire this weekend and start ordering everything for paint.

I rebuild Vintage motorcycles in my spare time. (I only have 7) I use my heat gun to remove old stickers off bikes all the time, just havent had a chance to get after it on the truck.
