On average it costs me 75$ to fill up the rear tank

Just about done painting the rims, another coat or 2 and they should be perfect. Can't wait to put new tires on Thursday.

I wouldnt have painted the inside of the rims, when the paint starts peeling, the bead will start leaking. Then youll have to take the tires back off, and strip the paint off the inside of the wheel.

Cut the front bumper. Got tired of the sag on the sides. Now just have to clean it and paint it and the grille and bezels black. And put the fog lights on.

A long time ago I built some front/rear bumpers for my 87 Bronco out of 6" channel iron, beastly bumpers and they cleared my 37" tire no problem with just F250 heavy duty springs front and rear along with 5" cut out of the front fender and 7" out of the rear fender. Next time I'm at my home up north I'll try to get pictures. The truck is sitting rotting away on stock 235s now. Road salt got the best of the body tub so I parked it.

Painted my rims three years ago the same way. Paint won't peel when painted correctly. No peeling, no leaks.

Yep, if the paint peels put down the spray can because you don't know what you're doing.
