Nice ^^^. I really have had good results with those Monroe Reflex shocks. How you like them?

Well truck is on jack-stands. Dipping the wheels in the morning then heading to Olathe (Kansas City) for some 2012 dark grey running boards. Truck will look totally different by Sunday afternoon.

Loved the look last time I dipped them, but made the mistake of using the glossifier which made them impossible to clean due to them being gritty like sand paper. Oh and the running boards are like new, getting them for $60 with hardware!! Mine are rusting pretty bad.

Oh and I have had a nice big scratch on my passenger rear door since i bought the truck. Going to finally have the whole door re-sprayed by my old man. He just bought a 98 F150 regular cab step-side that has been lowered. It was a repo. It has the 4.6 5 speed manual and 157K. Got it for $350 and it looks to be in good shape except it doesnt start, its something electrical. I am going to help him get that running and then wax his SSR with my Collinite 845 in exchange for the door paint. Side note on the '98, it will be getting a cowl hood and be painted orange with black wheels. Pics later

It still has about 3" of clearance between the tire and wheel well.

don't sound too bad then, how big of tires? your truck is one example I like, but very picky about any lowering of trucks.


it must be nice to be able to go straight to your dad for paint work!!

Default What Did You Do To Your Truck Today?

It's been a while since I posted and this wasn't today. I took home second place at the Tampa Car Scene Kings show at Wing House in St Pete. I'm also in the process of stripping all of the black powder coat off of my lift and painting it with tan duplicolor bed liner.
