Default Well started to mod a bit.

Well I did it took my lower front valance off and I don't think it looks too bad. My prob is the front bumper has never been straight. Always had a lean to the passengers side is there a way I cab fix this I tried just now ad can't seem to get it err. Next to do o day is take back bumper off and work on the drivers side support it bolts to. Someone rearended it or backed into somethig and the support on the driver side is bent up goin see if I can straighten It out. Also goin prep or the painting of rocker panels with spray on rustoleum bed liner. Ive got tine and a few extra bucks. Hehe time to have fun. Here is a pic of truck without lower front valence till I get a 4x4 valance with lights and maybe row hooks.

Get a jack and block of wood and set it under the bumper where it's hanging. Losen the bolt holding that support bar inside the bumper, then jack the bumper up just past even and then retighten the bolt. It should pull it up some. That's what I did to mine.

No prob. Also goin take pics as I go. I'm taking dash apart and goin let it dry good before I pY back in. I did a little part today to see how it would come out. I painted the panel on the dash that is sort of oval shape. Took I out painted it let it dry bout 30-45 min put it back in and I didn't smell
Any paint whatsoever but morrow will be the big test lol. Keep eye on this thread. Will keep it up to date.
