step one was a set of SS wheels,i dont have pics of everything along the way i had an issue with my phone so some of the pics may jump forward so ill just list what ive done and post the pics.

first up was SS bumpers,at first i tried putting a front bumper together with parts but it was going to cost an arm and a leg so i started hunting for completes. found them on CL and installed them,next came the system 3 10" shallow mount lanzars,4 opti 6.5's,2 lanzar amps and a pioneer double din and lastly a 14" flip down monitor. a viper alarm was installed at the same time.

next i ordered a snugtop sl lid,had the bed line-x'ed and ordered all the parts i needed for the painting of the bumpers/mirrors/door handles,ordered up esc. door cups and handles a flip kit for the tailgate. so i dropped the truck off at my painter and he smoothed the mirrors and tailgate handle then painted the gate/mirrors/door cups/bumpers/grill while all this was going on i got my billet inserts for the grill and bumper and got my chrome inner door handles.

next came the k&n fipk2 intake and poweraid spacer,yellowtop optima,us speedo red overlay with silver needles and esc lens cover and red billet dash knobs along with a grant revolution steering wheel and empire billet grab handle and pedal kit.
ive since put 45 series tires on it and added a swingout cargobox,leds lights for the bed and just drove her and enjoyed her got lots of plans for the future tho.

i am finally done with it for the moment but i have an appointment next weeks with a local body guy to discuss making the SS cladding fit my crewcab its the final piece i want done to it cant wait to see it when its done.

It looks like he used the paint stripper and power washer method.

The what now?

It's a method to make the wheels look like new. You spray them with paint stripper then power wash them.

Won't that remove the protective coating? Think it's a little late for my left front the corrosion has taken over maybe a third of the silver face

Can't look worse than it does I guess
