I am an aircraft mechanic, but no, the company I work for was paid to pick up the wreckage of that cropduster.

Got bored/tired of my '98 Z71, sold my '99 Durango and upgraded to an '01 Ram 5.9L CTD. and she loves to work :D Z71 is still kickin', but I don't plan to do anything more with it other than driving it. Done quite a bit to it since I got it, quick list: Edge Juice W/ Attitude CTS 5"...

Can't resist the urge to mod it...

For the price of them they are very hard to beat. I have them slightly angled so they aim outwards towards the sides of the roads, so I can see if a pesky deer decides to show it's face.

I love the look of these trucks with flares, so I had to pick up a set. The U-pull it didn't have any flares, so I resorted to buying the eBay set for $145 shipped. Not a bad product, easy to install and fit pretty nice. It's too cold out to paint the flares, but they will be body color...

Demolded and colormatched my truck

Looks good. Love them Cooper STT's... I loved mine on my Durango, only got 2 years out of them, though. They were terrible in the snow lol.. good for going but trying to stop is another story. What can you expect for a mud terrain though. Only got 2 years out of mine because I put 15-18k miles...

Opinions on new rims.

I'd rock the **** out of H3 rims. Little bit of filler and some paint to get rid of the HUMMER engraving, problem solved!

window and door lock switches.

Stock radios are a ***** to change the bulbs. You have to disassemble the face of the radio, unsolder the bulbs on the circuit board and solder new ones in place. I used to do it, I still can do it, but there really isn't much money in it anymore. You are much further ahead just replacing it...

Cruise control...

Do we have a light in the dash that shows when cruise is enabled? My truck has cruise and it works, but I don't have any light in the dash indicating it's on. Not really a big deal but I would like to replace the bulb if it has one. Truck is a '98, as well.

Time for some body work!

Tow hooks I may pull off, sandblast and powdercoat, since I have all my own equipment for that. Not too worried about the wheel wells, I may hose them down with some simple green and powerwash them. I will be doing the engine bay so at that time I may do it. The rims look like crap too haha...

Time for some body work!

Finally all done! Compounded, buffed, waxed and polished. Looks like a million bucks now. Only flaw now is the cab corners, which I'll fix sometime. I've got too much labor into this truck at this point and I'm lazy. I'll get them next year. All I need now is a tailgate, wheel...

Wheel Spacers

Depends on the spacers you buy. Thin ones generally (1/8" or so) you can get away without doing anything, and that's how they come. The wider ones, typically offset the bolt pattern and come with pre-installed studs. Basically you bolt the spacers on using the stock axle studs, then bolt your...

Time for some body work!

No worries about derailment.. I'm just glad this thread is helpful to you guys! It's hard to say what any shop would charge you. I myself would charge about $200-250 to repaint and blend the lower half of your truck, that is providing there is no real bodywork needed to be done (other than...

Time for some body work!

Thanks guys. Yeah, new blacks tend to have pearl in them (yuck if you ask me) if I want a black vehicle I want it BLACK. No pearl in it. So doing this on something newer would be more of a hassle. Raining quite a bit lately so getting anything done is pretty much out of the question right now...
