I ran into this on some random lift kit website

i fell in love with the color scheme. Even though it's computer generated, im definitly going to paint the underside of my truck this. I already started by painting the bulkhead metallic blue like it was and painting the arms metallic finish silver. Love the way it looks. Cannot wait til offseason in football so i can lift my truck and paint all of the components blue and black.

Plans for this weekend:

-Definitely repaint the rear bumper. The 2 large chips on the back are really irritating me.
-Repaint the grill in one small section that chipped from mud drying on the surface
-Repaint my rear wheels that are chipping on one small side
-Steam treat my paint on the body and detail the snot out of it.
-Finish underbody paint


Bascially im going to detail my entire truck this weekend. Tired of horrible paint. Especially the rear bumper. It's bugging the hell out of me...

Most likely going to a car show right up the street on saturday. So i'm definitely going to be investing some seriously time in my truck over the next couple days and hopefully address alot of small details on the exterior.

My actuator went out a few weeks ago. Replaced it about 5 days after it went out after I got stuck and decided I need 4wd asap. Cost 104.99 to fix, but it has lifetime warranty. Pics below. The tire ramps weren't necessary. But it makes it easier to work with.

I stopped driving it when my tires started to become very worn. The fronts are bald on the outside and one has a nail in it, the rears are bald, missing chunks, and one is leaking air so bad, i have to air it up every day. So I stopped driving it due to the fear of getting a flat, not to mention traction issues.

Then after I got 4wd back, i went out and had a little fun at 4 in the morning. It was thunderstorming and i did a little 4 wheeling

Big mistake not washing my truck and letting the mud bake onto my rear bumper..
You must be registered for see images attach


Since this happens alot, im going to place an order on a 6x2 black vinyl sheet. So i dont have to worry about it anymore.

Goals for this truck in the next month or two: (hopefully before February due to snow storms during that month)

Main Goals:
-2.5'' block lift and crack - 65$
-305/75r16 mud tires
-Vinyl Wrap rear bumper

Goals after those: 6'' rcx lift with 315's
