    Alright, I removed my dual color emblem with plasti-dip on it. What is the easiest way to remove the old plasti-dip to start over? I have watched youtube, but I am not finding any videos that show emblems being stripped.

    WD-40? I saw a couple videos, they used Goo Gone on it.

    Goo gone would probably work better. I've use Wd-40 on areas of my hood where the plasti-dip refused to peel off.

    One way is to lay on a couple more layers of the Plasti-Dip, then peel it off once it's cured. Acetone works well also.

    Celebrated 200 miles on the new rig with a wash, clay, and wax. I was surprised at how many contaminants the clay pulled off after such a short time.

    Finished fabbing up my fuse panel mounting plate. Now I'm just waiting for the blue sea panel and breaker to show up.

    It wasnt paint...smh. check out the detail section, a detailer on there recommends it due to particles accumulates during shipping and when it sits on the lot. Either way, it looks damn fine now.

    I had it fabricated locally after seeing another one like it on here. The original fella parted out his truck but I missed buying it. So I had one built. I'm really happy with it so far!

    I was joking, because a common complaint I've seen on here is that the paint on our trucks is crap. And after scratching it with a wet microfiber cloth I tend to agree

    The same shit everyone else has.
    Ordered new ball joints for my Light Racing control arms. Once them and the replacement 5100 shows up, I can finally install the control arms, eibach springs and get the thing aligned
