    To each their own, but a 17 year old truck in UT could do with out the moister bath on the frame and bed every morning oct-apr.

    Goolge exhuast dump rust. It is not common but also not unheard of.

    Air down the tires and stick playing cards or note cards all the way around to keep paint off the tires. Thats what i did on my oem set, works great!

    Wheels look good!

    Lithium based grease. It won't eat away the poly bushings.

    Looks good dude!

    Thanks man! These tires are going in the trash when I get the new rubber hence the carelessness. The waiting on the tires is killing me but at least it gives me time to paint these.

    Over 2/3's of the members here have lopped off that pipe right after the axle. Including me. Rust is a huge issue here (on this site) and I think if it was actually causing a rust issue in the bed or frame, somebody would have spoke up.

    btw.

    Anybody ever seen a metric security bolt (Grade 8 equivalent)? Factor 55 makes a nice SAE one but I need metric (M12) for a bumper/winch. I can't find one anywhere except for the non-structural bathroom stall types.
