Alabama thread!

I'm gonna have to wait till income tax and hopefully then I can do everything I was wanting a 6" lift but I been thinking about it and I think I'm just going to do a 3" lift and 33s and do a bumper and some lights and I'll be happy but on another note anyone on here dos and blasting I want to get my stock wheels blasted and then I'm going to paint them cuz I like stock wheels and it's cheaper

 

I'd be down to bring my truck up and let him measure. Looking for a couple: transmission and fuel case

 

You would probably have to, since you're a third gen. I'm a second gen and live really close to him so that helps out other second gens. But I don't know how much is different underneath the trucks..

 

Is blasting required? I cleaned mine really well, and did a small amount of sanding/scotch bright. Then painted away, had no problems with them.

 

The coating that's on them are flaking off really bad on mine and it'd be hell just trying to pick it off and then trying to sand down the bare metal so it'd be some what smooth cuz it's pretty rough under that coating so I was just gone go ahead and get them blasted

 

If you look you can kinda see what I'm talking about on the front one

 

Ah yea that sucks. Mine were steel also. You have sport wheels without a hood scoop and color matched grill?

 

The Pelfreybilt skids are 05-16 I guess they are the same!

This means I could transfer them to a new truck!!

 

Another money saver!!! Woohoo!!

 

Haha yea it had aftermarket wheels before I got to the dealer they took them off cuz someone else bought a truck from them and they wanted the ones that was on this one so they swapped them and when I got there that's what it had and I was able to knock the price down some cuz of it and like I said I actually like stock wheels

 

and if that's the case, I can be the truck for measurements since I'm so close to him. obviously some stuff will be slightly off because every truck isn't the same, but for general design, he can use my truck

 

Sweet! I like the stock sport wheels as well. I wasn't a huge fan of the steel wheels but after I painted them black I like them. I would still have them if I didn't have a friend offer to trade my stock ones for his after market with BS that I wanted, for free.

Money saver in the long run but an enabler for now...

 

I can't blame you there but I'm trying to do everything different than what you see everyday so socks with nice paint is different then aftermarket wheel like everyone else and I'm going to do everything else as different as I can and still make it look good lol

 

So you aren't going to put a 50" light bar on the roof?

 

Hahahahahah nahh Ima go old school with round kcs on the bumper and I might even do a roll bar on it if I can make it look good I'm more of an old school kinda guy

 

Look forward to watching the build man!

 

Thanks guys. House is really close to ditto landing, not far from @TacoAlaMode place. @BAMATOY not much to move in this weekend. But I'll hold you to that offer if I ever need the help. We could do a mod day there unfortunately there is no garage just a car port or we can have a grill and chill day. Gotta acquire some furniture first. I have a recliner and night stand, that's about it. Building a bed frame out of pallets this weekend.

 

Post some pics of the bed frame when you get it done.
