    Literally any screw at your local hard ware store that’s comparable in diameter.
    Just take one and compare.

    Does taking the flares off make your truck a bigger man?

    I washed it. I finally might take the time to buff out all of the paint tomorrow as well. We will see how I feel about that come morning lol. Got a little dark on me as well. Also pulled the corner lights to try to fix the wiring but ended up breaking a bunch of their tabs 46520697-5EDA-498F-95EC-7A7A3814BCF3.jpg 89AADBC1-0255-4A10-9D37-9C7475DEA19E.jpg

    Once it’s no longer a daily I plan on monstalining it. Quality wraps are damn near the same cost as paint and still require body work to make it look factory and clean

    If there wasn't any holes needing filled I'd remove my flares. But I guess I'll deal with them a bit longer. LT is on my list so I'll be trading flares for arches lol

    Got door smacked at Lowes this morning. Parking clear the F out away from everyone as usual and this older lady drives up in a nearly new Caddy XTS, had to park right beside me, and the 30mph wind grabbed her door and KA-BAM! Said at the scene she's just going to pay for it out of pocket but has since started giving me the run around . . . going to be out of town until at least the 8th, going to have to talk to people, says she is a flight attendant based out of Atlanta so not sure what her schedule will be [with a local tag] even though she had to be 60, and when she actually went there suggesting that an old junk truck like mine should be totaled over $1500 in damage . . . I went in and filed a preliminary PD report just in case she gets even more stupid.

    I was pulled in forward on my side and she had to pull across the space from the other side so she could be facing out on my side right next to me or it wouldn't have happened. No other cars within 4 spaces either direction so parked anywhere but there, it wouldn't have happened. Had she stopped six inches sooner, her door hits my nerf bar, no damage. Beginning to think perhaps her X drove a silver Tacoma, ran off with his secretary, and had graying brown curly hair too . . .
    Oh well, my Gen One "was" dent free . . .

    My old junk truck after its spring cleaning a couple weeks ago . . .

    And not clean and after her smooth move today . . .
