    quick update, the paint stripping is coming along slowly, got all the sound deadening pulled up on the cab floor. my 2 new replacement fenders came in along with a replacement hood, not a perfect fit, but itll work. lastly i FINALLY got new wiper arms from Davez Offroad, a set that actually work and have the springs lol

    im excited to get her running too lol. Honestly....I have NO idea what it is....some form of bedliner paint shit, i really dont know lol. I have to get it off because there is still rust underneath it. whoever had the bed before the guy I bought it from, really did a poor job at fixing the rust. I plan on POR-15ing it once I get it to bare metal and fix whats been rusted through

    Outside man with some good old sugar sand. Put a screen over a 5 gallon bucket and filter the sand.
