Good old fashioned American made durp (Plasti Dip)

 

How difficult was wrapping the hood? I have been considering doing a wrap on mine

 

Its a pain in the ass alone. I wrapped my tailgate and it looks fine from 5+ feet, but any closer and it looks bad. But better protection than nothing

 

Im guessing it'd be much more realistic to have another person to help?

 

It is pretty difficult if you have never worked with Vinyl. Its alot of trial and error and alot of picking up the wrap and heating and laying back down. Mine is not perfect.....

This is about how i feel lol. Mine is same way. Hood was alot harder than TG!

 

My alternator seized up and fried the (previously) brand new belt. It cranked slowly then fired up, battery light came on in the dash, then the delightful smell of burning rubber.

I had been thinking, "Hmmm... should I swap out the alternator with a rebuild and keep the original as a backup?" but I of course said "Nah, sounds like they don't go out too often." Darned that Murphy guy!

In any case, glad I didn't take the truck up to the foothills over the weekend. And VERY glad it didn't go out while I was in Death Valley last month.

 

Tearing the bed off.. and prepping for some new ish. Gonna swap out my dual arb compressor for a single while I have it apart since I only really use it for the rear locker and can shave about 10-15 lbs between the two.

 

Yes. Preferably another person who's wrapped before

I had it off and apart. Still hard! I thought i was getting a hang of things, then heated too much and stretched the vinyl too much. Then back to repairing the part you just messed up

 

Hotshot Offroad.. ask for Colton… he’s freak’ awesome!

 

Awesome thanks for that.

 

Did some decorating.

 

That time of the year!!!

 

I accept donations in the form of twin arb compressors. Just an FYI

 

Finally! 12 rocks lights in total. This took way to long but I love the outcome.

 

Heres what I did last year. I'm not planning on doing anymore this year.
