What about a Rustoleum paint job with a roller?

In case you're interested.

Click to expand...

I went to the link and read it plus several others. My 1st Gen needed a paint job, so after I went to the local Automotive Paint store and was quoted $800-$1000 for the paint materials only, I decided to give the Rustoleum roller job a try. I just did the 2nd wet sanding and 5th coat tonight. Of course there are some flaws, but I’m not looking for a showroom truck.

With a enough layers. The flaws can be wet sanded with a block, nice and flat. IF you sand through, just add more layers. It took the poster of that thread a few tries before he got the hang of things. The final wet sanding and buffing is where the magic happens.

Good luck!

Post some final pics when finish.

Not OP but this is the popular choice for a front/anytime camera. You'll have to look for the one for your truck year. I'm going a similar route but I'm adding blind spot cameras along with a front camera. In theory all my cameras will be anytime. My blindspot cameras will also come on when I signal. I just started gathering the parts along with my aux fuse box.

Was looking at the same one. Based on the description, it looks like it'll work with my aftermarket radio and backup camera I had installed a few months ago.

Installed my underseat subwoofer on the back panel because it did not fit under the seat. It was like an 8th inch too big.. I'm really happy with the way it came out.

Did you try flipping the bar underneath the seat for more clearance?

Did you replace any suspension parts? For my I found out that the sway bar was hitting parts of my suspension, so I had to get a relocation kit to prevent it.
Click to expand...

I didn't. I had Bilsteins, then added OME 883's, but the 'clunk' was there before all of it. So i think that rules out the shocks/springs so it's gotta be something else. I'll check the sway bar bushings as well.

with certain OME Bilstein can bottom out and make a shock clunk

My clunk now is from my steering rack; wore out the nuts holding it during poly bushing job and need to put new ones. FSM states only tighten the bolts; the nuts are serrated. AKA the opposite of anything anyone has ever heard of
