    I did it in the engine bay of my old car. It came out looking completely half-assed. Honestly I'd rather have primered glass then the color matched spray paint.

    Matt - I just picked up spray guns at Lowes. Color matched auto paint is only like $20-$30

    ^This. Any HVLP sprayer (even in the hands of a retard such as myself) with a decent compressor will put to shame a spray paint job.

    I was looking at this one. I'm still on the fense about the hood or not though. Was contemplating it just to ditch some front weight.

    Giant or DMZ, with an AP baja leaf pack. I'm going to do it in stages; first stage being SUA, second stage being air bumps, bed cage, and bypasses.

    I'm going to cut the stock shock mounts apart and re-box them at the appropriate height so I won't be bottoming my Fox 2.0's before catching the bumpstop. I know I'll be giving up droop, but it will still be a world better than spring over axle; and it will only be temporary until I cage the bed and finish the job.
