    Custom by Billy at BruteForce. 1st gen stuff may be in the works in the future but I don;t know how far away. My brother wants to be a guinea pig for him.
    Thanks, I still have it in my back yard. It's cool to look at and know I made that bumper....because I was too poor:eek::).

    Just finished the cv boot mod, they were rubbing like a fat chick's thunder thighs.

    Took all of 10 min. Well worth the time to avoid boot replacement sooner than it should be.

    Really nice truck! I looked through your thread but didn't see it anywhere - what'd you use to paint over the chrome grille surround? Did you prime or just paint?

    Thanks man. I sanded it first then used rustoleum self etching primer since the chrome didnt completly come off so the acid in the primer will adhere to it way better.

    Thanks man. Can't wait to see what yours looks like when they are done with it!
    Means a lot dude. Yes it's a ton of black on there but the DSM color is so plain by itself. I'm thinking of color matching my grille...seems like too much black up front.

    Me neither, every DSM I have seen came with either chrome or a base black grille surround.
