    Haha that was a big consideration for me too. Girdwood is all dirt roads so I figured no matter what I do, it's gonna get chipped when I drive so I might as well go with the rattle can since it's the easiest to touch up.

    Yeah that's what I figured as well. So before installing them you paint them right? Just not the brackets? Then once it's welded, you'll go back and paint any bare metal on the brackets and frame?

    Yep. Once everything is fully welded to the truck you go back and paint the frame and the frame plates. I still need to do that actually...

    im doing brush on rustolieum enamel paint. Just finished with the first coat and it seems pretty good and more or less durable. Gonna be super easy to touch up too :D Only thing i don't like is it takes two+ hours to dry to touch. But I am probably just impatient...

    Started this post to answer that question I had :spy:

    I don't imagine anyone would have a problem, though I can't speak for Thursday because I'll still be in Prudhoe...

    Awesome. Sliders are probably getting welded on as I send this. And a headache rack. Getting excited.
