Subbed. Really good looking truck!

 

Updates?

 

yea i guess i can do that.........



cleaning up the rough areas and overspray





horrible picture but thats not dust



pretty much the finished product





door jams and tailgate...might as well take the little bit extra time and paint EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!









even took her wheelin











with my wheelin tires and i must say .....>








end result shine 7.5/10











overall im pretty happy with the end result. it looks at least 100x better now than when it was red.

 

damn this truck has changed alot since i got it



to

 

who needs lockers when you have a winch

 

i think i live far enough away from the desert to not worry about that

 

Ahh, love me some white 1st gens. You know what I always say "If it ain't white, it ain't right."

But your hood is still too high, looks goofy

 

no it sits about where it needs to the black line up front is a piece of weather stripping all 01-04 hoods have

 

workin on a set of half doors just because i have an axtra set of doors just lying around and they arent really good enough to sell

sooooooooo........


















































































they aint purdy...........










































or finished yet but....................































































































































































just so yall know there is a reason for that piece sitting out 2 inches



the door handle sits flush with the top of the door now



im not sure about the door handle placement. im stuck between option "A" and option "B". "A" will be easier to do but "B" will look better

option "A"


option "B"

 

Truck looks nice white! Can't wait to see those doors finished

 

some pics of the taco at uwharrie with the half doors












and thanks for the sweet pics burry

 

uwharrie damage

taillight (ordered replacement today 5 30 13)



bumper (should be fixing this problem real soon )



the reason why sliders are necessary for your truck if you wheel it



tire (hit a fawking stump 1/2 a mile from camp while leaving to go back home, luckly it was only the valve stem that was damaged)





(fawking stump)

 

how did you paint it?

 

straightened out the dends the best i could the filled them in with bondo, butt load of sanding till straight, then primer, then rustoleum high performance white spray paint, then rolled on 2 coats of rustoleum oil based protective enamel. it didnt come out bad but it would have held up better if i did 4-6 coats and it'd look better if i wet sanded it, i may still go back and do a few more coats and wet-sand it, but it turned out great for only having ~350$ in it

fourm i got the idea from http://www.meguiarsonline.com/forum...1-My-quot-rustoleum-50-roll-on-paint-job-quot

 

i guess some more recent pics would be nice since ive gotten a few more things for the truck like some 01-04 fender flairs and some SLIDERS

 

looks great! white trucks always look good!!!!!

 

Sick truck man!!

 

thanks

 

Thanks!
