    I'll be honest as much as I'd love to do the hot dip. That looks like a huge project to strip the truck complety apart.

    I was half kidding. Not that I wouldn't like to do it if I had the cab off my truck but it's definitely a huge undertaking.

    I would need a warehouse and a lift to do this. Looks like it cost the guy 400-500.

    That's my thing aswell. I don't think I'd have a place where I could take every last thing off my frame. I've got no engine jacks, stuff like that. I mean if I had the space and time hell yeah I'd love to do that. But not really wanting to take my tranny out and all that fun shit. Next year I'll probably just end up paint it/ filming it for awhile. But until the painting will take place I'll just end up filming it for the winter

    Reminds me, I gotta truck jack stands. These regular jack stands aren't tall enough.

    The 12 ton stands at Harbor Freight are a nice size and don't break the bank if you watch for a sale. I wouldn't bother with anything less than a 6 ton jack stand, both for the factor of safety and height. These 12 ton dudes only need to be a handful of ticks high to get to the frame.
