    My experience with mud is that even after spending a bunch of time cleaning there is always more. Even years later a hidden chunk will always fall in your eye or the thing you are trying to work on without warning.

    I got the truck buttoned up last night. Need to do another pass for vacuum leaks and should probably reset the ECU so it can adjust to the new injectors quicker. Still feels like the idle is slightly off but it's pretty hard to tell.

    Yes. And then 99.9% of the time pieces of it will fall exactly where you dont want it. My luck would be right into the valvetrain!!

    Gonna be a lot of work to get to that point. Since the wheel is 9" wide to begin with I'm gonna cut it down with the help of my buddy before I weld the inner ring on.

    That's correct. Instead of welding to the outer lip of the wheel I plan to cut that off and weld the ring inward

    No, I attached the LED license plate bracket to the tailgate with actual fasteners...then ziptied the plate to that bracket because I didn't have any nuts/bolts on hand that would easily attach the plate to the bracket
