    Hello everyone,
    I'm a first time modder with trucks, I've modded a few parts on my Harley but nothing major. I will be parting out an 03, 4x4 xcab I picked up from a friend. A dui driver hit him and bent the frame and some passenger side front end damage. I bought it to make the bed ito a trailer and some parts, but my neighbor said i have to get rid of the engine stuff and cab before we can start the build on the trailer. So I will be taking more photo's and removing more parts. Is it a good idea to drain the fluids or just leave them its been sitting for about a year. Any suggestions, tips, or gp info would be great.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Seeing that you are in AZ, it wouldn't hurt to drain them. If you are scrapping the motor you will need to do that anyway.

    Hello, I recently painted the front and rear bumper flat black it looks pretty good but when I did my stock rims with rim specific paint. I really liked the semi shine look so I think I will redo the bumpers. I 've seen several versions with the rustolium and bed liner products. I like the look but I think something smoother would work better due to the desert climate. Any thoughts? :cookiemonster:

    I would also like to paint the plastic trim piece above the bumper black I hear a plasti dip is good any got pic's?:)
