    Yes, originally I was given a pickle fork to use, it just craps up your ball joints, hence my new used UCAs, luckily for free! But this tool just holds against spindle and pushes on center of ball joint bolt not damaging at all. Soooooooo much easier. I found it in a thread on here after the first time I did my suspension, wish I knew from beginning

    Right on. I sprayed my stock tails and 3rd brake lens with VHT nightshade and it looked good at first but over time with the sun the tint started to crack and flake and just made them look horrible. So I bought the tails and 3rd brake light back in April as a birthday gift to myself.

    On another note. My wife keeps saying I need a credit card for emergency's and what not (I know right? 30 years old and still no credit card, lol) so I told her if I get one and need to build credit up more then I'm gonna use it to get a new radio for the truck so I may be doing that soon. Right now I'm looking at the Pioneer AVHX4600BT. I had a cheaper Pioneer unit years ago and the sound quality didn't seem as crisp and clear like the stock JBL unit did. Anyone know why that would be? I'm not a sound guy, as I have said previously, I'm not good at wiring or anything, only mechanical and some body work. I feel that the JBL speakers and sub sound great so I don't feel the need to replace them but would like a double din so I can listen to my ipod and install a back up camera. I'm open to all input and suggestions.

    So all of my wrapping plans went to shit cause the wrap ended up ripping mid process on the parts I wanted to do so I may get some more and try it again or have it done at an auto wrap place. Anyways, the ac plate is the only part that came out nice.

    Noice. I'm using laminx tint on my fogs. For looks and protection. Might get my headlights done professionally. Then getting LED bulbs for both

    Right now I'm in touch with a local wrap shop to get the interior pieces wrapped since mine kept ripping mid process. Hopefully it isn't too much and I'll be able to get them done within the next few weeks.

    Haha, thanks man! Out of everything on my ride that's the one thing that gets the most compliments. My zombie bedside decals faded really badly so I removed those a few weeks ago. This is the only zombie thing left on the truck and I like it too much to get rid of it :)

    Do it man! For the lettering, I just used scrapbook letters you can get at an hobby shop and then just used pliers to pull them off so the paint wouldn't smear by using my fingertips. Other than that I used krylon fusion paint since it adheres to plastic better. And for the blood I used enamel model paint. Just poured some red on a plate and added a drop of black and mixed it. Once it was the color I wanted I used a brush to fling the paint on, used the brush to smear it as well and just used my fingers for the bloody fingerprints. I didn't use a clearcoat so that way it would get a weathered look over time

    So I knew that tinting my fog lights would restrict the light output but damn! I turned them on the other day on my way in to work and I couldn't even tell that they were on with the 6k hid's in them! So I just ordered some amber colored tint film for them from Lamin-X and once the film comes in I'll strip the spray tint off the fogs and put the tint film on. I think the amber will look a lot better too instead of the black cause with the black you can't even really tell that I have fog lights, lol
