    Ok, so...fenders on order, took down all the interior head liner to get to the roof to bang out the damage. I'll keep it off, I'm going to rhino line it.
    Cleaned out the entire air intake system due to oil feed back when flipped. Checked all fluids and change, (not cheap btw)
    Bed will be coming off next for the frame to be welded up.

    To be continued. .....

    Its been awhile since I've posted anything, I'm to the point of deciding on what brand of coating I want to use on the exterior, hurculiner, rustolium, and a few others are available at orielly`s . Any known knowledge ? 20160810_182158.jpg 20160810_193809.jpg 20160810_182158.jpg 20160810_193809.jpg 20160810_182158.jpg 20160810_193809.jpg

    I have used them all. I build trailers as a hobby and this stuff works great for utility trailers.

    Ive had good luck with the harbor freight brand. With a 20 percent coupon, it's as cheap as Rustolium paint, but holds up better.

    Be warned, the stuff really stinks. Try to use it outside if the weather cooperates.

    I figured I'd try the expensive stuff, I'm going to use a rustolium for my trim and small things. ... 100$ a gallon, I'm going to get the most out of it..lol.

    No matter what I've tried, either my tail lights don't come on, or the hazards stay on with the turn signal ingaged. I got the turn signal to work, but not in conjuction with everything. Did I get the wrong ones, is this doable? Any help appreciated. Happy president day!

    Well fellas after getting my taco darn near done, I was hit and wrecked my taco, I contacted the mod. To see if he would let me put it up for parts, ( I don't have 50 posts). I've also got a steel bumper on the way from move.com to weld up, then I'll sell it too....... let my unfortunate situation, be your gain, lol.....I will sell parts for a fraction of the price, (if I can buy it back from the insurance company). Pics are of the outcome.
