Midwest West Meets/Midwest BS Thread

I actually don’t spray the wheel wells. Just the frame that I can see within the wheel wells

 

1st gen are worse imo
they just do not care
being as most of them are in CA AZ etc
warm weather states

 

i seem to fit in better with the 3rd gens lol
personality wise anyways

 

I’d definitely ff your frame and underside. Start doing it now, this year and every from here on out. Start doing it now while the frame is relatively clean and not rusty.

 

my frame i can see in there is CLEAN from always hosing routinely and never sprayed nothing on it!
but i most likely hosed some salty junk down inside the frame hole there many times

 

You have a lift!

 

Now you’ll never have to. The ff and the other stuff will repell anything from sticking it in the first place

 

relatively clean anyways, i do see some spots under the crappy paint
that may or may not just appeared this year when i changed washing methods

 

i need a lift!
dealer sent me a coupin for $39 oil change today
that is getting to the price point i would rather do it myself

 

Frame looks good. Like. Lift kit. Or a vehicle lift??

 

vehicle lift! it would make things somewhat more safe and convenient for me and my knees and neck, knees are needed for driving MT


have you tested the FF out with a high pressure air hose?
about 100psi, what does it do

 

I never have. Ie always just bought cans. The very first time I applied it, I used like 6-7 cans. I did this to really smother and cover everything. Every year since I’ve only used 4-5 cans......usually just 4

 

i bet your truck is very quick and fast, just glanced at your specs and saw that fancy exhaust you have under there and the quick shifter!

 

Yeah man it’s no joke. I recently put a smaller pulley on it and retuned it.

 

i see you also have one of those nice TRD battery hold downs from coupe in TX?

 

Yeah, it’s my second one. My first one was the “thin” one in black. This one is the thicker one. I got a new one cuz I was starting to put some silver accents on starting with the quickchange pulley. I also got the cai cover from coupe. That’s an awesome piece of bling. It fits the blower just right.

 

yesterday i finally found a good stretch of smooth highway with minimal traffic that was not decayed and uneven pavement to test the high speed.
cruising 90mph with no issues, no wobble, smooth as butter still as old as it is
the roads and freeways around here are total garbage and i don't trust going the posted speed limit on them even in light traffic
i suppose the Chicago area is no better

 

Put of a pic of your truck. One guy that was interested in my gold wheels has a 97 too I believe. That thing is awesome, great shape. The highways here by me are horrible too. 355 is fine but 55 is garbage.

 

October and July of this year


the paint does have a multitude of blemishes from this summers TW adventures in Wisconsin, will see how it comes out later this week after i try a Ming paint treatment and detail. I have to remove the mud flaps, wheel moldings and fender liners before i take it in as well as the hood protector
the wheels can use a refinishing too
