    Awesome. I just picked up those 15" rims I had pictured earlier in the tread and I'm attached to them. If my research is correct, I believe this upgrade requires 16" rims minimum.

    After rust is removed, wiped down with Sure Wipe pre-paint prep and primered with the same self etching primer I used on the floor of the cab.

    Then after two coats of bed liner in the wheel well and behind the fender.

    For today my goal is to get the inside of the other 3 doors cleaned, spread the inside of the doors with Rust Check, lube all mechanisms inside the door with appropriate lube and put the rear doors back together.
    Front doors have to wait for the door lock cylinders to arrive. Perhaps tomorrow they will be in.

    Drivers Door cleaned up and spayed with Rust Check
    Both Passenger side doors are cleaned up and the inside is ready to be sprayed with Rust Check.
    I put the new grill on temporarily.
    I also put the front bumper back on.
    I didn't do anything to make the bumper better but I can remove it later and clean it up. I am pressed to get the truck up and running asap
