    Hey all, so when I have a date and time picked out for fixing the truck I'll post it up in here for a mod day. There will be lots of initial work but not a whole lot to do while I'm welding. So I might make it 2 days, one for disasembly and one for reassembly.

    But I have figured out the way I want it done and it is going to be a bit labor intensive. But who ever is willing would be awesome. And thanks to Tom and Kyle for the quick responses. :)

    Damn those are some good looking sliders! :D Can't wait to see the final product!

    Being at work is no good, especially since there is work to do on your rig!

    So was changing parking light bulbs and this happened on both sides. Guess I'm do BHLM now. What type of paint do you use on the reflector?

    Alright all............So Mod/Major repair day at Cloudy's house...

    Dec 3rd at 10am. Plan is to tear down the whole front end of the truck and prep it so that I can get under it to weld and repair the crack in the frame and then plate it. Mainly gonna be a tear down meet. Apologize for it being a Tuesday but I have no weekends that will work with the home schedule. Please do not feel obligated in any way to come and help. Just sucks that I work weekends.

    Let me know if you all want to help or can make it. Again no worries if you cant.
