    I started on the toolbox today. Sanded it down but didn't use self etching primer. I used that stuff on my wheels and they still chipped down to the bare aluminum in places so I figured I'd go to town without any. Worst case I have to recoat it sooner. I'm not worried about it. I'll do my rear bumper on my next day off.

    Never knew about these! I might take my trim off the rockers now

    I resemble that remark! I went through the decal and paint on my rear fender flare ;) Will have to try it again...if only to remove the pin stripes.

    I'm sure they would. I think I'll keep them instead. I couldn't believe they stayed on craigslist as long as they did without someone else buying them. As soon as I read the post I called the guy and asked where he wanted to meet.

    Nice, I got 20mpg last Friday. Definitely think the summer mixture has to do with it. Got 15-17 in the winter. With my personal worst towing a boat and gear for an overnight....12. :(
