So the DMW doesn't do registrations on the weekend so I spent the weekend on the wheels, removing the wood trim and removing the running boards. Here's a pic back at the DMV on Monday Morning. I like it a lot better without the boards on it. I might do a small nerf or skid plate though. What do you think?

really easy. just take them off, and clean them first with a de-greaser, then soap and water. I primed them with two coats and then put 3 coats of aluminum rustoleum paint. I was going to sand but figured it's not a show truck and I'll probably have to repaint in a few years anyway. Easy job.

Well sanding has a purpose. Paint sticks to the surface not just because it's clean, but through either a chemical or mechanical bond. The fine scratches put in by the sandpaper give the paint something to bite on to. Like Spiderman climbing a skyscraper. Some paints have an etching device built in which helps form a chemical bond. Generally sanding is a better way to go, not just to smooth the surface, but for long lasting adhesion.

Sometimes they seek each other out. Had to go for a drive in the rain tonight.

Sanding paint confuses me. I thought it's for removing paint before re-painting, I think that's the scenario you're stating to OP here?
But then I've heard new cars often need wet sanding because of factory spray jobs that had defects. That part I don't understand.

Paint when applied is not very even across the surface even if it looks it or feels like it. So, even if it's a brand new car, a good wet sand can really bring out the full potential of the paint job. Yes, you're removing a bit of paint, but just enough to get it down to a smooth surface.
Think of it like sanding down rough wood.

Congrats, looks like a great find!
I like the look so far, it definitely looks much better w/out the running boards.

What you need to understand is that sanding new car paint involves using very fine sandpaper, 1000-3000 grit, and then buffed to shine. This only removes minor imperfections in paint, it won't always save a poor paint job. Almost every high quality paint job gets "color sanded" then buffed.

That thing looks as clean as they come! My Minnesotan rig and I are super jealous. Stoked to see where you go with the build-- is it a daily driver?

Thanks! I searched forever for it. It's a daily driver, actually replacing the role previously played by the bronco behind it. I'm not going to go crazy on it, but it's going to be more a "rig" than a "truck" I love what everyone is doing with theirs and I want to take many of the mods and custom things others do and apply it to mine. I really love these 3rd gens! I also love early broncos too.
