Oh I like! Welcome! Why don't you power wash the frame and spray that down so it's all one color while your at it painting.
 
Thanks guys!

I have thought about doing a lot of painting on my undercarriage because I do have some rust spots coming up... Its on the list!
 
Looking good! I'd wire wheel and paint the outer axle flange behind the drums too while you're at it. You get enough rust there and it makes it a ***** to get the drums off without using the bolt in the threaded hole method.
 
CB and B&M

Installed the CB in the ashtray and B&M external trans cooler this weekend (no pink milkshake for me!)

Had tranny fluid flushed today, and doing engine coolant flush saturday. Getting the major maintenance stuff out of the way then onto a lift and tires!
 
Also, no budget for lift right now sadly.. But next week I'm putting on new OEM shocks and getting Toyo open country A/T 2's put on :D
 
Got the new OEM suspension, got an appt set up to get Toyo A/T 2's this wednesday, question- should i paint my rims charcoal grey? i really like the look.
 
It's been a while

I got busy with school and shit and haven't had much time for my truck. I moved out of my parents house last weekend and figured I'd post some pics in front of the new house. I got new Tires a few months ago- Toyo AT2's. love them.
Going to make a storage box and maglite holder for my trunk soon, plus valve cover gaskets and maybe color match the fender flares

Valve cover Gaskets!

Finally got around to fixing my leaky gaskets today. Took about 5 hours, not too bad. Inside of my engine was clean so thats a plus. Cleaned stuff as i put it back together too. So far so good. No oil!

So i ran seafoam through my vacuum line today, not much smoke at all. I guess i must have a clean engine:bravo:
I was also looking and realized i really need to mount my CB mic somewhere... idk where though. Any ideas?
 
cleaning day

So today I got out the pressure washer and cleaned my frame and undercarriage, found out how bad my rear sag is

Update

Its been a while since the last update, Within the last few weeks I got the Limited fenders and body panels color matched, gave her a detail job, and got the front windows tinted to match the back. I also started on wire wheeling and painting my frame but ran out of paint then left for the beach so I haven't gotten around to finishing that yet.





Window tint


Starting on the frame
 
also have some rear '99 tall springs and rear bilstein shocks inbound from [MENTION=93512]MojaveMadMan[/MENTION] :bravo:
 
'99 talls

Got '99 talls installed, truck rides sooo much better, also got the front windows tinted


Installation was pretty easy and straight forward too:
