What are you washing it with?
 
That is cool. I switched them last year and not looking back. Dylan seems like a really cool guy. i just sent him some Light it up Blue for Autism decals i had cut the other night.

awesome, i actually sent him the picture you posted about it. I too switched to Adams over a year ago and love it. Some things I've found comparable and cheaper but other stuff i still stick to Adam's. I am impressed by their polishes and just about everything they make.
 
Paint keeps getting contaminated :ybrick: :ybrick: :ybrick:

I guess I shoulda plastiderped it haha

I'm dealing with this with my rear hatch piece. I spray, then look to see a damn fly land on it. I'm going to start all over tomorrow. If I have to, I'll Plasti Dip as a last resort lol
 
Rebuilt and refinished the lower control arms with poly bushings. Rubber ones were shot plus I had a frozen alignment cam (you can see one bushing missing from having to cut the frozen cam bolt out, part won't be in til Monday). Radflo 2.5 kit goes in tomorrow!

Did this unfreeze your cam bolt? Also what bushings did you buy? I need to do this my cam bolts are frozen.

Post some pics when you install the radflo!

Curious as to why you wouldn't do the lower ball joints if you've made it that far with it. I'm in the same situation where I just put my lift on and can't align it well due to the bolts being frozen. Bought a pair of new control arms from Raybestos for $300 that had new bushings and LBJ's already installed in them. I've got most of the hardware that I need now, just need to get on the lift to do this.
 
I'll contribute LOL...does it have to be today? how about the last few days

Painted and installed my BAMF skids. I went with graphite to match my sidesteps yet be dark enough to not be too noticeable. I went ahead and painted my factory skid too.

A reciprocating saw freed up the cam bolt haha. I got the energy suspensions poly bushings and followed zachattacks walk through. The alignment cams are a dealer only part if you can't unfreeze them.

My lower ball joints are fine. The boots have just started to weep so I'm rebooting them with fresh grease. I was going to just get new arms but really wanted to try out the poly bushings after the terrible bushing degradation of the rubber OEM units. Time will tell if it was worth the effort. New arms would have been much simpler. That's for sure!

If you can't unfreeze the cams and end up removing them with a blade, def have the backups on hand before rendering the truck inoperable. Only the dealer warehouses seem to have them so it takes a day or two to get them. Learned this the hard way!
 
Truck's looking great!

Man I really gotta get up that way and get outdoors sometime!

Thanks Matt. I really like the look of the LCA skids too. Although, the drivers side still isn't 100% complete due to a huge bump at the weld on the LCA. I'll have to grind that down to get it to line up properly. You have any such issues?

You should def come up here sometime. Lots of camping sites and biking/hiking trails.
