There is a guy on youtube that plastidips the fronts of cars to protect from bugs.


Installed new tires today.

I was going to plasti dip the front but I'm going to order the white so it doesn't look so awkward.

A friend told me they sell white at ace hardware, but you have to buy the custom color kit and mix some white and clear together.

Baby got new shoes.
American Eagle 18x9 wheels and 315/70/18 Toyo Open Country MT's. Toyo said they are 35.7" tall when mounted but not installed on the truck. They were actually 35" even, mounted but not installed (don't know what happened to the .7"). They only squated 1/4" when installed. I gained 1" of height over the 317/70/17 BFG AT's.

Started the body lifting. Tomorrow gonna lift it and install the hardware. Its not as intimidating but the damn fan shrouds pissed me off.... I accidently hit my new radiator n bent some metal thingies and a brittle vaccume line snapped so i will have to fix it... Who uses plastic for vacume lines that will turn brittle...

Yeah I did the body lift. The steering extension acted like it was gonn be a PITA but it was actually easy. I'm push button 4WD so I didn't have to worry about shifter linkage. I've heard that's a b****. The shroud gave me the absolute most trouble, that and relocating the rear bumper.

6" Rough Country RCX is all I have. The taller tires clear everything easily.

the plastic lines are used because they hold their shape with out needing supports for long lengths. they get old some times.

They last longer than rubber hoses too. He should be thankful he isn't working on some 80s carburetor with 3 miles of vacuum hoses. :rofl:


Finally put my new cap on today. Here is picture of the of the old one :)

unknown at this time.
like the old Nissan's or toyota's i think. hose routing label was like a damn maze with like almost 2 dozen or more all going to the same block mounted on the firewall. crazy stuff but it did the job mechanically for emmisions what electronics did for it in the '90's.
