Sorry no pics of the "Carnage". I attempted to take some pics and they didn`t come out very well to show the damage. My truck is the Delmonico Red Pearl. I received a text yesterday and the damage is now over $8000 and will need a hood and some trim pieces. Only the roof, hood, drivers side were hit. The drivers side actually wasn`t hit very bad and I had a soft tri-fold cover on the bed which prevented the bed from being damaged. Oh well......it`s just stuff......Nah baloney. Just storms, it`s been a lot more active with the thunder storms this spring.

Over the last month or so, painted the stock wheels with plastidip. 2 tone, metalisizer over the black on the original chrome inserts. Dipped the badge chrome black. Installed Ionic side bars. Played in the woods.

Any runs at any heights? How is the ride?
im running spacers 1.5 frt and 2.0 rear, no rubbing at any level. Without spacers, slight rubbing at full lock (just plastic liner- trimming or heating liner would fix) when in entry-exit. the ride is good, feels more planted in my opinion.

Looks really good. I've got the wheels on my Mazda 3 dipped as well. They need to be redone but they've held up really well over the past 4/5 yrs that I've had it done. The only real peeling they've sustained has been due to tire rotations and changes from discount tire.

That's good to know. I was wondering how the dip would hold up. I've read good things about it. It looks good now and didn't cost much. Haven't taken the wheels off yet, but that is next up when I put a Daystar level on.

Soooo with all the "schlepping i had to do with my work being put in crates to & fro working from home, i wanted to make sure my cloth seats didn't get ruined so i went looking for a solution....

i bought these from Walmart of all places (online) i must admit for 40 bucks didn't expect much, but i was amazed....

they are a lot better than the chair pad i had put there to make sure no dirt or scratches got on the seat but they REALLY look nice too!

i mean, don't get me wrong, still a little ghetto BUT if u have a pet or have to put some thing on ur seat, these really protect them : ) and i've never posted a link in here for an item, don't even know if ur allowed to but IF ya are and IF ya wanna know the name, just ask : )
I'm going to give them a shot, thanks

I had a 2" level kit installed in mine yesterday. Now I need to decide for certain what tires I want, and if I will do them with aftermarket wheels right away or just put them on my stock chromies.

I am about to give mine a bath and vacuum all of the sand from the beach this past weekend. If the weather holds out I might dive into putting the passive entry parts on and my door speakers.
