Well I removed the side moldings today and all the dirt and junk that was caught in there made a nice yellow stain on the paint in a few places so now I need to figure out how to get it off. Any suggestions? I bought some mothers fine cut cleaner (I think that was the name) but the buffer I have is a piece of $hit, so I'll have to buy another one.

Nice looking truck, those gears should look good on it.
I like the look of em without those moldings, the doors look nice when naked lol.

Maybe try taking a clay bar to the entire body, I know mothers makes a kit that comes with everything you need.

I've never tried it, but the principal is the same. The yellow streak remover (boat hull cleaner from starbrite) should take it right off as well.

Big fender mod is easy. Trim bumper is easy too. Looks real good when done right.

Can you send me a pic of your front bumper so I can see the angle you trimmed it at?

I got the wheels put on and she rubs like a SOB. So doing the large fender mod will done in the morning. Hopefully I don't screw it up haha. Any tips?

Well I got the large fender mod done this morning. Probably only spent a hour and half or so all said and done. Wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. Using a sawzall probably wasn't the best tool for the job though haha. The wheels and tires fit much better now but still have a little rubbing at near full lock. So I think I'm going to crank the torsion bars a little bit more (truck doesn't even sit level yet so I've got a little bit of room to play with).
