Oh I here ya. I've got 20,000 and counting sq ft of boulder walls to install already, two house demo's and a bunch of smaller jobs to do as well. The weather can turn any time now.

It's starting to get me down lol.

It was parked in the shop since November and I just got it out again. They don't put salt down this late out where I drive it so I'm not too worried about it. She will get a thorough cleaning/ detail soon. I work all over the twin cities so you might see me cruising home or to a job. Probably going to drive the regular cab a lot more when its done to keep the Crew nice as possible.

This regular cab will be my winter truck once its done. I did a bunch of rust prevention on the insides of the doors and sealed all of the pinch welds/folds, etc before it was painted. And with the QS bed fenders being fiberglass it will be pretty tough for those to rust.

Thank you!

Yeah when I was looking for beds this one came up.... the bed sides are plastic so they won't rust through. :thumb: Also I paid 700 bucks for the bed and he delivered it to me from Duluth (about 3 hours) Couldn't find a better deal.

There was a bunch of rust prevention on this truck done before it was painted... bottom of the doors, along the hood, etc since I will be driving it in the winter. Did some rock guard on the rockers and a couple other little things.


I have another set of BMF 22x10.5 chrome Rehabs (same as on my Crew) but I really like the Gear Alloy 726's with 33x12.5 Toyos for this truck. May
try to sell the BMF's to get the Gear Alloys so I don't have the same wheels on both trucks. Only thing is the 726's are on backorder now.

These are the 726's and 33x12.5 Toyos I would like to run eventually:

My thoughts were about running wider rear tires that would still looked "tucked under" those q-steer fenders.

I gotcha.... they would tuck in great!


In the winter with stock wheels the truck will stay a ton cleaner too.

Until I put spacers on :rofl:

All shaved:





Back glass in



Front glass in



Outside, doesn't look too Pearly... which is what I wanted.



Ready for paint





New crossmember blasted and ready for some paint



Before clear



Done.





And we're supposed to get another 3-10 inches of snow. This is unbelievable.

Mother nature - If you're trying to show off I'm not impressed.



If all goes well the bed will be on tomorrow after I color-sand it and it gets buffed out.

Well we've got about 6" so far so I went to the shop and put my handles and mirrors together since I'll need to get up soo to plow anyways.

:mad:

No flash:

I didn't push the mirrors all the way in because the paint is still not fully cured.
