I wanted to wait on the good shit but had to take the wheel off anyway and decided just to do it now..used rustoleum undercoat so we will see how it holds up, shit sprays on brown then dries black
At first I was like :ayfkm: but then it dried and I was like :better:
 
I bought some Brakleen to get most of the grime and road shit and cv grease off the just cleaned it really good with a towel and some cleaner
Let it dry real good and spray the undercoat
Bert be in the same spot as mine :bertstare:
Not the same angle :bertstare: :cheeky:
 
What's next man?

No clue really lol
hopefully shave the gate here soon as I'm probably gonna be picking up a donor gate tomorrow for $60
Then lca's if this bedcover would ever sell and maybe some wheels if I find a really good deal but I'm thinking about just saving for tbss reps

Ah gotcha, ready to see that shaved gate. Your other is still under our back patio lol...I'd love to find a donor cheap to use to keep from messing mine up but never can find one.

I've seen your bed cover on Craig's a few times lol...you just get tired of it? What clamps did you use to hold it on? I just got one and need to figure it out. TBSS reps would look good! That the only wheel you've thought about?
 
Yea I just prefer the look without it.. I liked it at first but it got old lol
I just used the hardware that came with it, it has a little hinge thing at the front and prongs on the cover that fit in it and allow it to go up and down then it has a place for the struts
I really want some billets and if I can find some used ones for cheap(ish) lol i really like tbss reps but I'm not dead set on them..I've grown to be really picky about wheels haha

Ah gotcha. If you get a chance take a pic of them for me. Mine is brand new but was bought from an auction so I'm not sure if everything is there. It did have keys, shocks, etc and was still attached to pallet so maybe I'm just not putting 2 and 2 together lol.....billets would be sick if you can keep your eye out for a deal. I'd prolly be saving and trying to do that.
