Yeah just the wheel wells right now. I started too late in the day, it got too cold to keep spraying. I'm gonna go get some more of that undercoating and more krylon and do the rest of the frame this coming weekend

Son. Get a cheap spray bottle. Add mineral spirits. Spray on frame. Agitate with steel wool. Spray. Wipe off. Looks new. You're welcome.
Did a little frame scraping, prepping, and painting in preparation for the new wheels. Stripped almost all of the undercoat off the front with a wire brush for a drill. It sucked and kept getting clogged. Also scuffed the body color part up top and used some duplicolor undercoat on that as well as the front xmember, sprayed the rest with krylon satin black
Didn't strip the rear, just scuffed with a hand wire brush and painted till I can figure out a better way to strip it. Also did the undercoat in the rear fenderwells. Gotta get one more can, ran out finishing the drivers rear so it's thin

Nice. Should get some fender liners in the rear. I love mine.
looks bueno zach. I did the front portion of the frame when I had it all torn apart for uca's and that made it much easier. and I just half-assed the back fenders and a little bit of the frame before a show one time lolol
that's all I did when I did mine :rofl: I plan to do cab-back if/when I ever pull the bed and the cab-forward if/when I ever get bored enough :rofl:
:hmm:
Hmmm....I'll give it a shot. Had a couple spots on the front that I wanna try to get better too
I was planning on those when I do the 1.5" bodylift along with the 2500 front liners. Did you use those on your gasser to hide the BL?
The liners are overall nice. The fit is decent but I have them tucked behind the lip of the fender to be a little cleaner then bolting them in
The factory goo wipes right off. Look at the thread on graysgraystone truck. Posted pics in there when I did my front end....
:shake: Thanks for the tip. Cuz that wire brush didn't work well at all

Ok, question. I'm looking for some new lug nuts for the new wheels and I'm planning on spacers (1.5") most likely, do I need a specific length lug nut? Or will anything work? Like these:

Standard ones will work, I have these.

To mount the spacers to the truck you will need standard open end lugs though.

most spacers come with lugs to mount spacer to hub... and then the lugs tony posted will work nicely to mount wheel to spacer. You may have to trim the nipple of the studs on the hub for the 1.5" spacers though. I've heard some say they had to and others that didn't. no biggie.
Depending on if the wheel has recesses on the back you'll have to trim the round part of stud. No thread. For some reason I despise spine nuts. I have cheap chrome hex. But I did buy non marring sockets for them. I suggest you look into the larger lugnuts because the holes are OE sized on those IIRC. Matt has his OE polished 22mm lugs on his 22s like that. Robbie probably could've hooked you up on those as well.
:shake: Thanks fellas. I don't really want the wheels to stick out much, that's why I'm going 1.5s instead of 2"
Yeah didn't think about asking him about lugs. No big deal tho. I actually kinda like the spline ones. I'm assuming these wheels will have the reliefs but if not, no big deal I'll just cut the nipple off each stud

Here's the best spacers I've found so far. Anybody got any better deals/links?

Yeah I had them on the rear. Have them on the dmax now
Mine just have 2 fender support bolts holding them in.
Same I have the lips tucked up behind the fender though and sometimes they pop out
