Let the elbow grease and sore fingers commence.














What did you use to get the adhesive from the moulding off? Very clean removal.

My thumb and small dabs of goo gone LOL.

There are better methods out there but I didn't have an eraser wheel or anything else when I did it.

Thumb works... it's just RAW once done

I did the fender flares last weekend.... looking for a little better solution the second time around as my thumbs are also raw...

I ran across those 3M wheels, I think I'll try that for the side moulding.

There are some small lines left, but I'll wax and buff and see if they go away. I guess that's what happens when the truck is 10 years old...hah.

Well said goodbye to the race truck today. Traded it in for a good DD/winter vehicle for me. Time to start modding the Joe Gibbs

Still got all the performance parts except the converter so the Joe Gibbs is going to see some serious love this winter. Already got a 4l80 core lined up for $100 from a good friend.
