Ha ha. When I was a kid my dad used to bake painted parts in the stove and wash parts in the dishwasher. My mother was never happy about that.

 

She couldn't smell anything by the time she got home, it wasn't too bad

Washed the old **** today for two car shows this weekend

 

Rented a fender roller so I can quit chewing up my nice tires.




Whoever used this 6 lug adapter last really bent the **** out of it somehow. May throw it in the press to flatten it back out

 

dam that thing looks like they ran it over lol

i had to roll the lips on my last 04, careful with that heat gun not to burn the paint and little bend at a time

how much rubbing you got in the front? did you do any thing to add clearance?

 

Yeah it's a fine line between not enough heat and the paint cracking like on my old truck... The fronts are stock, I don't rub up there with the 275/40/20 tires, but the 45 series did rub on bigger bumps

 

that low with no rubbing? does the suspension bottom out 1st?

 

I don't really drive the truck down crappy roads, and if I do, I drive slow

Got them rolled to my liking. Didn't feel the need to make them completely flat, and only did the radius of the roller instead of trying to go around the whole fender like I did on my black truck. This should alleviate all my issues

Before:



After:



I actually went back and flattened it out more after that picture was taken

Outside stayed nice



Only a very slight hint of a pull in the middle only on the passenger side, which works out because the axle was shifted to that side anyway.

 

that looks good

 

Got 2nd place at the show today for truck/suv class




...and got a cummins gift bag. There is a personalized plaque but they will mail it to me later once my name is on it

 

i have to ask if you cam in 2nd what did you loose to? truck is looking killer
