Spray painting is best left to professionals or semi pros like me You do the prep and buy the paint, bring it by my shop and ill shoot it for free.
Soo Alex, maybe I'll be droppin my rig off in late july when I go on vacation for you to do. I'll try to design a mock-up of what I'd like and you could price me and tell me what products to get...I'll be on vacation so it'll give you a week and a few days to take your time

Guys...as much as I can use parts off this 95, someone BUY IT! It is well worth what Frost is asking. Runs good, looks good. The interior is MINT. Full lift kit with uppers/lowers/disconnects.

Someone go get it and save it from us vultures.
I'd like to see it sold and wheeled, but at same time, I am one of the vultures

they're very simple to install and look good. You MUST have a full cage installed though - the roof is structural on these trucks

I seen the install is simple enough, and would do a full cage inside. Just would like to see one in person before committing to it

You should've been to my bonfires back home before I joined the army. In the middle of Cleveland, 15ft flames in the backyard. Melted the siding on the garage once, homemade firebombs set the fence on fire once, and I've had the fire department called on me twice
thats funny, just today i was cutting some aluminum and i had a nice little pile of aluminum powder and i though....hmmm don't you make thermite out of aluminum powder and rust powder??

sounds awesome! ill post up some pics when i get some time of my bonfires from back home...and our super soaker flame throwers lol

i've never found someone running it to see in person. Best you're probably gonna get are pictures.

This one is a bit closer - basically from what he said - cut a big *** hole, drill 1/8" holes around the edge, run a bead of sealer, set the frame, and screw it down, and that's it

lol there is no "try" with that mod. Once you start cutting the hole you're committed to it forever.

That's easily the sexiest cage I've ever seen. See how it wraps the center area and everything............ AHHHHHHHHH, so nice.



Take any pictures of this PO **** up you speak of Jake?
