| The set they have covers the sides and hood. I think I am going to give them a try. I just took the truck to a carwash and sprayed it down. It's hard to tell without sunlight but it looks like I only got two significant scratches, one on the drivers door and one on the drivers rear. Ripped off a mudflap too, but after seeing how it looks I think I'll take the other one off too.
I've been thinking of a name for her, and after yesterday I am leaning toward "Janine", after janine Garofalo....they are both tree huggers!

| Good news and bad news. Good news - just about everything buffed out and looks great. Bas news, the drivers side "scratch" is a 2' long dent...think I will just put some touch up paint on it so it doesn't rust and probably leave it for now.

| It has its high points and lows...lol. It looks good from afar but far from "good" at the moment. But it'll get there. The OEM rims was a good start. I love the rig.
Next... fire extinguisher !

| On another note I took the 40 to the farm to see if i could get the front tire to tuck so I can measure to get new bumb stops, that didn't work. I can see that the BFG A/T's are just not going to make the cut. I just could not get any grip. So if you know any one that is looking for a brand new used pair of 32x11.50x15 BFG A/T's I'll make them a good deal. | |
