I was just thinking that as well, Nolen.

Great work, Jason @Ozark cruiser

I like the correct hardware as well. Doesn't look like the Chinesium aftermarket kit parts.

Thanks, I love doing my best and working for a top notch customer and friend who likes and appreciates things down right

What did you soak it in?

acetone then sprayed bare metal matt clear coat on them to stop corrosion

That's definitely Nolen and John.

Wish all of us could have even one Nolen or John as clients. It would make this endeavor so much more enjoyable.

This truck is so impressive!

I’m just trying to learn because I have one…does anyone know if the factory painted the bolts originally? Not a slight or dig just an honest question. I think it looks great painted.

They were painted assembled from the factory so all the bolts were painted
