Wrapping this up. Rear looks much cleaner. Little paint correction and waxing really smoothed out the hatch.

Fender and door are now fixed, what an eyesore that was. Now those 2 panels look way better that the rest of the truck. I am seriously considering just wrapping the whole truck.
Prepping for The San Juan's later in the month getting some stuff wrapped up on the roof mounted up the 8'X8'awning. Works great with the @prospeed rack.

Looks good! Been debating on the Prospeed, Prinsu style racks vs. the Gamiviti Expo++. Price is main concern then wind noise. Will eventually put an Overland Pros Wraptor 4k on it but that will likely be it.
What paint did you use on your rims? Thinking I may give mine a shot for either a darker grey or dark bronze (if I can find one I like).

I really like the Prospeed rack, seems lower profile than the other options. The wheels are actually plastidipped, I did them 2 years ago and they have held up well.

I have dropped my rear bumper on one to many pieces of slick-rock and it was hanging on by just a couple bolts. I thought maybe I could repair it and clean it up and put it back on but I fear its too far gone. So now I am hunting for a rear. I am leaning towards a Dissent but they are like 3 months out and I haven't even heard back from Ben on the ordering procedure. Looks like I can go ARB with only a couple weeks delay so I may go that route for the short term. Glad to see there was no rust on the rear rocker panels. Here is how it looked when I pulled the bumper cover, I mean when it fell off.
After getting the area cleaned up.
I didn't like looking at the tire even in the short term, so I cut the wings off the top plate. I started trying to be gentle with the jigsaw but then ended up just using the sawzall and the angle grinder to clean it up.
After
and the pile grows...

Couple of the before pictures of the old bumper.
After seeing plenty of the battles with rust on these trucks, I was glad to see this rear rocker looking so good. Looks like I need to fix some plastidip from where I hugged that tree.

I had purchased a Compustar FMX 2 way Remote Start system for my 2013 F150 (smokin deal and free installation). Well to install it they need two keys. So 15 minutes at Ford and $350 later I have a new key with instructions on how to remote start the truck, derp. Having already paid for the unit, I talked with the guy at Best Buy to kind of feel him out, as I know some people have had bad experiences with some of their installers. He seemed pretty talented and confident he could do on the Truckster. That being said the unit seems to work really well on my 02.
Update: After a few weeks of use on the Compustar unit I can report that it works great, can start the truck up to 3000 feet away. The 2 way fob is super handy as it gives regular feedback on how long the truck has been running.

All The Small Things. Maybe that should be the name of my thread. After 3 years of the mirror falling off when my shorty of a wife drove the cruiser the spring complete sheared in 2. $14 later ($12 in shipping) and a about 6 days (Partsouq) I have a new spring. The screw in the mirror itself was rounded out completely so I was able to get it out and cut a slot in it for a flat blade screwdriver to get it actually tight. For the record it held up with the Gorilla tape for that 6 days just fine. Still wobbled just a bit.

SILVER Star
Nearly 4 years too late, but thanks for this idea to tighten up the ends. One out of the four came out good for me, the rest leave a little to be desired. Was going to take it off and was envisioning a sort of Star of David cross stitch to pull the sides in. This makes more sense.
love the build. Just reading it now, hope the story ends well!

Thanks. Hard to believe its been more than a year and a half since I last posted. Currently chasing an intermittent traction control activation (Trac flashing and brakes applied). Starting with replacing the front ABS/Speed sensors. Then on to tie rod ends. Wish me luck.

Tackled the Front Speed/ABS sensors this last weekend. After Spraying the sensors with PB Blaster for a week and a half the passenger side came out relatively easy. The drivers side on the other hand broke and I had to do the dreaded digging out the old one. 3 hours later and it was out here is what's left of it:
Glad I didn't have to pull the rotor and hub but DAMN...

i have to admit to coming into this thread really recently since it just surfaced again...but I can't express how disappointed I was that your 100 isn't metallic Spring green with wood grain vinyl on the sides. I AM glad, however, that there isn't a leash and collar attached to the rear bumper

I recently installed these LEDs in the Brake/Rear light housing and the Reverse lights. Big improvements over the old school filament type bulbs.
