that fender drastically improved the look of your truck, tires look good on there as well, but now get rid of that chrome fuel door!

Aww, I kinda like the fuel door!

Thanks for the compliments, though. Just wait until it's 5/7'd

((This suspension talk will now be a running gag. Lul.))

Okay. That looks good as ****. Makes me want to shave it, but I don't want the filler in the bed, lol.

And I see what you did with those tails. Soon, dude. Let me massage the kinks first.

Btw, now my slightly cold leftover ac is no longer cold at all, which means I need to get a kit and track down the leak that I'm sure exists, now... :/

I want it done properly. No leak seal, just uv additive, find the problem, fix the problem, rebuild the blend box and replace cores, get it properly refilled, be good for another decade+

Hence why I said "wait till its Five/seveN'd"

Better yet, wait till it's bagged with custom paint. I'll drive up and we can compete at a show. Haha.

But on a more serious note, I'm at the laundromat right now, and just finished washing some MF stuff on cold. Now, what's the proper protocol for temps? Chem guys says hot wash to open fibers and release contaminates, and low heat dry is safe.

But Ramportin1 (who is now a missing persons case) says cold wash only and no heat/air dry otherwise the fibers will burn and char, subsequently scratching paint.

Also, should I wash an MF towel that got gas or thick adhesive tape **** on it, or is it dead? (I didn't wash these two because I didn't want to damage the others)

if a MF towel touches the ground its dead to me, so tape and all that other mess, yes id say its dead, at least as far as paint goes...

washing MF towels i use the MF wash from CG, but washing is cool to slightly warm wash, and drying, i dry them with no heat, or you can do very low heat for like 15 mins, but that all depends on the dryer, but to be 100% safe to them on no heat

Spent this weekend Raptor Lining my 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT. This 14 year old truck had lots of Arizona Pin striping from being out in the desert and had pretty bad hail damage on the roof and hood. The paint toner I used was supposedly PBT to be Patriot Blue which was my original color, jsut so I didnt have to paint the door jams and all that but clearly it didnt turn out PBT, its a little lighter. Oh well, maybe ill paint over it in the future but for now it looks like a brand new truck. New headlights come in, in two days so dont mind the old stock ones. Was planning on doing all the chrome black, but now seeing it I kind of like the chrome with this color.

Try using those on your polished panels and see if they swirl it. For now, I'm gonna go cold wash and hang-dry indoors. Of course, using MF specific soap.
