    Also, rig was painted but we didn’t like the fairing or one side so it’s being redone. I spent 6+ hrs sanding yesterday!

    Ok ladies, need your opinion. “Iron Cross” cut into the front of the bumper. I’m NOT a fan. My liberal father says it’s great and he’d leave it. I’m thinking I cut it out leaving a rectangular hole which can be “filled” with a mesh (weld it in from behind) or even left open. There isn’t...

    Oh- the diamond plate... Autoglo said it’s tough to get the paint to stick to diamond plate. I’ll either have it powder coated or dipped

    I’m not sure what the brand is but because it wouldn’t fit inside the booth the shop said a single stage enamel would provide the best results.... and it looks amazing. The shop said the paint is extremely hard and should last a lifetime with care. Yes! ! I am installing the UJOR kit myself...

    Spare tire smaller than the tires on the truck?

    I think the risks would be mostly instability and the truck wanting to pull one direction. That assuming an open differential. If it’s a simple open diff, meaning it’s just a set of gears in there (one wheel wonder we used to call it), then it won’t make any real difference, as if you were just...

    E350 Quigley HELP

    Weird- they are more $$ now. Still at $1300 they are a savings. That said, for that much I’d just buy a UJOR bumper- all aluminum.

    E350 Quigley HELP

    I ordered an “iron cross” bumper. Detest the giant logo on the front but will be cutting it it and welding a bit of mesh in behind the opening. Should look cool and show off the winch a bit. It was about $950 shipped and all the reviews are actually very good. It’s thick, has a single bush...

    Then I got quotes of $3k to $5k for a wrap. Yikes! So I decided to have it painted... sanded the whole thing and prepped for paint:

    Initially thought it would be wrapped, so I buffed out the whole truck. Looked pretty good: You can see the before/ after on these doors:

    The 1st thing was to make it look less like an ambulance so the neighbors would quit starring and wondering who had a stroke. I really struggled with who to buy from but was certain I wanted it lifted- lockers or 4x4, better wheels and tires, and a wrap or paint. After speaking with several...
