My 5 Alarm Hoe

[Cattivo]

Love the mirrors but LOL at the SS badge...

Damn! I just finished de badging the truck and forgot to take those red ss emblems off the hood lol

I finally got sick and tired of looking at the ugly door molding and badges so I broke out the heat gun and went to work... passenger side and both barn doors took me literally 15 minutes to de badge including removing the PIA glue, the drivers side kicked the living shit out of me! my fingers have giant blisters from trying to remove the glue on the drivers side doors... I tapped out and called it a day, I'll wait till my 3M eraser wheel gets here to finish

Best part is, I don't need to worry about the paint getting swirl marks or scratches...I will be wet sanding and doing paint repair once the weather warms up







No more white sticker on the push bar

Thanks brother, I bought the Hoe for $1k and have about $4k into her so far... now i need to start installing everything i bought and get rid of all these damn boxes lol

Moneywise, you're still ahead of the game!

Next on my to do list is to get rid of the roof rails, gotta always stay ahead money wise

Still one of my favorite trucks on the site you might wanna consider pulling the side steps at some point, too. Makes the truck look taller without them. I know it did on Bertha!

Smart. I always plan ahaead and debadge before the first buff and wax of a newly purchased vehicle.

Just visualizing here,... remove rack and that spoiler thingy. Remove steps. Add fogs.
Maybe look into getting oem flares.

Thanks brother, I'm still undecided if I wanna remove the side steps and replace them with nerf bars. I may do a full 6'' suspension lift or a mild 3'' body lift, if I remove the side steps and do the body lift then it will show too much of the frame.

Nothing worse than one of those F350's pulling up next to you at a light and waving down at you lol

I always debadge my car/trucks, it just looks cleaner IMO...the paint is in bad shape, it looks like the PO washed the truck with a handful of gravel! my plan is to wet sand beginning at 800 grid and finish up with 2500 or 3000 grit then do a 3 step paint correction with my buffer

That Lund rear spoiler is an eye sore! it will be removed when the roof rails come off. As soon as I decide wether or not I'm going to lift it any higher all depends which flares I get... I plan on getting 35'' tires and going wider, 12 wide maybe

I was a professional detailer for 5 years. Worked in anything from accords to galllardos.
My buffer at home just took a crap after 8 years of abuse, so this spring I'll be on the search for a top of the line buffer.
I plan a scratch fill in and wet sand then 3 stage myself. Mine wasn't that bad to begin with.

Can't wait to see your black burst with shine . Nothing better than perfect black paint.
