roundsy's 05 daily hoe

Nice upgrade on the rims. I'm tossing around those (and a few others) to put on my '98.

The rust sucks but hopefully it's been caught early enough to not be too bad to fix!

Few updates:
Started debadging tonight but ran out of daylight and fishing line before I could finish the 2 door emblems


Pulled the chrome trim pieces off to colormatch until the OEM flares show up. Got tired of the chrome for the time being but NAPA mixed my paint wrong so they may just end up plasti-dipped. Also found that the passenger rear was the only spot that had bubbled paint under so that's was a nice surprise.


Randomly found a painted lift gate handle on egay so I grabbed that as well since the price was right. Bought a set of new fogs too since they were on the cheap and the z71 valance isn't happening until the spring unless I find a deal on one before then.

That's awesome that the only spot that had rust was the one wheel arch. she's lookin good

It definitely made me feel better once I found that out.

I'm also throwing around the idea of nnbs mirrors the hoe since tows will be going on my 08 RCSB. I've seen it done but I'm still on the fence about it

Threw the BMF/305s on the hoe last night to see how it would look. They cleared fine except in reverse at full lock. Ended up putting the gmc 20s back on because I liked how they looked more. When it's fully cm'd and has ford keys next spring I'll mount them again but there's too much going on right now with all the black trim pieces.

Went to Michigan today and brought my parts back across. Going to install them tomorrow if it's not raining.

Nice score!!

Got my flares too, forgot to post them. They are black smoothies but will be painted after this winter.

eBay lights' price ftw
eBay lights' fit ftl
The blinker bulb socket was no where close to matching the cutout in the lenses so they needed to be opened up with an exactoknife.
