I started peeling mine off and the paint didn't quite match. That and it looked like it was going to take at least a few hours to get all the glue and debris off the door. I decided to be lazy and said F it...

that is one thing. youll have to give it a good wax to match that paint or atleast try to match it. that paint underneath will look brand new. might have to take a light compound to the truck like megs ultimate compound and wax and polish it up.

Not trying to be a smartass but you should tackle that rust on the drivers side before it spreads like my ex GFs legs. That would be my first priority.

Love that mudding picture BTW!

I'd pull the bug guard, throw some kind of rust stop on that door if you can't fix it soon, and get some newer nice Fx4 or 4x4 decals. You could also do an LED interior swap and possibly some colored under dash lights

lmao. i like that.

but like he said. you can spend a ton of money on mods and stuff but if the truck rusts out there wont be a truck to buy mods for lol.

i just replaced my drivers rocker a few months ago. only cost me $200. i did everything myself. gotta do the passenger rocker now and this weekend ill be pullin the bed off the truck to weld new support beams on. whole bed is getting POR-15 underneath.

thanks for the quick replies guys! and yea i know i gotta do something about that rust... stupid kansas 75 degrees on day snowing the next... and the trim, whats the best way to get it off, im kinda worried about taking it off because of the road in the mud picture.. its only 7ft wide with trees on both sides and my paint is destroyed. Also how do you thing if i power coated the rims black? or maybe plastidip them first? and browning: i already did that but its all white and my door lights are blue
