mr. Wuest · 03-18-2009, 01:06 AM

that grey is gonna look good on your runner. what kind of mods are you planning on doing to it?

phildelfino · 03-18-2009, 05:31 AM

Looking good. What brand paint you using?

SpecialScottie · 04-01-2009, 10:57 PM

Its actually tractor paint believe it or not. I get it cheap from my fathers work

SpecialScottie · 04-29-2009, 10:47 PM

So I finally got a rola roof rack. Its the basket type. Im looking to bolt it directly onto my fiberglass top. Wheres the best place to drill holes? Ive heard that theres steel going through the top in certain places. Does anyone have a diagram or anything that could help me decide where to drill?

Tony Battista · 04-30-2009, 04:02 AM

hmm looks like im going to have to paint my undercarriage to!

SpecialScottie · 04-30-2009, 02:29 PM

Its makes you feel better after you do it lol
Anyone know about the roofrack question?

turn1andburn1 · 05-06-2009, 09:35 PM

Its good to see you went ahead and painted the engine bay, good choice. Great build up by the way.

NIce truck man !!!

The wheels look especialy good.

Did you ever find out if our fiberglass tops have steel running thru them , or did you just mount the rack though fiberglass?

I never found any steel in the top but there are areas where the fiberglass is much thicker and thats where I drilled
