YotaTech and Sonoran Steel ROCKS!!

The dented valance on my '91 pu really looked bad.
Removing it made it even worse.

Being a noob here I have been reading all the articles I can find pertaining to my application and came across Steves solution to my problem.
This custom fabbed plate was very easy to install with only 4 bolts and makes the truck look oh so much better!!

All I can say is......Steve,you rock buddy!!


For more info you can contact Steve at Sonoran Steel here:

Heres a couple of quickey shots of before and after.

Before: UGLY!! Blech!!


After a quick rattle can job....PRESTO Changeoo... BEAUTIFUL!!

Hehehe,no problem!

I do wheel it,granted not as much as Id like to though.
There are several things that get in the way even though Im retired.
You know.....like wifey,3 girls and 2 big dogs.......

I do take a great deal of pride in my ride though.Clean makes it easier to spot potential leaks,safety hazards and/ or problems.It also provides a good opportunity to inspect your rig after a day or three on the trail,and finally it gives me a reason to offroad when wifey says its too clean for a truck!!

WOOOOOOT! I should bang up the valance on my 91 and call Steve too! hehehe...That looks great. probby allows more airflow around the engine too (or easily could if there were slats in it. You also have a place to hang lights now.

The bumper was looking a little beat so I sprayed it the same color as the plate.
Not bad for a rattle can huh?
