    Did you remove them before you sprayed them or did you spray them in place?

    Trying not to mod it
    With the jack under the truck I would guess the wheels came off the truck, but I've been wrong before.

    I just ordered some, so we'll see how it goes. I plan to keep the black. They were silver to match the TSS wheels, but I just hit them with plastic adhesion promoter, SEM Trim Black, and a clear coat. We'll see how it holds up as well. I just had it on hand and wanted to see how it works.

    I saw your picture and the difference in wheel color. I totally missed the fact that you painted the centers black. They look awesome! Well done :thumbsup:

    @AzureNightmare called it. I took them off. Dip Your Car has an instructional video with them still on the truck, but it was pretty windy when I did it, so it was blowing my masking and I didn't want to risk over spray on the truck. Honestly though, I would advise taking them off (if you have the ability) anyways. I found it easier to be able to walk around the tire and get a good coat on all faces of the wheel.

    Thanks! We have so many folks that provide wonderful inspiration. Always fun to see what people do with there rigs. Especially when it is an option you've been considering (like the brass monkey on the TSS wheels). I'm hoping to get some more interior work done soon and then to work on color matching front!

    When I installed my sway bars I did the front first and left it on for a couple of days before I did the rear. The front does make a decent difference. The rear makes an even bigger impact on stability though. They’re both really good buys but if you’re only going to buy one, buy the rear.

    Can I get a link for the Valhalla shields? And rough price shipped?

    I'm not normally inclined to get these but chances are it's going to sit for a week down at Lake Powell this summer and I'd like to have piece of mind. Anyone know if Powell's been targeted at all?

    Installed my CBI full skids and RCI Fuel Skid myself this past week, what an awesome addition to the truck. Offers some Cat Theft deterrence as well.

    I thought the same thing.

    Also, to those that don't have the OE skid plate, be sure to add to your budget for the OE fuel tank straps that have thread studs to mount RCI skid to. Really easy to replace the straps and install the skid.

    Anecdotally, I would say it seems to have a bit less perceived road noise...

    Snagged this Bakflip MX4 off of Craigslist yesterday for $140.00. Came with all hardware including the brackets to lower my in bed accessory rail system. Spent another $10.00 at Lowe's for some weather stripping to go across the front of the bed. Hardest part of the install was removing and relocating the accessory rails.

    Guy I got it from bought a shell and said he was tired of storing the Bakflip in his shop.
