Ok so did a bit of painting today (pic heavy)

bloat said:

So I was only meant to be taking the side steps off but, I ended up doing some other bits

Before

After (no steps)

The axle and complete under body will be painted in the next couple of weeks, in black not red hehe :thumbs

Then I went all boy racer haha

Then I poped the roof rack back on :clap

I do have to say I much prefer the truck with the side steps on!:bow

Yeah too right.

If using a jack then maybe two other methods to support.

However, jacking on soft ground aghhh... better get used to the soil you might jus end up being buried in it... six foot down.
