I finally cleaned the truck this weekend for the first time in 4 or 5 months. The aluminum rims were in horrible condition from the winter so I cleaned them during the process of changing out my driver side hub assembly. The hub caps were pretty raunchy looking too, so they got sanded down and sprayed with some wheel paint and clear coat that I had lying around.
Enjoy.
This is after cleaning the rims with simple green and 0000 steel wool
This is after painting the hub caps and polishing the rims with Mequires Aluminum Mag Polish using a Mother's Powerball - The wheels probably haven't been this clean for about 3 years.
I was a bit ambitious and decided to wash the truck as well, who knows when it'll happen again.
Poser flex on an old stump and some horse crap... hey, it's better than flexing on a curb.

I would sand it all down and get all the old stuff off and then get DSG(or close to it) Krylon Fusion if you can find it and paint it with that. Or you could just go the easier route and buy black Krylon Fusion and do it that way.

Thanks Zacharia. The valance just needs a bit more work, but it looks better than the busted up '04 valance.
The new bearings are great, I never realized just how much noise the damn things were making. I wish I didn't pay to have the passenger side installed, I could've bought both and installed them myself for the same price. Live and learn I guess.

Thanks, I'm up for a meet anytime... if I'm not working anyhow. I'm trying to find somebody to go out and hit the trails behind me (Collier's Mills) but it seems like its hard to find people in the area to wheel with.

That's pretty sweet! I'm really diggin the subtle little details on your truck. I had to go back and check out the tail lights, I like that a lot, might have steal that idea. Maybe the V6 emblem idea too.
