Finally had a warm day today, cleaned up the ranger, took out the seats and carpet cleaned the entire carpet, wiped down the whole interior. Removed my front license plate and trimmed up my bumper valance again. I polished my rims but ended up making them more dull looking than be for only got to step 2 out of 3 I need to get some aluminum polish, just used a scotch bright pad and some turtle wax. Here's some pics!

Good looking truck with the new hood and grille!

 

Truck looks great now that it's all fixed!

 

Nice and clean.

I need to wash mine but it's suppose to rain tomorrow.

 

Thanks guys part that sucks is it's just going to get dirty tomorrow, I hate winter.

 

Didn't you hit a deer and tear the **** out of one side?

 

Yeah, kinda glad I hit it though knock on wood, if I didn't I wouldn't have got the new mods!


Now:

 

yes he did

 

Nice! How much do you charge?

 

looks good

 

Thanks. I'm thinking about painting the valance and the plastic step pad on the rear bumper black. Don't know if I should do it or not.

 

Looks great man, love the rims and tires.

 

looks great!

 

not so sure about the scotchbrite on your wheels... doesnt that just scratch them up? back when I had my first truck with aluminum wheels, i just used Mothers aluminum wheel polish on a terycloth rag. took time and work to get em shiny, but they never looked all scratched up...

 

I use 000 steel wool on mine, gets the oxidation out. Then just polish them with the Mothers polish and they look like new.

 

Yeah the scotch bright pad seemed to of took all the shine out of them. I didn't go hard with it, but it did make them look worse than be for. I'm going to pick up some mothers aluminum polish sometime over the next month and hit the rims with that once it gets warm again. They look fine now just look less shiny. There was some scratches but nothing noticable or nothing that can't be buffed out. Plus I think it's about time to do the headlight mod soon.. I keep putting the little things off

Question, would an automotive store such as VIP or autozone carry the mothers polish?

 

thats some major orange peel on your door and fender...

 

Yeah, all fixed up now though.

 

looks great buddy, I ran those same tires on my dc-1's a while ago. U should like it

 

Derek whats up man, havent seen you around the site in a while. Thanks bro, how did you like them? Trucks coming together good now.. Need to body lift it soon when it gets warm and do some other things.

 

yeah well i got a puppy and school started again so im back at UNH, where did u end up getting the rubbers?

 

Nice man what kind? Some chick I know goes there.
