I like it. What paint system are you using? We like details, especially on paint. HVLP? brand of paint? How big is your compressor? Is this your first truck to paint? 100th truck to paint? We need details!

Thanks for the compliments! The color is prowler orange, and it is made by valspar, but dupont produces it as well. This is my first paint and body project ever, but i didn't spray the final paint. But i did do all the body work, rust repair, and primering and sanding. I had a friend of mine that went to school for paint and body, and works in a local shop spray it. Now here is the kicker, the booth we sprayed it in was junk. The only benefit was it had heat. The vent and fan system didnt work, and we had to you a gas powered air compressor that couldn't keep up. We had no water to spray the floor down with, and there was dirt all over the floor. The paint is also five years old, and has been through 100+ degree temps, down to 20 or below for all those years. But looking at the paint job you couldn't tell any of that, and he did an EXCELLENT job spraying it.

The gun he used was a HVLP and is made by SATA. He said it cost him about $900.

As for my traction bars, i can honestly say they came on the rig like that. But they just bolt to the side of the frame and the top of the u-bolts. But they are supposed to reduce axle wrap.

If you have any more ?'s feel free to ask. And i will try to post more pictures when i get more done.
