Heat gun + 2 Hours = Side molding gone!!

[MO_GUY]

I decided to take the time and remove my side moldings today and I am quite pleased how it turned out....it was really easy to do just took some time.

Here are the pictures......all these are after...dirty and then cleaned!

Tooons better! Now take those nerfs off and put some 22's on!

 

[MO_GUY]

im not taking the nerf bars off just quite yet

ive made a pact with myself that if i dont have enough money for 20's by next tuesday then im not getting them, the sucker is going UP to the sky.....im gonna try and find like a 5 or 6" front susp. lift used and then do a SOA with warrior and then either 33's or 35's


either way, the money is going toward the truck

I had an idea Mo and I think you're just the guinnea pig to try it.

Combine a Trailmaster 4" suspension lift with a Superlift 4" suspension lift. You can use the TM spindle extentions on the Superlift extended spindles. Then you'll only have to have some custom 8" brackets made (no biggie ).

What do you think? Then throw a 3" body lift, TT/Shackles.. for a combined total of 13". Then throw some 38s under there!

i'm 99% certain my truck has been reshot (same color, just a freshen up) so i'm afraid to take my moulding off.

 

[MO_GUY]

take it off and check it out, it only takes a little time to get it done, if you dont like it or the color is different you can just put it right back on, just go out and buy some 3m double sided foam tape

Hmm I wonder the strength of those spindles....
MO good to see you coming back the the off-roader side. I pray to god you dont have enough money
I'm waiting to see prices on the RCD 5.5" coilover. I think it will be perfect for me. Hopefully wont be extremely expensive.

Muwahahahahahaha

That's a great idea if I would have about $2000 more

Looks much better. Glad to see you got it done without any problems.

i took my mouldings off w/ a hair dryer and some anti-adhesive stuff it ripped off paint in places and you can still tell where they were bc of either bad grime stuff or lines in the gel coat. oh well looks good man

I stripped my moldings with some spray anti-adhesive and i love it. It took ALOTTA time and my thumbnail hurt but was ell worth it. You would never know the trim was ever there

Looks good! What are you going to do with those tires if you decide to lift it?
