Well... I pressure washed the engine compartment. I’ll do that again tomorrow. You and Dave would be proud. I laid underneath the truck right there in the yard and pressure washed it. I was soaking wet and covered with little specks of grease mud.

Are you going to be legal in Missouri with a 6" lift and 35's? As I recall MO.'s bumper height law is pretty restrictive.


All you need now Jimbo is a wire brush and a couple of cans of flat back to touch it up.

I just bought a set from rockauto.com. I paid $38.00 for the two for my '96 Explorer.
