Well, if you do find a pic let me know. I tried to google it and only came up with a stock version that was painted black. Definitly not a billet.

Hmmmm.....





Somehow got it all over the bed cover too:




I haven't taken the Cepeks in the mud, but they have a more aggressive tread so so they should throw more mud.

All? Not sure.....I think I still have some under the truck from that, LOL

Probably a good hour or so with the pressure washer to get the majority of it off.

I've been good about keeping it clean the last 2yrs though.....had it pretty dirty this spring since I had nothing else to drive, but no pics.

Dan, is your suspension/front end all powdercoated? I like the contrast of the silver against the blue, nice touch that not many would take the effort to do.

Thanks.

A lot of my suspension, steering, sway bar, bumper mounting brackets, etc.. was powdercoated "near chrome".

Axles, knuckles, drivelines I just painted a hammertone charcoal.


Really cleans up under the truck

Fell out again? Oh man thats a bummer. Did you at least get to hear it shatter on the ground? That was a sound that raised an eyebrow. I'm thinking to my self, I've heard a lot of sounds in theses trucks. . . but never that one
