The wheels turned out great!
How man cans do you need per wheel?
So you got matte black and then a gloss spray too?

You'll love your Volant. Mine is amazing and works good with my exhaust heh. Can't wait to see how it works when I do true duals. Yea man get that thing leveled up and get those other mods on. WE WANT PICS!! lol. The wheels look good on your truck and will look real good with it leveled out. Headache rack should be an easy install as will the brush guard. I want the cab lights for mine, but doing all the existing lights first and then the cab lights will follow shortly after.

Yea I'm so ready to get bacl to the house to finish putting what I got on
.if this Guy would hurry and get this lumber off my trailer I could go ddamnit lol. But theyre wanting me to go reload, so now I'm trying to get out of that LOL

I have that frontier gear bumper replacement installed on my truck and it was very easy to do by myself.
1) remove stock front bumper
2) mount the provided brackets
3) get the bumper "close" so you can bolt it up to the brackets.
4) use a jack to make final adjustments and tighten everything up.

Took me 2 hours to do the front, rear, and exhaust alone. That's including removal of stock parts and messing around with the truck straight piped for a bit. All you'll need is a good set of boxed end wrenches and some standard and deep well sockets...and a bottle jack for the bumper adjustments (so that it doesn't move around).

Yea I got plenty of tools to handle it just have never put one on before. Its got the bottom mounts and the ones that go under the grille so yea. I should've done exhaust also, ill put that on my list. Lol

Thanks man, on the first rim I used 1.5 cans but I oversprayed quite a bit. The next two I used one can each and they came out perfect. The first layer I sprayed enough for 50% transparancy. Then I put 3 more layers on it, letting it dry between layers obviously. For the gloss I did the exact same thing. It looked good being matte black k but even better glossy. I got all my stuff from dipyourcar.com, cool website, lots of videos and how-to. But they don't ship to canada. They have a link to somebody that does though.

No problem man. Yea I got 8 cans of matte black and 6 gloss...they have a gloss kit that comes with 4 black and 3 gloss, I got 2 kits in case I screwed it up LOL...and also get the spray handle thing, goes on top of the can, just squeeze the trigger. Super simple.

Truck is coming along great man. The rack and box look really good on your truck. Almost makes me want to get rid of my tonneau and put a box and rack or a roll on mine.. Hmm.. Damn this site and all the different ideas it can give you lol. Reps for the DIY method!

 

[gotbrains230]

Thanks man. I got the last rims drying right now. Im gonna take some pics as soon as I get it on. And at dusk (or dawn, whichever one it is LOL) and night. Im thinking those big rig ice lights will look super sweet at night time. I didnt hook the white lights up, I gotta find a dome light wire to tap into. I read somewhere that they're in the pillars, idk. I just got tire of messin with em...and thanks for the reps
