Default Project ol black B(4000)

Decided to start a build thread. Like most of us, this will be a long process.

Some background: it's a 1994 B4000, 5 speed, 4x4. I have 31x10.50 Bridgestone Dueler a/t's.

Current mods:
Throttle cable mod
Bike mounts
Dog run in the bed
Stake pocket tie points

I plan on leveling the front out soon, getting a slim fit toolbox, getting new wheels and doing something with the audio situation. Those will hopefully come in the next year.

Beyond that, a new exhaust setup once the current one rusts out, maybe some one off bumpers and places for lights in the future.

Thanks guys. I do want to paint my bumpers. I'll probably hit them with some spray on bed liner.

It was extremely easy to to and with a short drive out tonight I think I like it. I have a slightly smoother ride and not much more body roll.

Thanks man. I knew when I washed it I was going to get rained on (which I did) but now the snow is falling and the salt is sticking back on the truck. Man I really love winter

It's never a lost cause. I hate rust and road salt's baby is rust. So I'll wash the truck every other week or so

I always wash my truck and the wife's accord between snow storms. I don't really care how clean they look. I simply want to get the salt off the paint and the wheels. If I get a really long streak of good weather, I spray underneath.
