    Peter,

    The truck looks great. How was the rust at the b-pillar. Did it require much work?

    I am interested in the sliders. Does your resource have any interest in making more?

    Hi Scott. Not much work at all at the B pillar although we did find that the truck had had some side impact at one point. Nothing that it didn't "shrug off" though. The main rust was the rear driver's side, just below the light, the usual trouble spot.

    And, yes, Rodney is all set up to fab sliders for any application. His contact is raceplayhavefun@hotmail.com. Phone is 802-738-2428. The bumpers are outstanding as well. Thanks.

    What did you do with your fender flares?

    Stored upstairs in my barn. They're made of fiberglass and they tend to crack when they come into contact with anything off-road. Plus, they trapped moisture and grit against the bodywork.

    Why? Want em?

    Rodney's new site: http://www.performanceunlim.com/

    Don't laugh. Not a bad site design for a lawyer (me).

    Check out the cool ski rack fabrication project on the blog link.
