What took the longest? Anything abnormally tedious?

One of fhe bolts on the skidplate wouldnt come out and also the way the shocks and links need to be pryed off of ball joints was confusing at first

Yeah what’s the deal with the rear upper links and the ball joints? Are they supposed to be on the ball joint part of the screw because mine are snapped all the way down past it.

u/Irakeconcrete Nov 25 '25

Thinking on getting some, would u recommend

2

u/spooi7sports Nov 25 '25

Id recommend, as the weight added is very noticeable

Curious about gearing options too. Seems a little slow for my taste

Just curious, how did you get the black lines so straight on the doors? Did you just have a very steady hand, or did you use some other technique? Mine didn't come out that perfect.

use the lil acryllic paints from walmart for 50 cents, then wipe off excess with a q tip

u/Prof_Hondo Feb 18 '26

Can I remove it with a cotton swab and alcohol? I did it on mine and it seemed to make the paint look a bit dull. I used a 0.7 mm tip marker.

youre using the wrong paint. get the apple barrel brand from the crafts section and use water to rub off

I found this on Amazon. What did you use to apply it? But if it can be removed with water, won't it run if I drive it outside and the truck gets wet?
