Not warn hubs, but still fun to get a little muddy with..

Also took off the top pin striping, in the process of taking all the pin stripes off.

 

[krazykracker]

how are you gettin the old pin stripe off?

Ive been using a razor blade to peel some up, then just peeling it off like a sticker. it took quite a while...any one have any suggestions to get it off easier?

Get a heat gun, peel a corner, and at the same time(carefully) heat the leading edge of where it's bonded to the paint and pull. What ever you do, don't over heat it.

My truck has been sitting outside my house and has only been started and moved a couple times in the last 6 months...so its not running so great now. Basically it has a lopey idol and just generally is running rough. And I think the lifters have some issues?

Any suggestions on things I should address since its just been sitting??...I did change the oil and filter but thats it and I just want to try to get it running a little smoother?

Any suggestions would really be appreciated
