Mike - I took your advice and finally accepted that I will need to primer and paint my frame. I wanted to powder coat but there are too many spots with pitting which requires too much grinding and sanding to get it where I know it needs to be for a good powder coat finish. My buddy Nick and I will shoot it with some Kirker epoxy primer later this week. This will buy me a little more time to get me bumper brackets, tow hooks and tow hitch mounted with holes drilled. Not sure if I am going to single or 2 stage paint it yet.

I also sold my tires and rims and decided I will go with a set of KMC XD Black 'Monster', 'Diesel', or 'Badlands' rims for my truck. If any of you out there know of any good deals on 17" - 20" used rims in good shape for sale please let me know.
