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.
the good thing about paint is its easy to fix especially on something big like a frame,small powder coated parts can be stripped and repaired much easier than a frame or axle housing in my experiance anyway
