Just got back from Mahoney state park. Took my boys so I could check it out, and see if they approve
Anyway, all shelters are reserved for June 7. The person at the park said that it is possible that some may be empty at 5pm, as most people should be packing up to leave by then. So, we could take a chance, and meet at the playground past the John Wayne stables, and see if the shelter right there opens up. Or we could try another park? I bought a season park pass, so I did get that done. We rode our bikes around the park, beautiful warm day. What do you guys think?

finished the trailer, i think it came out pretty good, well at least good for my painting skill ability ha
originally i had the hinges painted black and it looked good, but i decided to take them all off and wire brush them back to raw aluminum and i think it sets it off better, overall im happy with it...im just gunna be mad when i start usin it for its intended purpose and it starts getting scratched lol

ha yea...i planned on it taking me a cpl hours but by time i pressure washed it, scuffed it up primered it and put two coats of black on it was almost a 7 hour job...finished in the dark lol
also i learned that overspray is a devil...i think i was a different race for awhile ha, i hate to admit it but i pre much took a shower in paint thinner that night
im thinking about adding some amber running lights and some of that red/white reflector tape to it yet...i also want to paint the step ladder the brushed aluminum/chrome color to match the hinges/wheels but all the walmart paint isn't even close to matching lol
jd you get any work done on your truck?? i thought i read somewhere that you were gunna try to work on it this weekend

Somewhat....This Saturday at work was extremely slow so I got it washed and also did a fuel induction service. Basically you turn off the fuel pump, disconnect the fuel line that connect to the fuel rail, plug in the tool that supplies the rail with a detergent cleaner, then start the engine. It runs for 1/2 hour until it runs out then the engine dies. Hook everything back up and that's it. Pretty easy service - cleans out all the injectors and inside the cylinder walls, tops of pistons, etc. Some customers have told me they've seen up to 2-3 mpg increase after that service alone. Every vehicle is different. I didn't notice anything different when I drove it home. We'll see what happens though. Other than that, nope. I still need to clean up my frame and do some painting to it. Never got around to that part yet. That's my next project since I power washed everything and it's clean now.

I need to get some frame painting done before our meet. I guess I plan on using the Krylon black. I'm trying to decide if I want flat black or gloss black. Any ideas from you guys? I've read about the POR15, but I don't know that I want to go to that expense.
Weshova, great job on the trailer. Looks really good!!

on second thought what exactly are you painting?? the frame that you can see from your BL?? if your going to take the time to prep it and primer it i would pry use that krylon or i've always had good luck with rustoleum, i like valspar to but idk if they have spray cans, i've never seen them anywayz

Wow great job on that trailer weshova! If your sister don't want to pull that now then I will .
I second the rustoleum or krylon you can't go wrong with those for some quick touch up and the best part is its relatively cheap, or a thought is that Herculiner stuff (the roll on bed liner kit ($50)). I have been thinking about getting some of that stuff to do my wheel wells.
