Back in the shop! My new truck + 300s and Trackhawk!!!
Happy New Year`s everyone. It`s been a bit since I posted between everything that happened with my family and the holidays it`s been a mess.
So let`s kick this off. Right before Christmas my wife and I decided to step up and purchase a new truck. Our past 2 Silverado`s were good trucks but older and higher mileage when we purchased them. But they severed the purpose.
I had been hunting for a F250, Denali 2500 or High Country. Like most I put in my time researching the market and really figuring out what we wanted.
My wife`s only request. It had to be blue. Mainly because her horse trailer is blue and God forbid her truck doesn`t match lol. I looked at a 2017 Denali 2500. 6.0 gas in blue. Nice truck but even being a GM guy for 49k dollars it didn`t do it for me. And the 8 speed auto transmission issues they are known for kept lingering in my head.
The next day a customer and sales woman who works for the local Dodge dealer posted this beautiful blue 2017 F250 Lariat Fx4 loaded blue with 26k miles. Needless to say we loved it and took it home.
Yesterday and today were rare warm days so I took advantage and got it all coated. The body and paint were really well kept and it only needed a good one step with IGL F1, yellow IGL foam pad and Mark ll 21mm. The paint got IGL Kenzo, wheels, suspension and trim got IGL Eclipse high temperature industrial coating.

That truck looks better then new. You can eat out of the wheel wells!! Nice idea on sitting the wheels on the buckets. I purchased a tire "spinner" from Jeg`s to rotate them in the workbench.
