Kert closed up DIY4X last year. Shame as his products usually came powdercoated.

I don't remember, but powder coating must have been optional. I've got several of his products and they all came in bare steel.

Not long after he started powder coating he required all of his products to be done in gloss black, different colors or bare metal were extra.

When I bought my sliders I wanted bare but it he told me it would be $50 extra, I went with the standard gloss black.

Put a 3" body lift on my 1985 K20 38 years ago,had to extend the bottom of the shroud and wish i would not have done it .just the 3" offset make my truck overheat any time it idles for more than 3 or 4 minnutes. On my model you cannot lower the radiator. So i am finally going to put HD radiator swap and boster fan to help it.3" body lift 5" suspension with cut out fender flares and 44" mudders with no rub.Rides so ruff you will wear every soda you try to drink in it
.I am only 67 so i am not old enough to care yet.

Sounds like my '93 Dodge D250. My coffee sloshes out of the tiny little vent hole in the lid, even with the drinking hole closed. I've had the tailgate come open on the interstate before, too. I went with the 4" BDS glide-ride springs, so I'm hoping it won't be too bad. But... boggers lol.
