Best RV Bumper Caps Ever? Probably Yes.

Upgrade Your Camper Plug!

I am so tired of my cheap plastic bumper plugs on my Grand Design travel trailer falling off while I’m going down the road! Do I really need to be wagging my crapper hose at passing traffic? No!

Now, I won’t be.

These bumper end caps are awesome. Solid metal with good construction, they’re easy to install and work a treat. Take a look.

Cheap Amazon LED Hood Light Strip

Looks Cool but Will It Last?

These inexpensive scanning LED hood light bars are all over Amazon. They look pretty cool, but are they worth your hard earned money? Well, it depends of how much you care about the rule of cool, how much money you’re willing to throw away every year, and whether or not the product will last any meaningful amount of time.

My first one lasted 7 months. We’ll see how long this new one goes.

Welcome back to Bullnose Garage! In this video, I’m giving you a long-awaited update on the condition of my 1985 Ford F-150 Bullnose after a few years of use and minimal maintenance.

I’ll take you on a detailed walkthrough, showing how the truck has held up after my DIY projects like tire lettering with a paint pen and the buff job I did on the paint. It’s been about three years since I last worked on these, so you’ll see the wear and tear that’s occurred over time—especially after being exposed to the harsh New Mexico sun without much protection.

Key Highlights:

• Tire Lettering: How well the white paint pen has held up after three years, and tips for maintaining the look.
• Paint Condition: A look at the current state of the truck’s paint job, including clear coat flaking and rust spots, plus lessons learned from the previous buffing.
• Future Plans: What’s next for the Bullnose, including the plan to eventually repaint the truck and bring it back to its former glory.

If you’re a fan of classic Ford trucks or just enjoy seeing how DIY projects stand the test of time, this video is for you. Don’t forget to check out my previous videos where I go into detail on the tire lettering and buffing process.

Headlight restoration doesn’t need to be complicated or expensive. Forget headlight restoration kits that promise pie-in-the-sky results. Do what I do and use some 2K clearcoat and some elbow grease! This is a simple DIY solution to faded, scratched, old, worn, cloudy, or otherwise junky headlight lenses.

I’m not working on the Bullnose this time, but I’m working on my 2007 F150. After years of neglect, the headlights were pretty hazy and gross, so I took care of that using some sandpaper and 2K Clear Coat. It’s pretty simple and only a little time-consuming. Anybody can do this in their garage or even their driveway if the weather is nice and you can leave your vehicle parked for about 24-48 hours. This will work on any car or truck with plastic headlight lenses.
