    If you can smooth off that crack maybe that spray on bed liner they are making bras from will work. I saw on another thread someone saying that looked like a good idea to redo the hood insert.
    42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.

    Depending on what you want to do, you could also quite easily just paint the hood insert without removing it. You would just need to do a thorough masking job to protect the rest of the truck.

    I think this is the route I will take. I am not sure if i need to sand it down any or just use some prep stuff.

    My work schedule will be changing soon so i will have more days off to complete some projects.

    Yeah, I don't remember your insert having a bad crack, did it? Maybe a little 1000 grit sand paper and a good post sanding cleaning is all you will need.

    It isn’t horrible by any means, just wanted to put the question out there, in case some one new something before I consider removing it. I do want to get that Bondo junk off there since it looks gross. I will have a Headlight buffing and a paint cladding/hood insert weekend and want to be as prepared as possible.

    Now to highjack my own thread. (Is that possible?)

    Does anyone know about other ISUZU steering wheels that will interchange on our column? Mine is super dry and severely cracked/cracking/peeling. Eventually I would like to replace it. Any suggestions?

    Is keeping the airbag an issue for you? If not, you have tons of options.
