Actual progress!! Been a PITA getting this stupid bumper started

You need to polish those lights!

 

[Steve300xcw]

They were polished once. Didnt seem to last long. Probly just replace them one of these years

I ended up buying my OEM. Was painful, but I think it was worth it

I polished a set and had them coated with 3M film and they held up well. just a thought.

I coat mine with clear coat anymore. Couldn't yet say if they hold up for years.

I spent money on brakes, hardware, bearings and seals to rebuild the T100 rear end.

Basically just spent money, never left the couch.

Does it have a UV protectant in it. I know the clear film 3M is UV.

Depends on the clear. The good shit is about $30 a can.

Steve300xcw looks like you're gonna have to clearance out the grill pretty good.

Look great though, love how tight it is to the truck. My biggest gripe about arb

 

[Slander]

I don't know what kind of winch you have, but the remote mount solenoid boxes like on a m8000 fit perfectly behind the grill and in front of the radiator on the 1st gens with the rounded grills.

m8000 sticks up about 3"

Good to know.

Can confirm.
And there’s just enough room between the grill slats to get the plug in.

'nother 17k mi oil change. Need to get sway bar bushing and window switches.

 

[rockota]

Took the regular cab to the market....

 

[Steve300xcw]

Gotta dick with the frame mounts a lil, get the winch in there, trim the now extra shit thats hanging down, and maybe hook up the blinkers. Done for today though.

 

[Notstock]

Is that one of those $400 weld it up yourself bumpers?

 

[Steve300xcw]

Sorta

Its from coastal . But cheaper/faster an a hell of a lot easier than me buying a box of zip wheels an a sheet of 3/16".

Honestly if they were available welded up an ready to go. I woulda bought one. But pickens are slim for something that doesnt look dumb and/or stick way the fuck out there

 

[Penetrode Offroad]

You got me sold.

You gonna add the tube portion?

 

[JNHEscher]

Ordered front pads and rotors and the sway bar bushings.

Paid a little more for the breaks at Oh Really's last time in the hopes for some better braking. Turned out that they gave me the brand of pads they were talking about that warp the rotors right away.
