painted the front grille plastics and headlight bezels, gloss black.

they were faded and miscolored like my right side flares.

still trying to figure out how I want to paint the bedliner on the side.

ahaha. well my options are the whole bottom half below the body line, or the body line down at the bottom of the doors, or a hybrid of each, and do the sides at the bottom, and then the back quarter panel (to the tail lights) at the body line halfway.

Start minimal because you can always paint more.
Paint to much right away and you might not like it.... Small flames

well the cowl snorkel didn't go well. got the parts I needed, and then remembered I have the stupid ABS box in the way right where it would go....so im going to give a forum buddy those parts, and then at some point just get the spectre cowl snorkel that goes across the valve cover.

forgot to post this up. I got some used BFG Mud-Terrains KM1s in 33x12.50 mounted on some D-windows. good amount of tread left. only a little bit of dry rot. they'll last me a good while until I can get some new KM2s


I kind of really want to see how they'll fit stock. just for ****s and giggles, but I know I won't be able to drive like that.

got my tow hooks installed finally.

also took my plastic endcaps off, along with the bottom lip. it's showing the skid plate a little....

I think it looks good. picture actually turned out pretty good for a crappy cell phone anyway
