bumper is on!
so the bumper is on finally...im sooo happy and it looks pretty good IMO...
the only bad thing is that the paint is pisssing me off...i did everything right to paint bare steel but the bedliner is peeling off...i cleaned it down for 45 minutes with acetone, made several light coats of primer, let the primer heal for 5 hours, then lay down the bedliner...looks like i will have to re-do it sooner or later
...
all the lights and blinkers are fixed...but the headlight brackets/bezels (whatever) had to be trimmed to fit the brushguard...it doesnt really bother me that much because you cant really tell...
heres some pics...

jeep looks good, but try a different paint if the bedliner is peeling. i sanded the crap out of my bumper and cleaned it with paint thinner. then put about 4 coats of primer on it, then hit it with about 5 coats of rustoleum hammered. gives it that kinda textured look that you get from the bedliner but will probly hold up a little better.

So I noticed this thread kinda died off. Hows your Jeep coming along?
Also, I was wondering how the AAL was holding up? Any sagging or anything like that? Did you have any vibes that needed to be taken care of?
