I can't live with the little holes from the bracket on the quarter, and I think the cut and fold of that whole piece looks like ****. So... It's not gonna happen right now. My trim **** is pealing on the passenger side already. I've got some gorilla glue to go on it though.

I fixed my leaky rear diff cover today. There was a ton of **** between the cover and the housing, I know where I peeled it back, it's been a couple months ago, it was just a REALLy slow drip.

Mine has been on for less than two weeks, and is falling down in the curve of the passenger side, I'm gonna put gorilla glue on and if that comes off then ill just paint that little lip black and fall it a day.

I got a wilderness rack from a guy I work with, got it mounted last night. It'll need paint when the weather gets warm or someone lets me paint in their garage. I've got my spare tire up there, and I have some reverse lights ready to go on it.

To do list.
Finish reverse lights
Get stuff for fog lights and install
Install new track bar and bracket... Done
Get new headlight harness and better bulbs
Do something with rear fenders and bumper caps ...almost done
Finalize bumpstops... Done in rear
Find coolant leak
Remove all mud from interior
Paint roof rack (will have to wait for warm weather)
Build locking system for spare tire
I probably won't get **** done on it this weekend.
