I finished the whole front clip today and I must say it actually looks pretty sharp.

And the best part is I can carry a can in the back for $9 emergency paint touch ups
Go to ace hardware a can of bondo bed liner goes for 6 bucks, I'm about to do that instead of carpets

I put on my new shackles and then my rear shocks. I bought 1990'ish Comanche rear shocks and used my old rear swaybar mounts as bar pin eliminators. With the BPE's I get an inch and the Comanche shocks give me another 3 inches "Of flex". Next check I am getting new leafs. I also got some Ravine wheels, cleaned, scuffed, masked and painted them black for my 31 Trail Diggers. Tomorrow the front springs and the quick disconnects get installed.

Bar pin eliminators in the rear. Note to self/ everyone; the first one took me hours trying to fight the bushing into the top mount. The second one I mounted the mount in the shock then installed and it took me about 20 minutes
