AFFORDABLE OFFROAD REAR BUMPER, and NITELITES on the roof rack for better rear lights at night

Already had it over a bulldozer trail cut by a recent forest fire about 3 miles from my place.

BEATS ME...
I am an old guy and I don't do automotive other than drive them.
AND
Those Affordable Offroad bumpers are HEAVY
SO
I had a local bodyshop put them on. They have done some work for me over the past years and are pretty talented and I know they did some modifications to them but I wasn't there for the process.
All I know is they said they were going to "try some things" to see if they could keep the front and back corners. When I went to pick it up there they were.

The one i got first was pretty... But it's all metal. And black. And this is Texas. Branded my hand, lol, once is enough. So swapped it for a white composite ball. MUCH better.
Also got the door panels off in preperation for paint, tinted the rear door glass, and stripped the last of the old tint off the front doors.

Replaced a ujoint, hub, brake pads, and caliper bolts after wheel fell off (didn't have the axle shaft in at the time because I took out the hub and axle shaft out together on the trail and put just a spare hub in...) on one side after a weekend of wheeling...didn't realize how bad the ujoint was, I don't think it had ever been replaced. Replacing the other side this weekend!
