A few updated photos with the light installed and the tailgate finished. Front and rear turn signals were also replaced. Hopefully the rear canopy will be installed in late December.

The rear plate is the actual legal registration for the Cruiser. The front plate is a "novelty"......the State and year I was born. Sharp eye..

Beautiful truck. What make of bumper is the front? Looks like an ARB, but I think not... Any plans for a rear bumper? It looks fine without.
I would like to have some type of rear bumper but I have seen so few I really don't have a template in mind. The front brush bar is ARB.

Is that newly painted? What did you do to your tailgate?
Nick truck of that age!
The tailgate was the only component on the truck that was in rough shape. There were a lot of imperfections that had to be corrected and once that was completed it was repainted along with the rest of the Cruiser. Also had it undercoated while we were at it.
