Glad to meet you!
At first I was annoyed that progress was halted. Now, I am thinking I need a complete re-spray

I guess I need to have a further discussion with Phil on this. This is my dream. Not sure if it is doable in the immediate future but later this year.
\It started with a little parking lot mishap.
No problem. Time for a new rear bumper
I dremeled to clean it up and then my first time ever to use bondo - uh oh!
Then one thing led to another, my bondo job was not that hot, so I started working on Plan B and took the rest of bumper apart
Figured I might as well match my rear bumper to my new front bumper and color it black. To help cover my less than perfect
Not bad, but then realized that dark grey center cross member did't look as good as I thought with black on each side. Time to disassemble again (Plan C) and paint the cross member.
Then I started thinkingbefore I put that mud flaps and bumper end caps again, maybe I should use this opportunity to take the flares off and get them painted, after all new flare gaskets have been sitting in the garage waiting for a few months now.
After nearly slicing my arms off squeezing through engine bay service holes to reach the 4 interior nuts on each flare, I thought I was in the home stretch. That is until I realized I have to pull off the front bumper to remove the last two front corner bolts holding the front flairs
It's a heavy beast with winch so I will need recruit some help.
So in short (yeah right) I started with boo boo on rear bumper and here I am taking off flares and front bumper...odd.
Absolutely normal behavior, don't mind what these other folks tell you. Is this an astrohpytum in flower by the drive way ?

It is indeed, but that plant is an Arizona special "all metal and hand painted"
Something looked a bit fishy about it

Replaced the worn out seals around the Flares, fitted Sliders and Brush bars.
SO this week for my brothers in arms, I hear a ding turned into a complete respray and an oil change turned into an engine swap. Sounds like a Tuesday rather than the weekend. Ha Ha!

Made a little tire and wheel progress.

Got the front half of my suspension upgrade installed. Now the decision is, do I finish installing the rear suspension or paint the front fenders white to complete the SoCal Pre-Runner look. Ha!
Welcome back John.

Changed engine, tranny, transfer, and F & R differential oil. Also put in my spare tire levelling kit after going from 315 Duratracs to 295 Cooper AT3s so I can keep a spare without getting a rear bumper. I lost a bit of clearance but the Coopers are great on the road.
This shot is pre-tire leveling kit - now the spare is above the level of the hitch : )
