Discovered that I need new springs up front (PS is sagged over an inch), new shocks, all new steering ends and when I get time, I want to swap to later vented rotors. Also on the to-do is to gut the interior and rewire the speakers and do a little tidying up on the interior.

P.S. if anyone has a good source for a chrome sr5 grille, I'd appreciate it.
 
How did bumper get bent?
Came that way when we got the rig. Based on other visual ques, my guess it that it took a hard hit on the drivers side and pushed the wing back which bent the main body in such a way that it bucked the middle section upward since it didn't have anywhere else to go. I say that because the bumper fits waaayy to tight to the drivers side, in and up, and is gapped on the passenger side. The internal structure is also tweaked. Good thing is that it does not appear that anything translated into the front frame section, so the truck is good, just has a bit of a crooked smile.
 
To the tire shop…. Where they discovered two holes in one tire and one hole in the others. I found a random small drill bit right infront of my truck randomly. Some bastard has Karma coming for him.
 
This is the aftermath of what you drug thru Utah:

They totally fit the motif.. 😂
 
Drove 60 miles north of me to get some RV parts. Cruised at 70+ without any issues. Will be a great ride for the next owner.
