Gonna splurge for a new bumper...maybe an ARB so the chrome bumpers days are numbered!!!
I think it is one of the easiest/best mods to do on the 60/62. I had mine for about 4 months before I did it, and I still cant believe the difference. Did you do the vents too? I did all mine at the same time. Now I just need to get rid of the chrome rear bumper and Ill be completely "stealth".

Vents are next!
i agree the black does look so much better...best thing i did looks wise. next best will be to fix the quarter panel i bashed in 
snag that window and gutter trim as well! looks great
That looks awesome. I like the headlight trim too. The original paint scheme on the grill looks pretty good IMOP until the chrome and paint eventually wear off. As soon as mine starts to look like crap, I'm going to do that as well.
Nice truck 3putt.

Notice no snake blinders!!!
Love the look too, anyone have one of a 62 black grill?
Lookin good man! I painted the grill on my '88 62 with some plasticote charcoal grey metallic, it turned out great. Compared to the yellowing plastic anyways. I did the whole grill except for the chrome letters. It matches the body pretty damn good. I'm sure you guys want pics, tomorrow I'll be going to paragon so I'll have a camera and I'll take some pics of my grill b4 the trip.

Here ya go...my '90...
I originally blacked out the grille a few years ago using SEM satin black trim paint. I have to touch it up about once a year. Just be sure to put on numerous coats of paint.
Speaking of the snake-blinders...how do the handle the little "holes" left over in the body? Aren't they just asking for muck and grim?

Hmm, I like that - guess I got something add to my list, thanks!
Is yours de-chromed too? Can't be to sure from the pic.
Waiting to hear about the snake bliners too! There has to be something other than welding, grinding and re-painting!
Blacked out grills look great on the FJ62 - he is a poser shot!
What I really want to add is these mirrors from CCOT
