linex would look good and probably hold up better than rattle can.
 
I should have it painted tomorrow and on the truck tomorrow night with the winch bolted down.
 
Finally got the bumper finished. I painted it with a textured spray paint then put 4 coats of satin black on it. I really think i would like to have it line-x'd but I am going to wait to see how the rattle can does.

Turned out beautiful, I really like the finishing work on the inside walls of the "winch compartment area" and the mounts for the Cleavis's

thanks. the walls were a last min thing. I had some scrap pieces that i made fit. I was going to add tubing but I think i like it like it is.
 
I will have to add it all up but including winch, metal, paint, welding supplies and bolts i have around $1000 in it. $750 for winch and around $250 for bumper.
 
I also did some work on the interior. I picked up a used dash grab bar from SOR and it was worn out and used. I cleaned the rust off and tryed to match it as close i could and used a new Katskin steering wheel cover that I cut and made fit on the bar. I also picked up a Inclameter which is pretty cool.

Nicely done, YOu da man. I have no welding abilities so I'll have to buy an ARB front and a 4x4 Labs rear with my hard earned cash.
Again, a really s*** hot job.
 
I just got a couple of boxes in. One from torque masters and one from SOR with a shim kit in it. Just need to make the order to Longfield.
 
I should be getting my longfields and hub gears in this week and ready for a front axle rebuild.
 
If you need a hand doing the front axle rebuild let me know! I will be more than happy to get you a beer out of the cooler:)
 
I swapped out fuel lines for some new stuff and i got a small box from JimC that has stuff to desmog.
 
Last night I Started working on my rear sliders and put in 2 degree shims in the front to get rid of the bump steer.

Here is a list of the trails I picked. What has everyone else picked so far?
