Finished my rear fender triming and sprayed a second coat. I was able to roll a new bead on the cut part of the rear fenderwells and weld it all back together so it looks real sanitary and clean...

Don't worry I'm going to wheel it every chance I get. 
The entire front setup makes it pretty bonkable. I made those fender bars a few years back after I layed the pickup (it was a '94 truck) over in a ravine and couldn't open the passenger door after. They work good so far. Got rid of those pesky park lights too. Body damage is one thing but it should take a mild flop or nudge a tree and everything should still work! I need to make some good armor for the rear corners before I do anything big. I've been enjoying building a clean rig with the trail in mind instead of making everything an afterthought.

Nice! I've never been there. Always wanted to though. How would you rate the difficulty on a 1-4?
All in all I'd give it a 2.8 to 3. It's set up so every obstacle is optional so any stocker can go play. And the harder stuff is a lot of steep holes and kelly humps dug out with a backhoe, some with a lot of larger slick logs thrown in at angles. There are some rocks. To put it in perspective, I was running street pressures with the rear locker on and had no problems even with the slick conditions. However, It still is a lot of fun! Really good suspension testing area and the fact that we even have something like this still is pretty cool.
Hey check out my post in the hardcore forum, found some weird stuff going on with my rear end this weekend still works fine just trying to figure out what is going on. Bent housing?

The top is in good shape but some of the texture was worn off and the white was showing through in places. I sanded it a bit and re-textured it with a can of that anti-chip stuff you spray under your paint on rocker panels and such. It dries alot harder than undercoating and the texture is alot finer than bedliner type products. Looks just like the stock texture...
Next is a quart of satin black.

Well so far the truck has done nothing but sit out in the weather with no engine and get bumped into occaisonally while moving building materials and firewood. Sometimes the cat tries to climb the side of it... I got pretty busy with work and a remodel project so after last spring I haven't had much time to finish the engine swap and other stuff to get it on the road.
Paint update...
It has been out in the sun, rain and snow, though and there is no fading whatsoever. The cat and other impacts have shown it to be very scratch resistant. I will update the thread when I get it out in the world but so far I am pretty impressed. I think it's necessary to use the hardener to get these results though as without it would be little better than rattle cans without.
