haphazardly polished the truck up. Poor prep and chemical guys v38 with an orange pad. Came out great for the minimal effort.
One out, one in — still can’t park in my own garage- Alex builds an 80.

It’s not my 60 but I still really like it.

I don’t know why the deep cleaning phase is so exciting for me.

Driveway restoration complete. Ready for field use.
Added a new used driveshaft with no wobble thanks to @samc2447
New grille from FBM used, gold emblem upgrade.
Painted the bumper with rustoleum flat black. No prep and it came out nice.
Took a blow torch to the rear fender flaps.
New chinesium intake boot while I wait for an oem. $44 on Amazon.
Finished the detail of the truck and threw some gloss polish in it. Can’t believe how all the dead purplish paint came off.
Needs an aux fan upgrade asap. Ac has a hard time at idle.

Did the bumper paint take well? Looks great.

Amazingly yes. I did nothing but spray it on an impulse. You have to get really close to see the defects. Solid 5 footer.
I couldn’t bring myself to pay $200-400 for a used oem when I know I’ll have a real bumper at some point.
Same. I am going to get an ARB after I get everything sorted mechanically - but would like to tidy mine up until then. I did my grille a while back and it came out great.
