Bumper install.

Push harder there is something in the way of the bumper fitting flush...

And on. Not sure I have any skin left on my knuckles, as the lights were difficult to bolt on. Whoever designed those was a freaking moron. For those playing along at home, yes that's me.

My interpretation of the slee short bus bumper.

 

[2fpower]

The color is John Deere blitz black.

Yikes man! - I always use a cherry picker (or the overhead hoist if I can snag the bay with it) - you'll bust a hernia on these!

Srsly - those ellipsoids look good - so at least there's that!

Love the Tuffy box though. Got one in every 80 now. perfect for your arm rest, plus I can lock up goodies on trips. I adapted the cupholder in Josh's UTE, that might be enough room so that the rear seats would flip forward, instead of adapting the box.

I thought that I had documented the springs I’ve been running, couldn’t find it so here they are we are 0ME 860 X

Front are OME 851

Had some damage in Colorado on Chinamans gultch this year, so decided to get the exhaust going over the frame.

 

[2fpower]

Since the heat shield are no longer available, had to fabricate my own, made it out of an old aluminum turkey fryer 6 gallon bucket, then welded on some 3/16 plate with an air gap. Lots of fitting, but turned out real nice

Thanks to @Zane for direct me need to mandrelbends.com to source the stainless pipe. Also thank you to some YouTube poster for a great way to make a perfect cut in line around around object, zip ties

Not to jump stories around, but look what came by my family neighborhood mule....

 

[2fpower]

Well, just realized I never put up pictures of the finished exhaust installed .... since installing it I’ve had a check engine light and sluggish at times, I got a P0171 code, so going to change the front O2 sensor.

Got a new set of rims for boost, trying to determine how much of the rim to paint the color of the body. Grabbed some vinyl tape off of Amazon to try out some ideas... what do y’all think?

 

[cjmoon]

My vote is center spokes only. Leave the outer rim as is.
