all...er, just about done

the lower fascia perty much fell apart, so i'll rock without until i get another one

but after i get the bumper all aligned...
i find this

found that screw i dropped a few weeks back....

took it out since the tire was shot already
good thing i have a spare...

NOT!!
theres a nice slice in the side of it, probably from when it rode around in the bed alone

i also think i should grab a bumper bracket when i get the lower fascia

this is my drivers side bracket/\

and maybe a new pass side fender...

and people think I mistreat this truck....these are from previous owners

You should powder coat those 18s black! But that looks good.

At least you have a spare (as useless as it is), when I had my exhaust done my spare was off and now it wont fit....

I got some of those brackets at home. I like the bumper though Looks good I think you should paint the lower too while you need a new one.

Send me a pm for the bracket...

my buddy said the same thing, either do just the centers black or the whole thing black
im actually sanding them so they look brushed
since theyre originally polished, and too much time on OH roads did a fair number to the polish.

im considering doing the centers and the rims red, keeping the face brushed

i dont want to waste anymore paint on the lower, i can probably find a painted lower and just re-paint it, it would take a lot of prep to remove the texture.

heres a pic of the non brushed rim with center cap
