Gonna drill a couple bigger holes and paint my paint bar today.
Also gonna start plasti-dipping stuff.
My ebay plenum plate should be here this week, then it is off to get a gasket set and a bolt set.
Then I should be good for the plenum repair.

Well I went off-roading as soon as the rain stopped, the mud was perfect and it dried nicely all over my truck. The new look.

I got a bunch done yesterday.
Got extra bolt holes drilled in the bar, got it painted, took off my tailgate, cleaned up the bumper and masked everything off and started plasti-dippin'!
Did the tailgate plastic too!


That is what I was dealing with on the bumper pads...


All masked.


First coat.


Tailgate....notice the ugly brown-grayness...

Yes, I suck at masking. I checked on all this last night after 2 coats and it looks good, I'm gonna finish up today, gonna put another coat of paint on my lighht bar and hopefully install it tomorrow.

And oh yeah, I also got my ebay plenum plate yesterday too!
