The Camo Beast as it Evolves.
Thanks Wildman. No, I do have them tight by design. I only plan to use the step to get in and it works for that. Now that it is 3"s higher, I might be wanting to use them to dismount also. I have an idea on that, we'll see.
Thats a great idea! Thanks...
I'm going to work on the bumpers on Thursday, I have the whole day and Friday morning.
I decided to do the rear first. It started with taking off the old bumper
Then the bottom piece was cut for a step and a piece of diamond plate
Then burned that in
Had the band saw cutting the end caps
Welded them on
Set it up on the trailer hitch to check fit
Then made the frame mounts
Put the bumper up in place
Burned the mounts on the bumper and then ran out of time this morning. Working the next three nights. I'll get back to it on Monday. Couple things left and a paint job and it'll be done

But you ARE making progress, and that is a good thing. Of course, it never happens as quickly as you would like. 
Better to do the job once, and do it right, than rush thru it, and have to do it again though.
Keep plugging away. You'll get there. (and then, you will come up with another list of things to do......)
