Just a quick update! I have my toolbox in the truck, the bull bar will be here Friday and my new bumper will be painted the 1st week of may. I am actually really excited about the bumper, the guy is a family friend and hes gonna paint it for $150. Super grateful! I am trying to decide how I want to do some off road lights. I gotta get some money together before I can do anything else. Here is my list so far:

Off Road Lights
Tuner
Weather Techs
Side Steps
Headlights
Sub

Any Suggestions on how I should go about those upgrades or anything else I should do to increase the level of badassery of Thor, let me know!

Here is the toolbox! The lock isn't working, I'll have to shave off some of the latch on the lock to clear the handle latch. But I think it looks good and it will work, I got the low profile box.

When you run into the usual problem, read this thread, post # 16 has the solution.

I bought some Kano Aerokroil Penetrating Oil from Amazon since I ran out of PB Blaster. I've heard this stuff is better. I don't want to cut the bolts but this is the last resort...

Just a quick update, I know it's been a while, I got my new bumper on and it looks pretty good. I'll post pics soon. I cant seem to get those bolts for the bull bar out, I've tried clamping and WD and an impact, but it just wont go. Can y'all tell me what the dimensions of the bolts are. I will order new ones, a little longer, and a locking nut and drill the threads out of that bushing.
Thanks Guys!
