Well its got that fresh paint on there,looks good but of course there is always some touchup!! Gotta clean up the overspray and touch up a few areas I wanted black (door handles,tailgate handle,roll bar thing,ect)

Damn,there goes that annoying electric fuel pump again...ye it stopped working,even when I touch the +/- to the battery,no noise.So I went ahead and ordered a NEW replacement from J C Whitney for about 40 bucks.

Just watching the build, don't have to much to add to it.  :)

I used the stock mounting position on the inside of the spring pads when I did the SPOA.  Your travel is a bit limited but it keeps them away from rocks.
