    Well, I flushed the Power Steering system on my truck this past Memorial Day weekend. Also, removed the reservoir and clean the $#!t out of the filter screen inside.

    Loads of fun, let me tell ya.

    Yeah, the center section of the bumper is completely solid and straight still so I'll use that as a base to do my own thing. Probably copy the shape of the Bruteforce 1st gen plate bumper on the sides if I can. Gotta sort out the actual truck stuff first though, the truck I'm looking at has a perfect stock bumper so there's no hurry to fix mine just yet. Also yeah, I was aired down to about 13-15psi and the outer bead popped off when it caught before rolling.

    Have you ever been on a wheeling trip where you, or someone else, doesn't roll?

    I may have to rethink meeting up with you.

    I have a 95-97 front end on my truck. That's enough to keep me away.

    Does anyone know how to remove the door handle from the lock actuator? It's the white clip that connects the handle to the actuator. I can't seem to get it off, it's flared at the end so you can't pop it off like the other clips. I don't want to break the clip.

    Glad you're okay @Speedytech7. I have full confidence in the construction of these trucks. Hoping you find that pewter pearl color! It's so badass!! And it would almost be a Pre- Frankenstein resurrection...

    Mine came with an extra clamp and a note saying you may have to move them. They move them as far out as possible to keep the angles as good as possible.

    I had to move mine a bit so it didn't rub the bottom of my coilovers.
