    Looks nice!

    Although, for that much effort + the fact that it's a bumper exposed to the elements, I'm curious to why you went with plastidip? Why not paint?

    I couldn't commit to painting it so I figured I'd plastidip it and see what I thought. After seeing it I should have just hit it with paint but I was unsure at first.

    On separate note, thank you very much @Adude for laying down some sick FCAW welds for this tranny mount!

    Definitely. That strip is on the lights which I'm going to be replacing in the near future do to the infamous broken light tabs from putting on the glass so I figured screw it. Leave it be until I swap out lights.

    2k clear can turn out show quality if you prep right. Then do a mediocre cut, buff, and wax.

    LCA bushing suggestions? Mine are toast and PO put the bolts in backwards so they now hit the damn inner tie rod boots... I know Whitelines were brought up awhile ago, any other suggestions?

    Put my axle back on, did my drum brake shoes on driver side, and bled my brakes.

    Question. I'm not sure if I am just used to driving my motorcycle and wifes civic while the truck had been out of commission but does the truck take a little while to stop? It feels almost the same as it did when the rear rotor was down with the blown axle seal.. but I don't remember how it felt pre blown axle seal since I don't know how long I was driving like that!

    Is that why the tundra brake swap is a thing?
