    Dropped off my 12-15 hood at the body shop for paint. Last piece of the puzzle to complete my 2.5gen conversion.

    No, I just covered in precut vinyl that I got from a member here @HFDane. The vinyl is fairly thick and provides enough padding by itself.

    Man glad you and the kids are ok, the rear “bumper” if you can even call it is really just a decorative cover. When I replaced mine with a steel bumper I was shocked at how little there was to it. There are a ton of options I went budget with a body armour for about $400. There is probably a good threat in here somewhere. Good luck and happy shopping!

    So I made great use of my ARB ‘Jack’ today. They work a treat for removing old fence posts with the cement instead of trying to dig out the old cement.

    They're right below the picture cutoff on the crash bar. Sounds the same just can't see them as well.

    Unfortunately for you Home Depot had it. But it was by the free standing A/C units and not by the other coil cleaners.

    Can't really say as it's been raining so much here. I will say visually it did clean quite a bit.

    I’m just speaking from experience my bumper was super thin and flimsy off the truck. Mine was chrome and not a bumper just a cover basically. Plate bumper I have now is a real bumper...

    that is awesome. will definitely use that trick when replacing my next one (probably sooner than later). think a hi-lift would work well enough?

    you might want to do a msds on the stuff and look at whats in it and safety stuff......most coil cleaners are kinda harsh...not being a woosey but many years in industrial settings with chemicals its good to be aware..

    Installed the MobTown Offroad locking steel cubby doors for the bed today. Well made and fit perfect. Buying them as a set, they are keyed alike which is nice.

    Can you give the details on who makes that bumper? Looks like just what I've been looking for.

    That's fucking awesome! When I do this I'll record everything in the build thread just like all adventures. Once its paid off I'll retire the taco to be a trail truck from daily & get my s10 back up & running to be my daily until I get a beater car & s10 will become my street truck. Both trucks are my dream trucks... :rolleyes:

    Oh it totally would. I bought one of these instead of a Hi Lift but primarily for the same purpose. It just operates safer, is lighter and I liked it better.
