    Pretend "African Safari" club match. Shootin' them big guns, on a time limit, is a hoot. One stage is 8 shots in 35 secs. This is a reload challenge as the guns only hold 3-4 rds. I have never gotten all 8 shots off.

    I'll be looking into it.
    Looking to run a separate line to the big cubby on driver side for the compressor.
    Went passenger side with the winch line.

    Picked up my bumper parts Tuesday afternoon from the shop that sand blasted them for paint prep. They did a great job from what I can tell. I suppose I won't know for sure until I apply the Steel-It, but the texture is very consistent. Next step is an acetone cleaning and then I'll be setting up a makeshift spray booth in the garage and a jig or two to hang or otherwise support them for spraying. Have some ideas in my head...

    I hate painting. :rofl:
    Never been any good at it.
    From watching here I pick up that prep, prep, prep is key. Which is most likely where I always went wrong.

    Does your hitch receiver go in or under the bumper?
    I like the in bumper receiver but I'm wondering if I went that route to use for a winch, Idk that I'd be able to drop the tailgate.

    Since I do the grocery shopping, maybe I can sneak the bumper cost in the groceries.

    Nah, when a certain party took control of the county board, they got rid of any symbols of their opposition!
