    Put new harnesses for the ground and dash tap in the panel, fits much better and doesn't feel like its going to pop out of the clips. Radio is glued so no more rattle from that. Steel be delivered tomorrow so :chop chop:. Duplicolor bedliner is flaking off on the top of the bumper, basically the entire top is bare steel right now, must have just happened because I only noticed when I got home yesterday. I blame Nick. ;) Still lots of stuff to do, hoping the skids and bumper build go somewhat smoothly.

    Oil changed and new bedside stickers got done today. Started on skids, cutting with an angle grinder is miserable :eek:

    Inspection, new dash tap fer switches, and more work (hopefully near completion) of at least one set of skids tomorrow. Oh and also wash this nasty thing :anonymous: Current plan is to get one set of skids done and then tack the other together then do the rear bumper and finish the second set if time allows. Don't worry Nick the completed set will be yours.
