    the K&N, LEDs in the tool box, soft cover, brush guard, and door trim

    not to mention the tires, stereo, exhaust, and lots of maintenance, the plan for this summer is to do some rust repair, paint the frame rails, and maybe e-fans

    first task was to tape off and paint the speaker grills

    then next was adding some more camo, took off the carpet on the bottom of the door, cleaned it then used 3M spray adhesive

    then trimmed the excess off the edge, removed the tape and added a shoe string to hide the edge

    did a little work today, i'm still trying to figure out how i wanna add some tow hooks to the front, so today i pulled the front bumper to see how much room there was and what not

    before

    since i was home alone i needed an extra hand, via two tow straps, haha

    after some cleaning up

    [​IMG]

    then turns out the bumper mounting plates were missing a bolt, which i think was causing the bumper to wiggle real bad causing my aux lights to shake and gave them a strobe effect which drove me crazy

    replaced the bolt and while i was at it i replaced the other which i had to drill out, always fun

    [​IMG]

    and took the plastic valance off, 3 drill bits and a shattered cut off wheel later, dont have any pics tho, gonna put the guard back on tomorrow
