The PMF traction bars showed up. My powdercoater knocked out getting them done today. The bars are primed and will get color tomorrow. Also got the driveshaft back from being polished.

I'm finishing up the rear brakes and will have it on the ground tonight.

This isn't even fair. I'm going to spend more on parts than on my truck.... I freaking love what you've done here.

Final night and still quite a bit to do.

Had a mishap with the traction bars. I inadvertently put them on backwards thinking the logo should go to the rear. Well while switching them around it tore some paint up in spots
that probably aren't noticeable to anyone me but I'm still pissed at the bone head move. And during that process some scratches came about. So those that see it this weekend, the stuff will be fixed after we get back.

Here is how she sits right now.

maybe I missed it but what exactly is it that you are doing all this for so quickly?

On the home stretch. She's clean and we are wiring up the lights.
Also I hated how the gap is on these trucks with an aftermarket bumper so I decided to try and reuse the rubber gasket below the light.

We're rolling out.

Only thing we didn't get done we're the headlights.

Pics suck, hopefully I can nab nicer ines this weekend.
