wheels and tires on. some trimming to be done.

Back from red rock country...Goblin Valley, Utah, and vicinity.

Rear lights mounted in the bumper. it was too cold to hit it with the bed liner, and I have little to no patience, so I'll figure out spraying it later when it's warmer.

Most recent updates...grille guard and lights.

Pulled the CD player to mount switches for lights. And I cut the "wings" off the grille guard I had picked up at the tear-a-part, fabbed some "custom" brackets out of 3/16" bar steel (meaning I cut it, whacked it with a big hammer, drilled out holes) and mounted it with grade 8 1/2" bolts and...

Couple updates: got my "isolated" dual battery system in. Luckily there was an existing tray unused (it's there for the diesel option) so that made it easy. Used the infamous @evldave post for this setup. Now running wiring for a couple flood lights up front, light bar in the roof and...

New roof rack...happy birthday to me! 84" x 50" x 6" is a perfect fit on top.

Just a few additional notes...haven't done much lately (remodeling the kitchen is taking up my time). I'm gathering supplies for a dual battery setup and got a light bar to go on the roof and a couple of flood pods to go on the front. expecting to get a roof basket shortly (my birthday is coming...

@eaglegsw14 that's actually where I found the grille guard, grill, and plastic interior panel that I picked up.

Painted bumper and grille with bed liner, and installed new lights. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk

Also primed and painted one of my wheels...only started with the one so I knew if I liked it when it was done. And I do. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk

Pulled the chrome trim off the fender flares today, and also removed the plastic valance under the bumper today. Getting ready to mount the grille guard. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk

LOL, I can help out on that BUMP too! I posted this on my build thread, but the $55 Go Rhino Grille/Brush Guard has a new clean finish...cleaned up the rust and flaky paint, hit it with Rustoleum Rust Reformer and then Rustoleum Pro Grade Bed Liner. Need to put the rubber back on the uprights...

Got the grill guard cleaned up and painted. Need to get the rubber trim back on the uprights and install. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk

Haven't made a lot of other progress, as I shifted to Operation "Park-the-wife's-car-in-the-garage-before-it-snows", which was successful. I had a 20' used shipping container dropped next to the house as a new shed/workshop, and that pretty much cleared her spot out.

Following happening now: - Ordered full set of replacement exterior lights (admitting I was wrong) - Went to the pic-a- part to get a grill (mine is broken through at one of the attachment tabs) but didn't find anything but picked up: - Plastic interior panel that was cracked. -...

Picked up some used XD Badlands 18"x9" wheels for $100 for set of 4. Chrome is pretty nasty from road salt. Need to refinish these before I look at mounting and balancing tires and seeing what sort of suspension mods / body...um...work...needs to be done around them for clearance.

Agreed...barn doors were a must when looking for this. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk

I am planning on running a headlight restoration kit over them to clean them up. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk
