Got the rear bumper on. Still need to finish clearing the tails and 3rd to really finish the look of the A $$ but getting there. Also ditched those horrid alumanized pathetic excuse for carriage bolts and replaced with SS actual carriage bolts lol those factory things were horrid.
Also put a coat of max coat wheel guard on the bumper (or my son did lol.) bec321c853dbc41f9d93047e1eb4c625.jpg44c6a7e1677621e8ff38e7a2b86fc9a8.jpg77549a2343e31e4ad806fa9882cf48b6.jpg6aad965e294fef32ee96f2d63681cdb6.jpga29b2e1636e384579027c3525b678ef0.jpg90d0769f37303b872a2b094aae6b79ed.jpg

Lol, yeah, it looks good, trooper. Why not white, though? Now you have to paint your lower body line of the sides and front bumper black to match the rear, haha.

Forgot you had the nfab, lol. But nah, i meant the body line and below. The area where your door spears are. It'd have to be black to match the bumper.

Steps don't count, they're not at the same height as the bumper. ;) Now, if you had a tow hitch that was black, THAT would match the step bars. [emoji14]

Wheweeeeee let's leave the designing up to me there buddy lol
No I would NEVER put black paint on my beautiful white truck, never ever ever. If you haven't noticed every one of my vehicles including my dirtbike is white.....

The look of the truck is a solid white body including handles and mirrors, with black accents. That's it.

I don't want no ugly old black rockers when mine are beautiful glistening white 199d7b2436223bfce8ad029db3146813.jpg

Ah, I see. Sorry bout that, then. Now that I understand it better, your right. Still technically doesn't match for me, but that's just me.

Looks great, man. 10x better than the chromie.

I live a extremely busy life but things have been insane lately so haven't really had time to work on anything but had enough free time tonight to get my tows taped up and sanded. I'm really hoping I can get time to get em primed and sanded tomorrow so they can be 100% ready for paint whenever I get time again to spray. Got these and my handles to do still along with clearing my tails and 3rd470e9702137a1caec0f39127e07a5637.jpg

Got the mirrors washed, degreased, adhesion promoter and then primed. I'll sand em smooth this week and Hoping next weekend I'll have the time to get the paint and clear on.
I really need to invest in some good lamps so I can paint at night, only being able to paint with the daylight through the skylight sucks dbe78c127a52a0c0ada5aaec23e93fff.jpg
