some recent additions

Here are some pics after some recent projects. I got new wheels and tires (BFG AT/KO's 31x10.50x15 on Cragar black soft 8s. Then I sprayed the chrome bumper with Duplicolor bed coating. I also did this to the step bars a while back. I had sprayed the valance as well, but it chips and peels after a while, so I took it off. The bed coating just sticks better to metal.

I'm trying to get rid of all the chrome on the truck, that why i'm keeping the center caps off.

i sanded by valance down with some 220 before I sprayed it and there aren't any chips, I used two whole cans on it, too.
i may spray them again and sand them better next time. it does take a lot of paint.

I had the coated valance with the chrome bumper for a while, but I wanted to go black with it. Next is the rear bumper. It looks like i have to take the spare and the hitch off to get the rear bumper off. When I get a few days off, i'll try getting to that. I also have a LS sitting in my house waiting to be installed. All it takes is time and money, and I'm running low on both right now.
