Haven't had much time to post up or work on the rig but I did get a few things done and I'm headed out on a trip this afternoon so I thought I'd update.

Dash trim bezel was cracked and the stereo was on the lower level which made it hell to get to so I decided to cut a new one. 16 gauge 12x18 sheet of steel from Lowe's for 14$ and some fine tooth jig blades did the trick. While I was at I removed the lower pocket that was stained and nasty to soak and realize that wouldn't change anything so I painted it as well. Raising the Stereo 4" really helps in reaching it! I have aspirations for some fiberglass kick panels and custom sub but I'll hit that when the weather gets colder.

After the BL I also put the Bumper back on but wanted to raise it up. Some cheap Northern Tool drill bits fought me tooth and nail but I got it on. A re-do to straighten it up later is in order but it's solid and back to matching the body lines. Headed to the mountains chasing the remnants of Sandy to hit my head on some rocks. This is my small camper with this much gear weighs about 850lbs. Tows nicely!
