Just some pictures from today.
rear bumper back on
Pool Noodles
Just a garage shot
Pool noodle install…after removing the inner fender lining to chop the fenders, it left an area in front of the door hinges for mud to collect:
A pool noodle fills the gap nicely
Today I installed the factory nutstrips in the rear framerail for the hitch and gas tank skid, instead of the stupid carriage bolts and spacers that came with my hitch…
…the stack of parts in my room is dwindling quickly!
More pictures from today…
horns relocated
wheels back on (looks good flareless)

plenty of room for 33’s in the front now 
Now it will go back into the garage so I can work on the back end, and possibly install my new TC skid this week

Been in the garage for 9 hours today, so here’s some progress pictures….

In order to install this brace, I had to drill a hole in my new bumper bracket. It worked out great.
