Well, I got a couple of things done today.
First off, I was able to get the bed mounted. My mom & step-dad had shown up on their way back up to Colorado, so I was able to get my step-dad’s help in getting the bed put back on.
After my folks left, I went ahead and put the new lenses in, rewired the electrical, and remounted the bottle opener.
This one makes me realize how much I need to do on the front after the Elk hunt in October.
And finally, I started stripping down the bumpers, getting them ready to go for powder coating this week.
This coming week, I’ve also got an appointment with the Line-X guys on Thursday. I think I’m going to go ahead and shoot the bed in black, as I can’t quite justify the $300 additional it would take to color match the vehicle. In addition to that, (and after listening to my wife and buddies Taz & Jeffica), I think I’m going to re-do the lower body line in black.
I think the lining over the top, the lower body line in black & the black powder coated bumpers will look sharp in contrast to the orange.
Anyway, that’s my updates for today.
