Well, it's been long enough! Finally got all my "stuff". Please bear in mind that I have 1 more step to complete the front end: I decided to have the push guard powder coated.... with a twist (another secret ). But here's a few photos before I took the push guard off (KCs are not bolted down or aligned):




I can see clearly now... at night anyway

DONE! I finally got the push guard back from the powder coater. And no, your eyes aren't messing with you, I did get it done in metallic gray. It doesn't match exactly, but it's close enough.

Thanks guys!

That's to the trickle charger for the Optima battery. AGMs like to have more constant charging, and when I don't drive the truck for a few days, I just plug it in. That's why I have a 100 watt solar panel for when we camp for more than 1 day without driving anywhere (I run an ARB fridge 24/7)
