Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I got a little bit done today.

I checked into getting the front bumper painted. I can get it sandblasted and powder coated for $125.00 but I'll have to bring it in to the paint shop for an estimate.

I might do that Friday morning on my way to pick up the cowl from the epoxy primer guy.

I also cleaned up some screws and asked on here about removing and replacing the heater box caulk.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Added a new rear bumper and new bumper brackets. It doesn't seem to look right though. Brand new premium bumper. Doesn't it look like it is angled down? Is this right?

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Any chance it is a Fleetside bumper? Or brackets are on the wrong side R&L. Never mounted a Stepside bumper, but that doesn't look right. Beautiful Truck!

That would be my guess. It took me FOREVER to get my back fleetside bumper aligned with a new bumper/brackets. Fitting around the NLE tank and porterbuilt rear frame brace didn't help either.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I found a crack in my passenger side ram horn. I bought a decent set locally for $20. The only issue I ran into was the new set was the alt. mount type. Instead of modifying the alternator mount to work, I modified the manifold.

More done today than in a long time!

I checked on getting the front bumper sandblasted and painted.

I called but could not reach the media blaster guy that has my cowl.

I drilled out the rivets on the heater box, removed most of the old caulk, washed the heater box, and have some of its internals soaking in Evaporust.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I didn't do much but I did a little. Moved my grill over to my parents' garage, where I'll have more room to work on it.

I NAPA Rust Treated the driver side grill bracket and primed and top coated the passenger side one.
