..and finally erased the memory of my totalled 2nd gen.



TJM which I ended up powdercoating. Iy has a color coat and then a clear on top which should make it a little more durable.

Cost ? $75 and a 12 pack to the dude who did the wheels.

I am now saving for sliders and hopefully an ARB in time for winter.
Winch will have to follow next year or if a deal drops in my lap.

BTW, I now have Toyota OEM front end with 3/8" 'andyspacers'. I noticed a slight vibration nowat 65-70 mph which was not there before but I still need to iron out my skidplate fit issues ( I have remounted it per Steve's detailed instructions but mine still touches diff carrier with central bolts).

More pics later as I have been busy....

Looking real nice man, I like the color coordinated bumper! How bad is that rack cutting into your fuel mileage though?

Never checked my mpg to be honest. I have my S4 for trips longer than about 50 miles and even on premium, it works out cheaper to use that.

However, I have an 85 F-150 with a 351 Windsor and a 4 barrel 600cfm carb that gets about 12 mpg, uphill, down hill or off a cliff It got 8 mpg when I got it so I have increased mpg by 50%

so after that, I really don't check mpg
