Looking good, but I still want to sandblast & powdercoat the whole front bumper eventually.



The aftermarket DOT-legal projector headlights work better than I expected, but the cheapo HID ballasts didn't last, so I'm using the included halogen bulbs.

The LEDs under the door mirrors also work better than I expected, and are very functional.



Unfortunately, the powdercoater I had been using went out of business. The bigger one can't do small jobs like this any more. And I've heard too much negative about the other to even risk it. One of these days, I might build my own oven. The big shackles are silent when I'm driving, secure when parked, and easy-to-use when wheeling. The grill guard has proven endlessly useful, and surprisingly sturdy; both hitting trees when up as shown, and hauling trees, deer, bulky parts, or passengers when folded down.
