In the sun the color was right in but in the shade it was no so I had to repaint the grille and thought I’ll do the bumper too.

You can also see I got rid of my pods under the bumper and added dual 8” spot single row light bars. More light then the cubes, more hidden and less in the way Incase I go through something deep. More pics along the color match

The Thermo 4x4 acuator tooked about 15 seconds for it to engaged, so I did the electric upgrade with wiring harness to fix that. Now it switches to 4wd in about 2 seconds

Well I didn't like the 8 wide inch rims, wanted some 10 wides, so I found a good deal on some Procomp 252 15x10s that are -44 offset with fake bead locks.
