my 98 stepside project

Possibly hitting up the pic n pull tomorrow.. Hope to find an easy windshield and rear window to pull, and two 95+ doors.. And wishfully the trim piece that goes on the rear of the headliner for the extended cab..
Wanna find good doors for the 98, the sport doors are recessed for interior strap/ handle in the center of the upper brace.. 95+ have the recess 2/3 towards the mirror for the handle. Plus the sport doors need to be stripped, and I don't care to do that again.. Lol

Just downloaded a new photobucket app.. Idunno why my old one don't work.

Here's after I welded up the access hole in the floor and just did bedliner.
Also wife decided I should do a roll pan instead of a bumper..

And if the wife wants a rolled pan then a rolled pan it is,

Got the bed mounted today. Decided to say screw it and shave the fuel door and reuse the pop up fuel filler again.. Lol
Made a cardboard template and shaped a piece of metal to make a cover for the tube running through the bed. I'll bedline it later. Not what I had planned to accomplish today.. But I guess it was a pretty decent day.

Thanks brother! I'm probably going to put the fugly wheels back on just to be able to back it up closer to the shed, then really start going on the body panel swaps and bodywork. Torn on sectioning the front bumper.. Think I might use the Sports bumper to do it in case I don't like it. Plus it's a painted bumper already

I would have to see the bumper sectioned, sounds interesting, the only thing I personally don't care for is when people tuck the front bumper, to me it makes the front look strange and completely flat.

I am still hunting for a sunroof like yours, just can't find any anywhere near here, but the search continues.

Thank god I'm not the only one who thinks that!!

I'm wondering about just bringing the sides in a little more.

I'm still keeping an eye out for more at our pic n pull, Idunno why they got rid of the other Rovers. I know they had a weekend long half off sale a few weeks ago.. I'm guessing they got ***** pretty good. I couldn't find anything I wanted. But did find the few interior pieces for the extended cab, and honestly didn't expect to ever find those.. Lol I'm praying they refresh the inventory soon. I hate when they do those sales.

Yeah the sides do stick out too much for sure.
