Update time.
About 2-3 weeks ago my dad called and said I had a flat tire, probably got a screw or something in the tire... this was the week after I'd been at the marina so I figured it happend there.
Well, there was no screw but a 1" tear going from rim and out on the inside of the wheel... the tire had torn apart by it self. The tires look brand new (no wear at all) but production date says week 20 of 2001... so 13 years old... I figured if one of the tires could just tear like that the rest would/might follow soon so new tires where ordered.
I picked up my new tires before the weekend, had them mounted and balanced and put them on the truck. The following Monday I took the truck to the safety control place so they could check the replaced upper ball joint and she passed with flying colors, she is now road legal 'til end of June, 2015.

This weekend I finally got my cargo lights working after getting a different set of LED's.
5x 5050 SMD LED's: Xenonwhite Cargo light & Red 3rd Brake light

(The white isn't that blue in real life and the red is not orange in the middle...)
I also put in the last blue LED's in the door switches and soldered the LED's in the 4x4 buttons and the Air Bag switch, forgot to take pics put it turned out great. Then I decided that there was no point in waiting so I started with my grille. All chrome is roughed up with sandpapper and the white stuff is some type of epoxy, hopefully that will take care of the holes. Next weekend I'll do some more sanding and hopefully paint it. It'll be black for now since I don't have any matching blue.
One last picture with the face intact...

Questions, should I use regular primer or plastic primer (primer for plastic car parts)? Or... first plastic primer and then regular primer? The plastic primer don't look like primer, it's clear...
Do I have to rought up the chrome more than in the pic for paint to stick well?
