My New Trooper

Man, That is a great idea. I wish I had done that years ago.

BTW, how's the old girl holding up? I still miss her!
 
Its doing good. I have had 0 problems so far. I think I am about to strip the rear bumper and have it powder coated but other than that, all is good.
 
New Warn hubs

Installed some warn hubs today. One of my aisin hubs was giving me problems and replacement parts have been hard to find. I like that the warn hubs are strong, and most of the parts can be easily be replaced.

Hubs Compared.

You can see the Warn is a little bit longer, but I think it will be OK

Fresh paint

So my sliders and rear bumper where looking a little raggered. The paint on the sliders was fading...

and the cheap spray bed liner on the rear bumper was flaking off....

So I sanded/ stripped them down and repainted them with some good Rust-oleum "hammered" paint.

And now they look like this...

What a difference some fresh paint makes!

I had no idea the bumper weighed soooooo much. I bet it weighs 200lbs. I bet with the custom rear, arb front, winch, and sliders I added 800 pounds....:Wow1:
