It worked really well. The overspray of the black and brown really looks great. I tried taping off at first on one part but it didn't look right. I am working outside and the sun really bakes the paint rather quickly.
I would recommend it. Easy to use.
Brush guard is on!
Replaced the rear main seal and filled the fluids. Flexible brake hoses and new parking brake assembly installed.
After filling the coolant noticed the water pump leaking.
So while replacing the water pump. I replaced the fan, fan shroud, hydraulic fan clutch, and all of...
Thank you.
As far as brush guard I have the flat style.
I installed the brush guard brackets and bumper this past weekend.
I was changing the belts and hoses and found the coolant tube from the radiator to the water pump rust pitted.
Orderd more parts. Hopefully I can get the rear main seal...
Good to know on the light bar. If your having them made maybe have an extra set made and I will buy them.
The paint is behr color matched from a 3 point seat belt bracket. The black and brown are rustoleum.
I have decided to go with a 4 door softtop configuration and also purchased the cargo area cover as well.
With everything else the truck needed I figured best to address all of its issues before the slant back.
I believe I have 90% of everything I need to repair the truck, but time will tell.
Ok it's been a while since I updated my progress. I have stripped the body of everything so that when spring comes I can pull it off to replace the wiring harnesses, glow plugs, and fix anything out of place.

I am going to go with the body removal approach I think. I don't need to drive it so I want to fix everything right the first time then enjoy it for a while.
I appreciate your insight on this. A wise man once told me you can't beat a man at his own game.
The parts list is going to be long...
