Rear Bumper Cover Delete

What kind of rear you gonna run? I’ve been keeping up with the build and she’s coming along nicely. With your suspension set up, anything else you do to it is just icing on the cake!

@TOTAL CHAOS
everything is going together quite nicely w minimal cutting and grinding on the tower gussets. Thank You!!

Waiting on hardware for my headers so I did some ugly grill make over. Had the paint laying around. Don't know if I like the red...

Copy that, back to the edit room. For some reason I can't post pics in sequence with captions anymore. I think people tend to get more info out of seperate pics that have descriptions for each one. Guess I could jack my post count up.

DT LT Header install-remix
Sorry I messed up my formatting on my earlier header post, I used to be able to post pics with captions and forgot how or the site has changed. I will put these in series:
So with a TC/King dual shock set up w tower gussets done a year before the header GB, access to headers would be even more limited in an already tight space to work in. I had to decide whether to do the job myself or have my buddies (3rd Gen owner) shop do it. He glanced it over and said it might prove to be a good idea to pull the engine and replace rear seal (150K miles on truck), starter and a few other odds and ends. Timing belt only has 15k miles on it.
With my retirement looming in the next 10 years, I have to quit dumping money into these trucks and start saving lol. So I opted to go the painful route of doing it myself.
I have to say Doug Thorley's instructions were pretty helpful and I muddled my way through it. Took me 2.5 days working for a couple hours at a time so as not to get frustrated and make stupid mistakes.

I hit all the hardware with Sea Foam Deep Creep a couple times the day before I started. First I raised the Runner on jack stands and removed the y pipe from the oem manifolds, removed the King secondaries, and then removed the driver side heat shield. I removed the CAI, then two bolts for the lower motor mount and jacked the passenger side of the engine up 2" and removed the 2 dip stick tubes and the heat shield.

Working around the tower gussets to access the bolts behind it proved to be quite the socket attachment puzzle. Gaining the right angle with the right swivel attachments combined with a long extension and breaker bar was a brain teaser, but the Sea Foam did it's job and even with extreme angles they all came loose. I hit the studs with another shot of Sea Foam as they had to be removed with just as much care using a 7mm socket and the menagerie of extensions and swivels and a breaker bar. All this was 3/8" drive because I don't think 1/2" would clear a lot of the angles needed.
