Hood and grille have been painted and put on. Bought both through certifit, and the scoop insert direct from toyota.
Also swapped over my Alpine stereo head unit and cb radio. The CB is a Cobra 18WXSTII.

Thanks guys!
No rear bumper yet. It is on the list. Hopefully soon. That will be the last piece of chrome! (besides the rear emblems)

Thanks man! I had a guy I use to work with paint them for me. He charged me $140 out the door. Maaco quoted me just over $200, and I'm confident that the guy I use to work with did just as good, if not a better job than they would have.Looks badass. You paint the hood yourself or have someone else do it? What it cost you?
Look forward to you ditching that chrome rear bumper

Looking great, Jeff. I'd say the new canvas was worth it =p.
Am I crazy, or is there some condensation in the headlights? They look kinda foggy in the snow wheeling picture, and the last one with the hood. Maybe I've lost it.

You know I noticed that in the last snow picture too, and now that you mention it, it kind of looks like it in that last picture outside too. I think it is just dirt/slush on the outside in the snow picture, and sun glare in the outside picture. At least that's what I'm going to tell myself. I'll take a closer look later tonight. I really hope there isn't.

They look pretty dry on the inside. I think it was just stuff on the outside in both those pics.
Today I did a test fitment for the rear bumper. There is a lot of rust on the bumper. I was going to just grind it off and re-paint it, but I think it'll be worth it to get it sand blasted and powder-coated.
Taking the stock bumper off...

Big thanks to Gerdo for lending a hand this weekend. We got my panhard drop bracket all welded up. He happened to still have the cardboard template that he used to cut out the cross brase gusset for the bracket so that was really helpful!
Also extended the rear sway bar endlinks by putting some front sway bar endlinks on the rear sway bar. That was a tongue twister.
I got a lot more to do in the next 2 weeks before my Moab trip! I'll be updating with more stuff soon.
