So i've slowly been upgrading my base 4x4
My front bumper was starting to show some rust, so I purchased a black one brand new from ebay and spray bombed it myself using paint from automotivetouchup . Since my old bumper was so rusty I had to buy a new lower valance, and also had to buy both of the metal plates that hold the upper and lower valance. which added some unwanted costs to my project.
The lower valance fitment wasnt greatest but for $33 I wont complain.
Also purchased some used xenon flares used from ebay. I like the look, but im missing the two rear pieces that go on the rear bumper. Im going to try to call xenon one day and see how much just the two pieces would be ... But overall im happy with the look
Also I painted my rocker panels with some spray on bedliner sine they were pretty beat up . I like the way it come out.
In between projectes I painted my frame with POR15, this project was a bigger paint in the ass then you would think. But I got it done, and it looks great.
PICS
FUTURE PLANS
-I plan on painting the flares and the lower and uper bumper vailance with sprayon bedliner.
-I also plan on painting the rear bumper to match the body color, but im waiting to see how the front holds up . And Im still debating wether I want to just paint the chrome or if I should bite the bullet and buy a black one and paint that.
Heres how the truck looked the day i got it
