That's general idea.. Bumper still hold license plate and trailer plug.. Plus its part of the hitch. Bumper also act like and anti sail bracket for the mud flaps.

Finally took the 2 hours to fix the hydroboost today. Its only been months upon months that its been leaking. :rolleyes: That troublesome piston seal had a 1" rip in it. :eek: Ah well, no leaks now. Not too bad a job other than the two nuts inside the cab partially hidden by the brake pedal and column bracket. Those were fun.

On to the Transfer case tomorrow.

Quick question: When you guys replace the brake feed lines from the master cylinder to the ABS module, how do you avoid getting air into the ABS module, necessitating using a Tech2 to bleed it?

So finally got my porter cable 7424xp da buffer/ polisher in the mail. Ordered up some pads for it and whatnot all from autogeek. So I buffed the tailgate after I wet sanded with 1500 and 2000 grit. All I gotta say is "HOLY SHIT!!!" Everyone should own one....man it makes it easy and the shine is like a mirror

It was kinda foggy like so, obviously from sanding and now its smooth and super shiney.

Why thank you sir. I haven't seen it in sunlight so that will be the real deciding factor, but with a few more cans I bet it would look even better. Not to mention next time I do something like this I'll be sanding even more. But yea I was really impressed with the duplicolor product
