So the Ocean Pines police put up one of those radar signs near my house so I drove by it at different speeds and my speedometer is dead on accurate for the first time in over 5 years :lol:

Jerry finished up the bumper yesterday so I swung by his place last night after class and we got it put on.

The bumper is really stout. Jerry was sitting on the end of the tire carrier swinging around and it didn't stress the hinge one bit. Now I just need to get the 32 off and mount up the 35, and get some D-rings for it. Also need to figure something out for the 3rd brake light.

Next in the build is installing the posi lock. Ive got all the parts gathered I just need the weather to clear out and warm up a bit.

I've also got a 1.25" Rough Country body lift, as soon as the weather permits I will be putting that in as well.
