Its the Little Things (FIXED)

So i know there are lost of threads about "What did you do to your truck today", or The big fixes" This is more the little things that anyone could do/ that might not make any real difference to your truck other then making you smile.

Here is mine this past week:

New bumper:

but first here is the old bumper


Mid change


new bumper no plastic yet and only held on with one bolt and good hopes


before i get it all tighten up look at the bumper gap


After the new bolts to hold it on


Finally the finished product


Here is my tail gate before i rocker guarded it


And after


Let me know what you think!

The little things. I put on a new bumper too! Except I have a different one




Then I took off the windshield trim, mirrors, pilar grab handles, outer bed tie downs



Then I painted them black, re-installed them, and gave her a bath.

I like the idea behind this thread. It really is the little things that bother me more than anything sometimes even if its something stupid no one else would notice. The big projects are awesome but sometimes even something as silly as a wiper being set on a truck wrong will annoy people to death. Or your like me and have to do stupid projects first then the fun stuff.
