Damn man! Paint and low is looking great!!

Love AZ. My parents have lived in Prescott (best of both seasons without the extremes) since 85 and I lived in Phoenix and Tucson.

actually me too. Past 3 weeks been straight sun. Last minute summer I guess, very weird for us, staying in the mid 60s. No snow on the mountains yet. That's what motivated me to do all this work within a couple weeks apart. Earlier summer has been shit, raining every day. Cant wait to bounce from here

Bumper cap on while awaiting the clips for the lower valance.


Any ideas on how to fix the common gm truck fender/bumper gap? Super common (99-06) yet nothing really posted on the webs
I was gonna use washer of some sort, trying not to use many washers. Drivers side sits nicely but passenger side says about a half inch. I think the cooperate might be the outer bumper bar that sags. Maybe even a jack and a 2x4 to persuade it back up

I will add that I am barely scraping on my rear drivers side against the inner fender liner where it bulges out to make room for the compressor. So I might look for another liner or notch this one as needed. Dont want to hit a big enough bump that the tire grabs it and rips it out, that doesn't sound like a good time at all
