Took a break from the shelving to trim up the low hanging stock bumper, and also repaint the fading front and rear bumpers + bushbar. Came out pretty good I would say. Heres some before and after pictures.

After trimming (looks much better than stock IMO):

Looking good! That storage system in the back is really coming together and I like what you did with the sub - do your subs actually still work?!?!

No lol, they were trashed when I opened them up, I have some new ones on order from Amazon, hoping they work decent. If not I have a 10" that should fit behind the seats in a shallow housing, might go that route if the stock ones don't thump enough.

The rear storage looks awesome! One question though.
How removable is it? When the fuel pump craps out you'll have to pull out the storage to replace it. And it ALWAYS craps out at the worst place/time. ;)

Thanks! Its coming along well. Its very easy removable. The two side top panels remove with 4 screws each (I always carry a simple tool set), and the rest lifts up and comes out the back hatch as a single unit, just have to fold down the seats. Its awkward to get out, pretty heavy, but not hard.

Built up a little table / camp kitchen for the tailgate. Itching to try this stuff out now...

Well, I learned the sad news about my truck a week or so ago, that the motor was a ticking time bomb. Long story short, with help from Island Dave, I will be combining his old Disco with my black one, to create a single amazing disco LOL.

Process of combining them began today with a front end swap, tomorrow I will begin swapping front axles and suspension to both lift the new vehicle, and hopefully fix the death wobble of the white one once and for all....

I recognize those damn ferry lines!! Went to Vancouver Island last August. Was 3 minutes "late" to make our reservation time. Lost our reservation, got stuck in the standby line, and ended up missing the ferry. Had to wait for the next one. Rolled into Cougar Creek campground after the gate was locked and had to sleep in the car. Love those ferries.
Nice Disco, though. :D
