Roof rack will block most sun anyways. Just want it to match so it doesn't look weird. Probably going to weld the sun roofs shut too. No sense in looking at the bottom of a rack.

Can you snag about a 15' pic of how the fuel door looks? I'd appreciate it. :-D
You can email it to me if you like.

Installed my front HD drive flanges and put the rears on my Ashcroft axles that will go in next week after I rebuild the diffs. Nothing too exciting today.

Removed the bottom front air dam with the fog lights, trimmed the end caps to end under the real bumper. Had to bend one side back into place. Re-tightened auto trans fluid cooler. Drove around.

As you can see, I stripped, finished, and rebuilt the handles as well. Made improvements by replacing springs with lighter springs, and replacing hard bump stops with rubber stops. No more clack when letting go.

Eric, thanks for the pics. Looks good. What's with all the reflective tape, are you a fireman or something? :-D

Had the tape lying around. Decided to (over)use it for better night visibility.
