[Slacker]

bonding strips made and installed

[Slacker]

finished up the patch panels today , some seam seal and POR15 and we are ready to install the panel perminantly

[Slacker]

so before attaching the panel , its easiest to drill and install the nutcerts for the fuel filler pocket

also , David wanted a new rear bumper
so we ordered in the TG unit .. got it all prepped and painted today

[Slacker]

clamps off today , and wanted to check fit of the gate before we do the new gate panel ..
body lines were great





so now time to tear down the gate
