Can barely tell the difference without them it was that faded. Separates when you look at it funny, must have been on there 15 years.

What you can tell the difference with is hitting the plastic moulds with bumper paint. Looks a million bucks, sort of.

Prepped with wax & grease remover and also trimmed the rear plastic guards due to some rubbing.

Any particular bumper paint ? I might give this one a crack myself.

Have tried a few times to get pics uploaded. Gave up. Installed some leds attached to the shelf frame and the cargo barrier. The cargo barrier ones light up the rear and the cabin too. Also installed the shelf above the compressor which has an aluminum battery tray for my battery box (haven't installed the tie-down strap yet). The led light switch is a missile switch with blue on-led wired direct to main car battery and fused. I wanted to have light in the boot without having to have the ignition on (which the Anderson plug does). The leds were adhesive backed already, stuck them to aluminum strips then double sided taped them to the frame, heat shrink and zip ties where appropriate.

I have a camping trip with my three daughters coming up so wanted to get everything done by then.

Also replaced the tailgate struts so now I don't have to jam a broom under it to hold it up!

Will try again to add pics of the cargo area...

Pics didn't work. As usual. If anyone is interested I will email or text them to you. Pm me if interested. Cheers, Squire.

I used "dupli color bumper black" on mine. Worked a treat.

So the diff is in but realize now I've got to ream out my pitman arm. Also got a cross threaded fitting on the hard line side of the power steering pump.

Anyone got a 5/8" reamer and drill I can borrow before I go buy one this morning, likewise spare high pressure power steering line south side of Sydney?
