Not much done, I’ve been busy with work and scouts. I thought I’d escaped that, but the group asked me to stay on to mentor the new leaders.
Found some 235/75/15’s for a decent price, they mounted up ok on my new rims. Little more room for clearance on the fenders. Speaking of that, I painted them with rattle can box liner, got them mounted tonight. Just some lag bolts through the sides. I may add a bracket , they seem fairly stiff but I’m not sure if they will last if someone sits on them. I’ll dig through my scrap pile, I think I have some 2x1/8” flat bar that would work. Just butyl between the fenders and body for now.
Got the last couple feet of trim on, not my finest work but it’s not bad enough to change out. I’m sure it won’t bother me every time I look at it. Much.
A buddy has an old cargo rack, I’m going to mount that on the tongue with the battery, it can hold that and the spare. Probably be room for the cooler as well.
Got the gas struts mounted for the rear hatch, they are just strong enough. Lucky guess, and a light door. I’ll need to replace the screws on the door with bolts, they aren’t holding very well. Minor details.
