Default Busy Day - painted grill, leveled and removed step bars

Had a productive day in the garage yesterday and thought I would share.

I decided to paint my grill to match the car. I figured if it didn't turn out I could always just get it line-Xed. I like it so far but it still needs to be polished, Hopefully it will hold up but time will tell.

I cranked the T-bars and removed the step bars as well. Still need to get an alignment.

Thanks to this forum for the inspiration and information!

your grill looks great man! Did you notice any difference in the leveling and what height did you take it to?

Thanks Mr Fancy Pants. Honestly, I haven't driven much at all since leveling but I did notice the steering seemed to be looser. Like when you have a heavy load in a pickup truck sort of. I'm thinking it may be due to the camber change from not having it aligned yet. Or maybe it's just my imagination.

I tuned them 5 times for the driver side and 6.5 on the passenger to get to 23 7/8.

Looks great! Can't believe spray paint matched that well.

Mud tires and a black bull bar would make it look good too. Just put some Fierce Attitude MT's on mine. They come in white letter. Cool looking tires and they're pretty cheap (for a mud tire).
