Doors are in primer, masked off, etc. The jamb side is ready for some color, but the weather isn't playing along today. I'm hoping to get them completely painted this coming week.

Barely touched 70* today, made a last minute decision around 2 PM to lay on some paint. Came out decent, I'll let them dry the next two days and flip them over Friday morning.

Have been doing some research on rear bumpers, supposedly the stepside is the same as one from an SUV. Scored a nice, used bumper off of craigslist last night.
My father purchased a complete stepside bed with the bumper a few weeks ago. I brought the bumper with me today and compared it to his after lunch. Nearly identical, I had to remove two small plates that were riveted on after I pulled off the plastic trim. This was the last piece of that puzzle. Now if I can get the bed painted before the weather turns cold on a regular basis.

Anything under 70*, and painting gets sketchy. We are having a mild winter so far, last year it was about 20* cooler.

Last trip I made to Orando it was a high of 62 and 30 at night. Still looking for a good used tailgate for the Tundra

Got one door and both door handles painted yesterday. One still needs some fine finishing, hoping to knock it out today and paint it tomorrow. Also trying desperately to get the bed ready and sprayed soon.

Got my doors painted after work today! I'm off tomorrow, going to get them on the truck in the morning if they dried well. I'll have non-dented doors and door panels that aren't falling apart. My next project will be to swap out the rest of the interior pieces and get a radio in it once again.
