    See what you have time for now that you are not trying to keep that black paint perfect looking. Cool project!

    Last weekend I pulled the bumper in anticipation of the NFAB coming back from the powder coater.

    I also got the Propex heater mounted and the gas line run. There is a gap between the box and the frame where the duct will through and up inside the fender to feed the truck bed/Vagabond Nomad. I will run the duct this weekend and add the intake and exhaust. It sits up nice and high still allowing me to ford almost to the top of the 35's. I had propane guy mount the quick connect (bottom rear passenger side of the cab)and run/test the propane line. I thought about using soft copper but in the end decided on the rubber hose because I thought it would take more bumps and jars without issue.

    Finally got back to work on the Tundra this weekend. My job has been crazy with this Covid thing. Camo'd the power tanks propane tank and mounted it on the tailgate. Also shot the bumper cover and front fenders. I'm kind of dreading doing all four doors. Decided to take the windows out and replace all the window molding.

    No waxing or sealing. Wait and see on how durable it will be but a guy on another forum painted his truck in Cerakote and has no scratches after some hardcore AZ pinstriping. You can clean it with Acetone!

    N-Fab Bumper is on with holes drilled for parking sensors. Propex duct holes are drilled. RCI skid plate is installed. Base coat is applied to the passenger side doors. 100aH deep cycle battery is in. Waiting on a Rigid bracket for Rough Country light bar install in the bumper. I will post up some pics this weekend. :)

    Wound up tweaking the camo pattern a bit. Need to figure out how to fix the gap on the Sequoia TRD Grille.

    Wound up replacing the Window Glass Runs, Belt Moldings and Door Gasket since I had parked this thing in the AZ sun for 4 years. Also got my 304 stainless tailgate kitchen work surface and installed the parking sensors in the N-Fab covers...

    Just have the roof, jamb and driver's side doors left. Instead of piece-milling what's left I am doing it all at once. If we need a second car during it we will just have to Uber. It's getting hot and I have to get it done!

    Just guessing based on Saturdays and Sunday work... 160 hours?

    It's coming! Ordered a Vagabond Nomad which is in line for December build.

    Worked on the truck all day in the heat. Should have final painting done Monday morning early. I will post pics when it is put back together.

    Been trying to get my wife to take some better pictures with her good camera but not sure when that will happen. It got to hot here so I will have to wait to paint the fender flares but other than that and the Vagabond Camper when it gets here, the exterior paint is basically done. The first picture is more true of the colors, at least on my monitor.
