And more:

What next?
PTO install
Refurb front bumperettes
Strip, paint, install rear bumperettes
Swap transfer case
Start Cab stripping

I better get the rear bumperettes done so I don't risk that pristine rear panel--thanks John Bizal!!

Thanks Joe,
Weather highs will be in the low 50s mid next week--time to hunt down a space heater for the garage....

Looks good. Don't jepordize what you have already done. When the weather says no more, stop painting.

Today will be my last shot this year, with temps in the 60s-the bottom falls out on Tuesday, and snow is predicted by this coming weekend. I'll get back on some of the mechanicals via garage and space heater-can't risk painting in that type of domain....
Thanks to all!
Gary

Well, no shot today either-had a loose filling so off to the dentist. Rain and snow is moving in, so I'll be moving into the cave for any further work until spring.

I always get a little jelous of the guys who live in the warm southern states like Texas who post pics of them painting in t-shirts and shorts in January....while I'm hunkered down in my house wishing I could even get to the garage to turn a wrench.... :)

Yeah, when I lived in California I had year-round weather to cooperate when I wanted to work on the M but no garage. Now I have a garage but need a space heater for the winter stretch. I do have an opportunity the next two days to spray primer then color coat on my front and rear bumperettes (spent 4 hours today repairing the fronts-welding up some torn up holes and cracks on the corners). My welding skills are improving but I still have a way to go.
