Not done it today, but yesterday I hand polished the whole truck.
Took me 2.5 hrs, with MER polish, looks mint.
Very easy to buff up, even when its been on a while.

Ordered some new Nightbreaker Ultimate bulbs, after getting pulled over last night by Plod, the N/S dipped beam is out. It started to get serious when he realised I has 3 rifles in the truck. Turns out he's a fellow shooter in his spare time. Looks like I may have a new friend

I fitted a pair of Ring Rally Giant+ spots to the front of mine yesterday and wired them up today.

Found out that there's a feed to the headlamps which is live when sidelights or full beam are on. Oops. When I tested the wires I just checked that it was live with full beam and not live with dipped. Neglected to check if it was live with sidelights.

So, next weekend I'll be rewiring my spotlights to the correct wire!!

I attempted to tint out the side windows on my canopy. I partially succeeded, they are dark enough to not see tools in there, but by no means a great job
