New bumps installed and I made some plates to hopefully make these one last a little longer and possibly work better too!
Nothing like a sketchy lathe setup on a Sunday.

They work good. Definitely added some bottoming resistance.
They just don’t make things like they used too. These $8 foam bump stops only lasted 3 seasons. Got a little too rowdy at KOH I guess. Going to try some washers on the bottom side this go around.
Truck has been sitting since KOH. Starting knocking off little things. The factory hood release was dying and was definitely going to fail at the worst time. Custom TIG welded, machined hood pins installed.

Most importantly try to work less, I have some control over this and am going to make a big effort to not be there as much.
