I finished the lift and have one picture so far to compare. The install went well and only took about 3.5 hours, thanks to using a shop lift and an extra set of hands. I found a little place to go trail ride this weekend in Volusia county so I'll get good pictures then. But here's the last couple until I bust out the Nikon.

The first photos below, the top pic is stock obviously, but what's funny is the color it looks is probably what the paint looked like before fading. The 2nd photo is closer to how it looks in person. I'm hoping to repaint back to the stock vibrancy.

That 3rd photo is from the Lake Apopka wildlife drive. It was pretty cool but a Prius could have made the drive. The whole way was that flat compacted gravel.

The bronze on that wheel is a nice change from silver. Looks good. Did you have those painted or is that just a rattle can finish? Looks good either way. Will be curious how they hold up over time.

It's automotive paint and 2 or 3 coats of matte clear. Should hold up great. I have a friend that paints hotrods and he did it.

I also just used the Eastwood plastic resurfacer on my running boards. Clean on the left, sprayed on the right

Added these door handles. I think they are cool.
