She's done!....

[foolkiller]

... . with the mods listed and a few "minor but what you'd expect mods" not listed. aside from protecting my trans lines under the radiator somehow and deciding on where to mount my trans temp guage, this truck is reached the point of maintenance and repairs only.



i know there's not much to say, i'm just happy and decided to share.

thanks dave.



at home, posing i guess, is usually where the camera is. i rarely remember to pack it and when i do i usually forget to break it out. more likely to see it playing in the snow anyway. kinda played out on the desert thing..... unless its a full moon like it was tuesday night. moon made it awesome. played at buttercup tuesday night. forgot to take out the camera but did notice they were building something big on the north side of the canal... ... looked like a race course. they had it all lit up most of the night. anyone know whats up with it??

So did you hit the race hill ?

Try a front receiver hitch to protect your transmission lines up front as well as protect the cooler stack. The hidden hitch version can be modified so the receiver pokes through the air dam instead of sticking out underneath.



Beautiful truck. I really like the camper shell that makes it look like a SUV.

The 2 lines you see up front are p/s cooler lines. Yes they are vital if you like to be able to steer or brake

it's a leer..... 100xq or something like that. it's pretty easy to spot on their web site. i like it for my purposes. i really don't want a topper on the truck but i "need" it for my hobbies. seems to be a good unit. cost is stoopid high, i think partly because i'm in socal where price gouging is a way of life. .



some don't care for leer or this particular topper... ... do search for it. there are some mentions of it and some problems that i personally haven't had.
