Sweetness is upon you as each day rises!!

Good job on the gauges. I've been meaning to get the pod like that b/c of the itty bitty tweetah. Newman linked me to it. Where'd you get that one since I probably missed your post about it.

actually i drove it yesterday lol. had move the plow so i could get it.out the the way for the.motor swap.

and i wasnt exactly easy on the truck when i did it... there are now 4" ruts in my yard from my truck sinking lol.

like i said it hasnt moved an inch. gonna get a nutsert or something similar and use that to attach the pod to the pillar. it definitely fits better without the factory pillar cover behind the pod.
