Update on my truck so far

 

It depends...what are you on? I'm kidding!

If you do see a 12 foot green dragon talking with an irish dialect let me know.

 

I think he is referring to the bicycle handlebars for your hold-down.

The dragon was here last week. We shared a pint, and then he was off again.

 

Yep. handlebars hold down...in middle of be.....Dragon was here lst nigh - and we shared four pints......head hurts today....

 

I replaced my worn out original shocks with KYB monomax shocks.It made a huge difference in the way my truck rides and handles.I didn't realize how bad the old shocks were until I pushed down on the bumper with the old shocks removed and couldn't tell any difference from when they were bolted on.

 

Just put new tow mirrors on this weekend. I don't need to tow anything, I just like the look. They're a little too big looking since my truck sits low, but I'm sure they'll look more fitting when I lift it.

I also uploaded some more pics in my profile album if you wanna see.

 

I'd also suggest checking your wallets for missig cash and jewelry boxes for anything of value that might be gone. Quite the scoudrel at times, be he.

As far as the handlebars...well I'm a recycler and the bike was unusable in its purchased state. So parts of it became the handle.

Also finished the raw shape of the top for my fuse box

 

I hand made a heat shield/CAI and an e-fan shroud for my dodge the past couple weekends, check it out

Sprayed on one last coat of etching primer and two coats of black metallic base on the bed of my Ram. Doing it in sections to eliminate overspray. Plan to shoot clear on bed tomorrow (will have to skip out of work for the afternoon...hehe....)

 

After a long day of cleaning/ straightening out the garage, finally got around to painting the grill guard I bought from forum member, "FireDodge". I think the flat black look, should go well with the flat black of the bed-liner I coated my roll bar, and bed caps, and bottom of truck with. I left the vertical posts of the grill guard stainless/ chrome, and painted the rest. Also picked up a couple more 6 inch lights from harbor freight, to install up front in the grill guard. Just need to buy some 100w bulbs, another relay and switch, and wiring.

Cleaned garage. Notice the spare intake, ready to be modified.


Sprayed one side of the bars, then realized i'd have to wait until tomorrow to flip 'em and spray the other side, so I hung 'em from the ceiling, so I could get both sides painted, and let dry/ cure until next weekend, I'll remount them on the truck. Can also see the other 2 lights I bought, being painted black, so the metal housings dont rust. Getting excited to get this all done, mounted, and mount the other 2 lights on, and get them wired. Should look similar to an airplane coming in for a landing by the time I get all the lights working.
