also I did this:


Im not sure if I love it or absolutely hate it yet...I'm going to make it run the length of the truck and maybe add a smaller strip on one side of the stripe about an inch wide....

My Progress-

My FIRST time using a plasma torch and my first time welding, a buddy gave me a 10 minute crash course on each, and when I had time went to his garage and had at it..

Now weld these 3 together, than start on bottom half, than alot of grinding, paint, than install lights and license plate... hopefully I finish soon..

(no money for a winch.. Ill get that added on later, but the mount will be on frame, and so all I have to do is cut hole for cable and mount the cable guide on front.. )

Custom Short Ram Intake! Now to trade out my filter for a K&N.
I cut the 3" hole in the fender for the airbox into a 5"x5" square, hope that will help.

Now we weld up everything, than start fabricating the bottom half and top middle half. Once done with that, start making a strong Skeleton on the inside.
