Wow, thanks for the compliments guys!! I love it, glad to see you guys like it too. Cramerica, I actually think this is the second of it's kind as Coondog's truck was my inspiration for what I have done here. Thanks again guys.
Now for those pesky gaps, well I had a brainwave yesterday. I went by an industrial belt place that supplies belting for conveyers to Mills, Mines etc. and came away with this.

It's industrial strength material, so it shouldn't tear or fall apart. They didn't want anything for it, but I gave them $10.00 as there is quite a bit there. My tiles on my floor are 12", so that gives you an idea. It's about 17" wide at it's widest part, so lots to work with.

Yeah, the coneheads that installed the canopy(cap) ran the power wire to the auxillary light inside the back that way. I am going to reroute it when I do a little trailer wiring. Sometimes you have to wonder.

Altair, I actually have a 3" single back from the y-pipe right now with a magnaflow muffler. I also have the K&N CAI. But I would like to open up the y-pipe next. What have the guys done to open up the Y, is there any specific size that works better? Thanks.

Kids leaving their toys around again, eh? The body lift is not that difficult. I would definately leave a whole day set aside to do it, though. There are a few steps in the instructions that I wouldn't worry about doing again. The main things that you need on the job are an angle grinder with a cutting and grinding disk, a decent torque wrench, a strong socket set with metric sockets and wrenches if you have them, drill and drill bits and a floor jack. The other good thing to have is an extra set of hands around when you need them, like removing and installing bumpers. Not a hard job per say, just time consuming. The biggest thing is seized bolts, thats when the grinder comes in handy. The only thing my kit was missing (didn't include on the parts sheet) was some 1/4" nylock nuts for the front rad support extentions.
