If he does and I BL mine your gonna have to make another set lol or maybe ill buy an RCD off craigslist

 

Dude, Eric please buy it!

 

I am soooo tempted. I need to get back to work first. Then we can talk haha Living in Hawaii kinda drained my savings lol

 

Yeah, i spent 9 days there and spent all mine I had saved up until that point haha..

Get on it, I want it gone!

 

Dude, you still havnt sold that thing yet?

Ill make payments.

 

Thermostat was stuck, so i got a new one, pulled everything apart only to find ford gave me the wrong one, but finally got it and all back together. Cleaned the intake manifold and throttle body. Cleaned the k and n and then in for an emissions test, passed with flying colours. Good for 2 years no comes the modding lol

 

replaced some of the egr crap, fixed an o2 sensor a few days ago.

ordered the ultragauge and some cb stuff. so i should be set on some electronic stuff now haha.

 

made the truck clean-er then it has been and installed my UG.

 

fuel pump took 11hrs and i did it on the ground next time im pullin the bed

 

by all means pull the bed, easy to do and so worth it. my truck got a bath today and i removed the mudflap brakets from the rear. the left side had broke on the outer side and before it compltly broke off i just took both sides off. front 'flaps do more anyways for vehicle protection. now in the slush i can cover the headlights of the car behind me with a punch of the throttle.

 

Nice!!!!!!

 

bolted on 2, 7 inch night vision spot lights to the front bumper. custom made brackets.

 

06 tails.

Before


After. Dark? Yup.


I thought they were kinda dark. But, I was driving to church tonight, and a cop pulled behind me. I had to brake, and use turn signals blah blah. (I even have my license plate taped onto my rear window lol) and nothing.

 

Dude, those are dark lol. I need me some 06+ tails. Or at least nightshade mine. Post some install pics when ya can!

 

HAha. I actually put another coat of nightshade on after that. I thought about getting some 04 tails again to practice on and to try out different looks.

I wanted to install these and get some pictures, but I installed these in the dark and had to leave quickly.

Ill get some pics tomorrow hopefully.

 

Ha another coat? Sweet! I think a little nightshade on the tails on my white truck would look pretty sharp. What stuff did ya use to paint with?

Alright man. Sounds good.

 

Removed the damaged radiator support on the 96 I picked up for my Wife last fall. Next will be to put the used radiator I picked up in it & be sure everythins in workin order before spendin the money on the frame shop visit to true things up with the new radiator support.

It took a shot in the RF that killed the radiator, set off the airbag, tripped the inertia switch. I reset the inertia switch & it fired right off, but didn't run it long do to radiator be junk. I'll get the radiator in it, then fire it up & make sure the trans & all is good, then she's off to the frame shop.

When I brought it home:


After removin damaged plastic:


Pulled damaged radiator support as best I could with come-along.....closeup of damaged radiator support, as ya can see, it's JUNK:


Removed junk radiator support:

 

I used some prep-all stuff I picked up from advanced auto, then VHT Nightshade, and Krylon fusion clear coat.

Wetsanded the tails before the first coat and wet-sanded after each coat. Came out looking SMOOTH.

 

finally finished putting my center console on my interior conversion. doing new rims tomorrow.

 

It does look really nice on a white truck... but it's also a lot more noticeable so be cafreful how dark you go.

This was too dark... 162 dollar ticket later and my tails are red again. Lesson learned. There is a reason they werent tinted from the factory.

 

New ties came in the mail today

 

Dang that is not cool lol. I will keep that in mind when I get to doing mine.

 

Ill be honest, im kinda worried about getting pulled. I might look into led lights or something super bright for tail lights.

 

Alon maglite mount ftw!

 

took my 400# of winter weight out, feels like ive gaind 50 hp.
