whats that truck in the background? Looks like a mini sleeper

I spotted that too... Is that a "Custom King Cab" Yota? We have a Nissan with the same thing sitting in the driveway.

So I've been slowly buying and building parts. So first I got my grille finished.

Sorry for the crappy cell pics...

 

[42s on u]

I got off my ass and painted my roll bar and the tool box.

I got my roof rack from Whitson, custom made for my light bar. I got it back from powder coat.

 

[42s on u]

So now working on the lighting for the rack.

Found the spot I want to put my switches, so I got another bezel and got to work.

 

[42s on u]

Got the ruff part glassed, now I need to do the finish work. On the bottom portion is where the power outlets are going to be. I got 2 with the bezel and there's 2 in the runner so I'm thinking about having all 4 down there.

Got all the parts to do the hub conv.

AllPro CV boots

Clear corners came in.

I got all the parts from the retrofit source, plus a new set of TYC headlights. So I've got a plan...I have a set of headlights out of my old 97, and the 97 have a smooth reflector and a light scattering lens, while the 2000 has a light scattering reflector and clear lens. My thought is take the smooth reflector and put it in the 2000 housing with the clear lens.

Thoughts?

Any input would be appreciated.

Hopefully Rickashay will be doing the retrofit.

Here's what I ordered

Bi-xenon FX-R Stage III Kit (FXR-III)
Ballasts Morimoto 3Five (35w)
Bulbs Morimoto 3Five 4300K D2S
Halos Yes, Morimoto XB LED (White)
Projectors LHD (2.5" lens)
Re-sealing Glue Yes please
Shrouds Gatling Gun
Wire Harness Relay: H4/9003
Low Beam: 9006/HB4 (9006)

Picked up a Outdoor logic front bumper from a TR4 member.

Unfortunately it's not made for the sport or limited fender flares. So I'm going to have to do a bunch of modifying to make it look good. Unless I find someone who wants to trade or make me an offer I can't refuse or ????

Still unsure what rubber to wrap these up in...Really thinking about 35's

Holy updates batman! That's a cool spot for the switches though, I don't think I've seen them there before. And you did a way better job of cutting up that bezel than I did haha.

What are you doing for rock lights?

Oh, and I vote yes on 35s!

Not sure yet. still looking for the right lights.

I'm really going to try to run 35's.

Same here. I already have two of these LED light strips that I'm going to run down the sides and experiment with, and I'm thinking about going with some of these for other strategic locations that the LED light strips won't cover. I'll be interested to see what you come up with though.

 

[DeadMoney44]

Impressive so far. I'll be watching.

LOVE the old Chevy. A '74 K20?
