Re: Surf Blue
Nothing real major to report. I finally got all the side windows,and vent windows installed. (took some pics) The seat brackets have been worked and painted ,and the red bench seat is in the truck temporarily. I had the money together to get the seat to the upholstery shop and to get some Line-x in the bed. Unfortunately though......putting the wife through nursing school has to come first so that money went to that instead. Here's some more pics.

Re: Surf Blue
Manshe looks good basking in the sun. I'm not a big blue fan, but this makes me like it a whole lot more.
Did you say the lights don't work that well? I have been considering them myself.

Re: Surf Blue
They're not real bright. I don't know why they're not, they're just not. It may be the blue bulbs I have in them. I'm planning on changing back to the white bulbs to see if that helps ,(someday). I'll keep you posted when I do.

Re: Surf Blue
Thanks. Yeah I imagine the blue bulbs don't help much.

Re: Surf Blue
Looks great...I actually really like our trucks with the vent windows...What brand headlights are those? Any fogging issues?

Re: Surf Blue
Clean ride. I've always loved these trucks and while casually visiting/lurking/reading through posts this past weekend, I came across this thread. Now I'm determined to find one of my own in '09. Keep up the good work. Your truck is a HUGE inspiration. There seems to be a good amount of TX folks on here too.

Re: Surf Blue
I should have the seat back from the upholstery shop in a few days. Like I said the material I am having it covered in is kind of different.

Re: Surf Blue
Did you have to do any additional wiring when installing the headlights? I have a set I'm planning on putting in. I haven't wired my truck yet.
Thanks. |
