Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Well here it is.....I set the brushed aluminum in lastnight and didnt really like how it looked. So after several hours of rewiring the switches and air lines (making them longer) got it painted and mounted.....Now I like it a lot better

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I cut my turn downs off , tired of the dust , could decide how to run the exhaust so no pipes past the mufflers for now . Dropped truck off at detail shop , stop at parts store to get air fresher and temp gauge pegs out and steam is coming from under hood . Somehow fan for electric fans got turned off while truck was getting detailed . Pop hood and no alternator belt. So I had to buy belt antifreeze etc . I shouldve left truck in garage !!!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Bought and installed a new battery from Manny, Moe and Jack. 650CCA.
Expensive, though. Forget the name of it. The Optima was $204. I think the new one was $92... I kept the old one that's in the pic for a bench-tester. But, both the new one and the old one had so much stuff written on them, I decided to do something pretty silly under the hood instead of doing yard-work. I covered the top with some stuff I used on an amp face, and cut the places out for the terminals and for the battery "juice" check. Guess I had nothing else "better" to do today.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I day dreamed about it being done and rollin through Waikiki... Japanese tourists drooling over its raunchy looks and sound... rumbling through the buildings past the police station... maybe let some air out and set her down for a landing.. then a FAT burnout... Hawaii 5-0 comes out, gives me a thumbs up and .... I take off! Fasten your seat belts... put your tray tables in the upright position... and hold the F*&& ON!
Oh... time to wake up... its still in the garage all apart!
