Your lights look good! And thank you for the details.

**Dieselwrencher** · 03-28-2016, 02:43 PM

I think the head lights look great!

So when I woke up today at 2:30 pm. I called my insurance guy and said I would like insurance on my new truck. He laughed when I told him the year. So a few minor questions as of today I have insurance on my truck

I have had these licence plates for 9 years, just waiting for this moment. My friend Joe is writing my safety then off to the MTO (DMV)
So then I went out and mounted my licence plate and light. Also finally installed the compressor circuit beaker. Yes I know it is upside down but I needed the batt post on the top.

Headlights look awesome. ..love the plates. ..what is the insurance going to cost you

Donnie Lee · 03-29-2016, 09:48 AM

Headlights look great, would be interesting to see a night photo on the road with low & high beams.

I like your license plate also, here in N.C. we can't purchase a vehicle plate without showing proof of insurance.

Johnny_Lamebridge · 03-29-2016, 11:06 AM

That's great Bob! Looking forward to seeing it on the road.

**joedoh** · 03-29-2016, 11:31 PM

I dont like the headlights, but I didnt buy them!

I dont think they detract from the truck though, just not my taste, and the rest of the truck is staggeringly great!

CRGRS 66 · 03-30-2016, 12:31 PM

Love it!
You will have to come down to cambridge and do a show and tell with Johnny and I

Thanks i'll get one soon after it's on the road. Custom plates you own, don't even need a vehicle.

lower50's · 03-31-2016, 12:55 AM

So yesterday and today I got a lot done. Installed a regulator and valve for my air horn and hooked up the button, installed my limiting straps for my rear end, adjusted the rear brakes, got the wipers working with the sw, ordered some wiper arms, put the grill back on. Also adjusted my doors, now they close real nice with the new seals. So my list is getting shorter. I have about 2 weeks, the plan is to drive my truck around the block on April 16

(my bday)
Also Joe has my safety I'll get it tomorrow and MTO Friday.

Air horn vid, regulator is only at 60 psi

The air horn will get attention!

I've never seen limiting straps for a rear end before.

CRGRS 66 · 03-31-2016, 02:53 PM

Contact Zehr insurance, believe they are in new hamburg, they specialize in bikes and antique insurance. You will definitely need an appraisal, need it to be covered for what it is worth in case the worst should happen.

Valarius_Starchaser · 03-31-2016, 03:47 PM

Loving that visor makes it look like a chop top "Its a lot cheaper too

"

Glad at least someones list is getting shorter

I have a much louder one on my Jeep. I had to put the straps on. When we where painting the truck we lifted the rear with a forklift and stretched the air bags and they started leaking around the ends. I guess they don't like to hold up a 300lb axle. So new rear air bags and limiting straps.

My dad has a car insured with them. I will be driving the truck too much and to work I don't qualify due to that. I may switch at some point when I see how often I drive it.

lower50's · 03-31-2016, 11:44 PM

Well it was pissing rain all day today what a suiting time to install my new wiper arms. They work good and stop like this.
Also Great news I GOT MY SAFETY TODAY!!!! Hoping if all goes well to get licenced tomorrow.

Cool that you got the safety. ...surprise that they will not make you get the black plates for trucks ....or in Ontario when you do get personal plates only come in blue

lower50's · 04-01-2016, 02:26 AM

Custom plates only come in blue.

lower50's · 04-04-2016, 04:01 PM

My Truck is now legally licenced for the road!!

lower50's · 04-04-2016, 04:17 PM

Still some work to be done. But that's ok because by sunday night we had 8" of new snooooow

So less than 2 weeks till my first drive the motor should not be like this.
All is good tho, I pulled the injection pump and injectors to get them checked on Saturday morning at a local injection place and I can help him. Also I had a fairly bad oil leak on the crank case vent so I'll get it fixed too.
Went from this:

Congratz

Now you can legally tear the streets down

That is if the snow is gone and your engine is in one piece

**Advanced Design** · 04-04-2016, 09:57 PM

Congrat's on the safety and license! Too bad about the pump repair...always something.
