Re: Nik's 62 build
During September I didn't get much work done on it, but I drove it to school everyday. About half way through the month I went on a backpacking trip with most of my grad class to yoho and Banff national parks as a grad trip. Here are some pictures. This pic is from lake o'hara.

Re: Nik's 62 build
This is a transmission crossmember I built to support the t5, I know that many people just hang t5's without one and I have been doing so for the past few months, but this was just to be safe. It's made from 1.5" square tubing 1/8" wall. It's upside down in the pic.

Re: Nik's 62 build
Hi Nik. Great pics. Was wondering what the back up lights are from? How did you mount them on the fenders, did you use a wedge underneath?

Re: Nik's 62 build
Also, is that a front bumper used on the rear? I like it.

Re: Nik's 62 build
Awesome to see it moving. It has to be a good feeling after all of the work that you put into it. Will it be a daily driver?

Re: Nik's 62 build
You might need to put a few hundred pounds in the back.
