If you like the combination now it should look much better after I finish color sanding that is with 1000 grit taking away the shine. Last edited by BAM55; 12-10-2018 at 04:02 PM. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Bam, the engine compartment is nice and clean, looks super, even with the stock cover. New mufflers sound good...Jim

They also have another one at Lowes in Hawthrone every other Sunday at 1 pm. Just some place to go once you get the truck running or even if you don't have it running you can go look at some rides. Thanks Kim Last edited by BAM55; 12-11-2018 at 04:30 PM. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
I believe in having working parking brakes but I wanted a electric parking brake, but I was not willing to pay 400 bucks for one so I fabricated my own.
I have this wired when the parking brake is on the little (P) stays lit. ![]() ![]() ![]() It works pretty good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8helOr-WoE Last edited by BAM55; 12-24-2018 at 02:03 AM. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Haven’t seen it here in the Netherlands.
I’ve been thinking about a parkingbrake for my Jag setup, maybe this is something to look into....

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
I was able to put some work in on the truck over the Holidays. I fabricated these bumper brackets, shaved mounting holes, to have a smoother looking bumper. Now I have to find a good chrome shop.
