Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Nice work on the brake! Where did you source the parts? I was planning on buying the estopp.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build

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.

When setting up your actuator just make sure the brake are engaged at the same time the actuator power automatically turns off so its not continually pulling. |

No I did not shorten the fleetside, its a shortbed fleetside. That is just primer because I filled the seams which exposed bare metal. Last edited by BAM55; 01-08-2019 at 04:44 PM. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Ok, that makes sence.
Are you also fill up the seam above the spear?

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
all seams that can be seen are filled. The seam above the spear can't really be seen its looks more like a indentation (at least on the aftermarket panels), primer and blocking will take care of that

Yeah its finally starting to look like something resembling a truck. Its time to finish blocking those doors and get them painted and installed. I've been procrastinating on blocking lately its such a dirty and undesirable chore, but its the most necessary for a decent paint job. |

Bam, I really like that Green you put on your Truck. I highly doubt that you will lose it in a Crowd! Keep up the good work
