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.

Parts are Lokar ebrake cables, 2" stroke 225 pounds of force actuator, and a parking brake switch and light I found on ebay.

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.

Thanks man,

No I did not shorten the fleetside, its a shortbed fleetside. That is just primer because I filled the seams which exposed bare metal.

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

Thanks guys,

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.
