in no specific order















heading out to the garage to take some more pics of the jack and mount

 

Looks Good Jake. Got any scraps from the grilles? I haven't started mine yet because i still havent found a grille.

 

thanks. i have another grille that i took pieces out. what happened to those other ones?

moar pics





and im thinking of molding the backup cam pod into the top of the dash over the stereo pictured below



im waiting to make a decision till i see bout the navi console but i think itll look good there

 

Other ones fell through... How much do you want for your scraps and such???

 

looks like someone needs a new windshield!

 

ill have to see what shipping would be and i can let you know once its done

looks like someone missed out,

new windshield is in and tinted this is from the day it went in

 

ok. Get back to me on that. Is your entire windshield tinted? Or Just the brow?

 

^^ whole thing

 

What percentage? Is it tinted afterwards or pretinted? I suppose that is extremely illegal considering my 5% brow down a bit past the mirror is already very illegal...

 

35%, it is illegal, and it was done before it went in but could be done after also

 

cool. I wonder if i could get away with something like that....

 

nice job with the hi lift mount.

 

cool, next time i'll remember to set an alarm for every time you make a thread about the latest thing you've done to your truck, that way i will never miss out on anything!

how do you find the tint on the windshield? do you ever find it too dark?

also i'm planning on re-finishing the mounting brackets for my step-bars with bedliner, like the stuff you did your rockers and bumpers with. any prep tips?

 

Why not

Thanks Ethan. Still have to make some pieces to clamp against the Jack and the wing nuts and install the cool lock I bought

ha sounds like a plan

I had to call around alot to find someone that would do it and it took some convinceing. The windshield is just fine it's sometimes dark out the front side windows since they're at like 9%.

My rockers were done by a local shop with the high pressure spray on. Now you might try the rustoleum bed liner that comes in a spray can. I've used it on some overload springs and they've been sitting in my bed since may and through all the rain and such and have weathered just fine. It's like 8 bucks a can at autozone unless you want to have them done at a shop

 

i took 2 big washers and cut the edge off both of them so that had a flat spot. they fit perfectly inside the edges of the jack, and the wingnut goes down right over it.
