Had a little break but back in action.

Last month I installed the Custom Autosound stereo.

Got some different rear fenders from a friend. Got them put on today.

Yesterday I spent on a bunch of little tasks. Painted the center trim clips for the windshield, prepped the area around the drivers side vent so I glue the weatherstrip on, ordered a Y pipe I think will work, wiped all the ATF off the pan so I can see if it still seeps, wired in the dome light, & wired in the electric choke. Hope to have it of the lift soon.
 
Finally have exhaust going out the back. What a messed up deal. I offset the engine to the right for ease of hooking up the steering. Had to rework the Y pipe so it would clear the frame. :mad: I knew I should have gone with an inline. :rolleyes: Bought a knock off magna-flow dual kit for the dakota chassis.

Hear it is (see what I did there?)

It's about ready to come off the lift. [cl
 
Off the lift! I'll drink to that.

The interior is looking very sanitary. I like them to look like trucks inside, like yours, not like a Lexus, all fancy and cushy.
 
Thanks, I didn't buy tabs last year and will have to wait til the end of May to get new ones. I'm not paying $50 for one month. That will give me time to figure out the tune, it's just a little off.
 
Awesome! Seeing yours out in the daylight might inspire me to get mine going (as opposed to pushing it into the burn pile!)[cl[cl
