    Going to work on the compressor tomorrow. I want to look again and see if I can cram it under the rear seats, would like to have it there so it doesn't take up space in the tool box then the tank can go under the truck. Might tackle the uniballs tomorrow as well. Need to get the exhaust done so I can get the t case skids done. Then on to the bumper. Also got a tent from REI so I might go down to URE in a couple weeks.

    Compressor is basically done, need a couple more permanent connections, secure it, and a few air fittings that I ordered today. Tested it to make sure no electrical gremlins and it worked fine. On to the next project! Will post pics and a video this weekend once its 100% complete.

    I'm hoping to get the bumper center section done and mounted tomorrow and then cut the bedsides and do the side wings on Monday. Two pieces for compressor will be here tomorrow so that will be all done. Tested these led strips for the rock lights and they are stupid bright!

    Not gonna make it to URE, still need exhaust done and t case skid then I'll start beating on it :D Besides its the last weekend of turkey season and I have yet to go, I WILL NOT MISS TURKEY SEASON.

    I know mang. Been getting the high performance dewalt discs and they have been holding up well but it still sucks cutting this stuff with a grinder.

    Almost done cutting now though. Got the corner pieces for under the taillights, make some side support pieces, cut for the hitch, and weld on the shackle mounts that'll be here tomorrow. Then it just needs to be fully welded and grinded. I'll cut for the reverse lights later on when I get them.
