NYCO's '06 Boosted Blue Betty

see you next week!

 

hell yea man! fuckin pumped!

still a lot to do this weekend though...

 

I just have to load everything in the truck and I'm ready to go.

my garage is now a staging area

 

must be nice haha

the new bin setup i have for camping gear makes packing a lot easier now, just need to throw them in the back of the truck and i'm good to go

few items to pick up from the store still but got most everything ready to go...just need to button up the truck's projects

 

I have one last project to do that I've been procrastinating for weeks now. Rocklights are sitting on my passenger seat just waiting to be installed.

 

what kind did you go with?

 

Amazon LED strips that you showed me I'm just being lazy

 

gotcha...yea those are nice...i have them on my rockers now....need to finish off my rear rock lights and improve the front ones as well...

supposed to be rainy as funk this weekend so hopefully it lets up enough so i can get work done! sucks not having a garage of my own...

 

I'm not sure how to mount them that's my problem. I think I'm going to get some clear aquarium tube and put the lights in there then zip tie them to the wheel wells and rear cross member

 

they seem to stick fine on painted surfaces, i heard from ruggedT that they don't like to stick on powder coated bumpers..CoTRDTaco ran them from back to front including inside the wheelwells so maybe check with him to see how the wheelwell area is doing and suggestions on those areas

 

I got the connectors as well so I'm going to cut them in to 3 foot strips and put some on the bottom of my rack as well.

 

You got a long list of things to do still. I will be in and out this weekend but if you need a garage to work in I can let you use ours.

They are still sticking well except on the corners where I bent them around. I put some RTV on the back and stuck them back down and let them dry. Seem to be holding just fine now. I have another roll for the rear of the truck now but I am waiting until the possible shackle flip to get installed first before I run them.

Got the reverse lights in and damn they are bright. I feel sorry for anyone standing behind my truck when I throw it in reverse.

 

Solid eye candy as always, bro

 

truck looking nice man

 

what leaf pack are you running I'm to last to dig though your 30 pages of build
