    Yeah I love the v-bands. I welded them and could have just welded the muffler but I get bored with setups a lot so I made it to where I can swap mufflers easily.

    I love v-bands for boost conditions, they don't blow off like the worm gear clamps. More pricier but worth the investment :thumbsup:

    It should be pretty good. We had a good storm last week and got a foot of snow in town and I believe they said about 2 feet on the mountain. We should be getting another storm moving in Thursday night through Saturday so it might be really good timing to go skiing.

    Maglite bracket in the bed. Also, I put a magnet under the bottle opener I had that catches caps. Works great and I sprayed them all with bed liner to match. Next up is a Hi Lift Jack mount and an extinguisher.

    You're not worried about somebody reaching into the bed and snagging your Maglite?

    Drained my catch can and replaced the inline filters on it. I need to start checking this thing more often in the winter... I last drained it in the Fall.

    Video doesn't want to play on here. Click this link to go to photobucket to watch it...

    The scary thing was when I first opened the drain all the water poured out and there was quite a bit more water in there than there was oil... I had to blow into the inlet hose on the catch can to get the oil to come out...

    Looks good! Do you have any other pics. Always wanted to see what black A pillars would look like. I've seen people wrap them in fabric and I was thinking of doing it or painting them.

    tanks! there is a pic of the drivers side in my build thread. I like it a lot better black. id go with paint, fabric will prolly fade over time cause this area gets so much direct sunlight.
