Getting Stuck on a trail in Vermont

Came out to the truck looking like this many days during the winter. '

Thanks for viewing comment with suggestions or tips!

 

Attempted to flush mount my CB into the extra space from my radio bezel.

 

Looking good man! Getting her nice and dirty

 

Got my Cb wired and installed with a firestik mount and an add a circuit to the gauge cluster to wire it in.

As I was working my neighbors boyfriend came over and asked me if I wanted his double cab bins because they didint work in his AC. I had to remove the middle seat belt (buckets going in soon so it was gonna happen anyways) and then remove the spot weld for the jack holder against the back wall then they dropped in and I secured them with some screws that lined up. All in all about a 30 minute process.

 

SOSConcepts rear plate bumper installed today very happy with it.

If anyone's looking for a stock black bumper let me know.

 

Got a little bored today after class, still just admiring the bumper. Speaking of bumpers, the front one is not long for this truck either so stay tuned for this weekend.

If anyone wants a base stock front or rear bumper please let me know!





As always, any comments/concerns and general BS is more then welcome!

looking good! what is this film you are talking about? did you ever finish it?

 

Thank you! And not yet still in the developmental phases. The goal is to film a video almost roadkill style of doing the Trans America Trail with the truck.

 

Got bored so I derped the badge gunmetal to match the rims.

 

was up this past weekend and saw the front. where did you get it from?

 

I feel like i haven't seen KC Lamps in ages!

 

There was a guy in the Queen City off-road page that had it.

 

Are you an alumni of NU?

 

Kearsage is a nice hike! Pretty easy with a great view

 

Current student! Class of 19' are you?

 

It really is, I lost my keys up there so I had to do it twice that winter.

 

Sorry to hear son. I haven't been on the UP since 07'.
