SilverGhost Rises

Yeah, yesterday when I was cleaning up my stuff from Corey's shop I came across that foam board and all the notes on it. All the trial and error. The adjustments I had to make. The times I woke up hrs before work to design and draw up the ideas I had. A lot went into it. I was holding it in my hand thinking do I throw this away or keep it..... I thought it's a new chapter, so I cumbled it up and threw it away also remember that Jason has it on file so I really didn't need it . It felt good driving it down the road. It will feel that much better once I'm done. I'm taking today off to rest after pushing for months. But I'm very motivated to finish this project once and for all. I will hit the ground running tomorrow. More cage work, limit straps, Fiber glass, one piece hood that lifts forward, retro fit headlight, new interior flooring, CVT tent mount, roof rack, baja lights installed.... man I can keep going with all the stuff to come. I will try and get done for RT. We will see. I did request time off. Race to the finish now.

 

Can’t wait to see all that once it’s done!

REALLY can’t wait to ride shotgun when it’s all dialed in

 

Eventually when it comes time check out TT motorsport’s build video on YouTube for some idea of removable accessory mounts for tents etc. I’ve used these on a spare tire mount and they work pretty well.

This may be the motivation I need to make RT this year. Would like to thank you in person for your generosity.

 

Thanks for this. I follow them on IG but haven't had time to look at much. I'll keep these in mind moving forward becauce I'll want to be able to remove sections of the engine cage and the RT mount is defiantly a removal mount.

No sweat man. I always try paying it forward where I can.

 

Roadrunner killed it. Looking forward to getting it. It’s going to be interesting how I’m going to mount it. I really don’t want to drill through it but I’ll need to figure something out. I was planning on mounting it flipping forward so we’ll see.

 

dude........ wtf?!?!!? how?!

 

Heck yes!

 

Is that a 1st gen clip? Rad!

 

yes. We’ll see how it fits once it gets here.

 

Yeah those bottom ones work better for removable components so that you won’t have random connectors sticking off your cage when not in use. They sold individually or in pairs?

 

Nice work Ray, Glad someone is doing good things this shitty year!

 

Need an update! Need BBR to soar through the air to bring us all joy.

 

Wish I could get it done this year but it’s not looking like I will. Very busy with work. We are relocating. So we’ll be moving the whole plant to a new location.

 

That sounds fun lol. Busy is a good problem to have man!!!

 

For sure bud! How are you doing bud? You fully recovered? You going to get back out on the board again?

 

nah far from being able to get back out. Ortho told me last week about 4-5 months till I can put lateral stress on knee. One day! Company closed on me and last day was Friday but landed a public works inspection gig and started Monday, more responsibility but more money! Next step is that damn prerunner toy!!!

 

That's to bad on the old job but glad you picked up a new one. Best wishes and I hope it works out for ya. Before you know it your knee will be as good as new and back out again. Looking forward to some more surfing pics in IG.

 

I ended up tubing the front for 35’s. I’m also starting the engine cage too. My new front clip will be shipping soon so I’m going to build all new mounts for it and and possibly have the hood tilt forward. I got a new hood. So much better then my old one. I can actually see now.

 

That tub job looks great Ray. Can't wait till you finish the truck.
