    I'm not even sure I can lift mine either, I rarely use the hitch so I didn't even think about that. The bracket is just pinched inbetween the plate and the bracket so I could just pull it out if I needed

    @ChandlerDOOM Yeah, I don't used my hitch either. I drilled into the actual Flip Up bracket it works well. Have you mounted your Hi-Lift yet...?

    Finally got the truck from my fiancé for the weekend haha, her accord gets better gas mileage so I've been racking up the miles on that. But took the time to clean out the interior, grease the drive shaft and UCAs, adjusted the coilovers, cleaned up most of the underside, fixed my cv boot clamps, and put a coat of paint on the rusty sliders. Still need to do some more winterizing before winter catches up but atleast I'm making progress. But back to driving the accord tomorrow and off to the twin cities area

    Thanks, so I got catfished on the whole northwest ordeal. Turns out were going back and forth from chicago to the twin cities a couple of times, and after that were supposed to head to Dallas for a week and then Seattle for a week. Its all politics with where the project money is coming from and what work is actually ready. So honestly I don't know if we will actually make it out that way =[ so I'm pretty bummed on the whole ordeal.

    Great looking truck, man! Probably one of the best looking ones on here! What brand did you go with for your shell?

    Great looking truck man. I love it! Everything you've done has turned out great. The rear bumper really sets it off.

    Do you have any more photos of how you mounted your compressor under the hood? Thanks and keep up the good work.

    Thanks a lot man! Im glad people like what I have created. I bought the shell used and had it re painted, the brand is century, good quality and shares the same parts as leer. I still keep my eye out for a shell with windoors, especially looking over @geekhouse23 new shell.

    Thanks! Yeah I couldn't have achieved the look I wanted without @Pelfreybilt Let me take a look to see what I have, anything in particular that your wanting to see?

    I have mine in the same spot. I think it's a great spot. Do you have an air line plumbed to somewhere that is easily accessable or do you open up the hood anytime you need to use it?

    Also I have been gone for quite sometime on the forums, I started traveling for work again a couple months ago so the truck has been taken care of by my fiancé for the time being. Only up to this past weekend I went and drove it for a Chicago Toyota meet which was an awesome turn out with prizes from Chitown4x4.

    In the mean time I bought another car for work/fun, an Is300 dubbed the Badluck Sportcross. But after being in an accident with a raccoon, blowing out my sidewall, and blowing a head gasket due to shitty work from the bodyshop the insurance company decided to total the car out. Just over a month I've owned this thing and its already being totaled, I had plans of doing a V160/GTE swap but now since the car will receive a Salvage title its not worth it IMO.

    But on the flip side Ill have plenty of money for Mods once again

    Its one of the many things Ive been meaning to get around to, I planned on having it just like @MrGrimm right on the front bumper. I still want to get a tank for it so it may end up moving down the road to the bed

    Nice man! That's what I wanna do too!

    Are you on stock gears? If so, how do the 35's and stock gears feel?

    Feels fine, I don't have many big hills where I live so its not that big of a deal at the moment. I still have some more stuff I want before I re gear.
