    Looking good Ray.

    Personally, I like contrast on the grill emblem. Painting it black makes it look like it fell off when you were hucking the truck off some sweet jumps.

    If you don't like the chrome, maybe paint it silver like the body?

    Yeah I didn't like the chrome. And I do have some color match in the garage that I can try with.

    Welcome Leo!!!!

    So I finally got around to removing my intake tube from the wheel well just like Jason suggested. At least for now until I get a snorkel. Not anytime soon.

    [​IMG]

    I did color match the front yoda emblem and it came out great. Also taped off driver side emblem and painted it black.....what a bitch. I still have the other side to do. I might just have to remove it.

    Since I'm waiting on tube to be bent for the bed cage. I decided to fix some details that was wrong with the vinyl I put on the bed sides. Thanks to Eric AKA Gramps, he gave me this idea to bed line the bad sections of the vinyl. Also big thanks to Eric AKA Michelin Man for driving out to my place to bring the air compressor so I can get this done today. I owe you Buddy! It did come out pretty good.

    I made new mounts for my tail lights. I ended up cutting up some small angle I had laying around. I tack welded the nuts on the back of the angle. It was a bitch to try and stick weld that small ass nut without burning threw or messing up the threads of the nut.

    Now it's on to motor mount gussets and transmission mounts gussets. Thanks to Blackdawg for the pointers on what needs to be done.
