    This is definitely one of those jobs where you don’t cheap out and buy Harbor Freight blades. The time and cursing saved by buying quality blades is so worth it.

    Picks up the two bottom fasteners for the radio (edit used longer bolts), heavy duty though probably would hold thirty pounds. Made it from scrap that I had in my garage so it was just time. few mistakes like the extra slotted hole

    First wash of the year! Was only a simple wash, need to clay bar as there are a ton of contaminates. Probably will deep detail in a few months and ceramic coat. Feels very weird having a clean truck.

    Also did some bumper adjustment as I'm not too happy about how it sits. I need to weld some additional supports and angle the mounting areas.

    Painted my emblem black and welded the hoop yesterday.

    Have some real fun parts coming in soon, as you may notice or cared enough to read this far, it is only 2wd. 4x4 swap in works and will be done very soon!

    Might have to try that out. I might as well just replace it. My other ones need to be replaced as does the carrier bearing. Going to shove a bolt in it for now. Its full of new grease so it should be good for awhile. I'm not going to use 4wd anytime soon either

    Anyone have a link for a center switch blank?

    OR

    A simple SPST POPO switch that will fit those holes?

    Relocated and rewired my CB antenna and put the softopper on the truck. Also took apart my hurst shifter because I didn't install it right the first time and it was puking gear oil out of top of the trans. A little toyota FIPG and it should be good to go now hopefully
