Junk pile just keeps growing



Free flow intake done, just need some baffles to make it a colder air intake.

Removed bumper to do body bushings, that was lots of fun. While the bumper was off, I cut it and installed the 92-97 bumper pad, I figured I could get more air to the radiator and get my LED's installed at the same time.

It fits great and I really like the looks, $20 for plastic and about $50 for LEDs lights(2 floods and 2 spot lights). I also like the fact of only 18 watts per light. I'm trying to not add too much weight to the truck. I still have to wire the lights in, but the hard part is done.

I'm also working on the interior now, The cab is gutted out except for the dash. Soon the porno red will be all gone.

If you don't mind me asking where did you source the plastic and lights from? I am going to have to swagger jack you and do the same as that is a clean look!

Loving your build so far. Have this bookmarked.

I love the way that looks. You bumper is solid across the front before the install, did you have some kind of template to cut the bumper or did you swap it out?
