so the bronco is actually gone?

I can't wait to see how that thing works in your truck. Oh - and tell your dad thanks again for the wheels/tires. The tires are actually 32's - not 31's - so even better!

yes it is gone...no prob on the wheels and tires, when i said 31 i was going off memory so 32s will fill your wheel wells better on the extra cab....yeah it fit ok, i droped it in before i started painting. really the big factor for this thing is the cup holders, i dont need a ton of them but not having any is getting old.

Yeah - no cupholders gets LAME very quickly.

Plus the little storage compartment in those center console things is cool too. It should work out well for you.

You DID use Krylon Fusion plastic spray, didn't you?

It's the best stuff I've ever found for plastics.

so i put it back together and this is what turned out:



and in the truck:





but it needs to come back out for a second coat of paint.

also what do you all think i should put in it? power inverter, DVD player, 12V power plug...

the PS2 needs to come out anyways it wont play most DVDs so i also need something to go where it is too...

with the PS2 i really messed up i mounted it in a way that it wont play anything, but even when it is on a table it still wont play DVDs...so i am thinging of putting a dvd player in there maybe sticking out the back?

and i am working on getting on board air, i have the tank and air switch and gauges all hooked up and the air line run the the motor, i am using an York AC pump for the compressor...but the one i have doesnt line up to the crank or water pump so i am going to try one other compressor, and if that doesnt work i might try a different mount. my truck came with AC and this is the same mount so i am not sure what to do, but i will get it to work...
