Was a pretty cold day so we rolled it out quick and snapped a few shots before we froze.

The headlights are propped up with magnets

Looking good, Gold! The proportions look great! Do you plan on lowering it any more, or is this the ride height you're planning on (just curious!) [dr

As for the cold, tell me about it, I did the Polar Plunge in Lake Summerside yesterday. It was nippy!

I can't wait till this white stuff is gone and I can burn rubber again![ddd

Thanks for all of the positive comments guys.

I am not lowering the truck further. This is the ride height. I plan on driving it and Edmonton has S$%T for streets! I tend to drive hard. Besides to lower any further I need to raise the drive train to get oil pan and transmission clearance. Just not into it.

And it was the first day of real winter. Not that I'm complaining but I haven't even had time to acclimatize this year.

Headlight mounts

Spent some time installing bracing from the firewall to the grill. Sorry forgot pics.

Also built a mount for one headlight. Now the trick is to make one more similar enough that noise notices a difference. Cut up an old handle bar off a Honda Bike, then did a reweld to look like this.
