Gave my truck its first oil and filter change today and replaced the oil pressure gauge and sending unit with a Bosch mechanical gauge. Now I get to figure out why my pressure is so high.

Put a couple cup holders in, steering wheel back in and some mud flaps installed.
I have the same cup holders. Love them! Did you bolt yours down? With the plywood insulation they sit in the middle pretty good and don't move around.

Ran a bolt thru the base and they hold great... A 1 liter of Mountain Dew at 55mph is well within the capabilities of these babies![thumbzup]

Looks nice. Rattle can or spray gun?

I used the wagoner hvlp gun. I will never use a compressor and sprayer again. I went through 1.5 gallons with no thinning and easy setup and cleaning.

I had a mishap backing out of a narrow trail and bent the apparently very weak brush guard on a 2 inch diameter tree. I straightened it back out but the paint cracked off so I finally got around to painting the brush guard. I wire wheeled off all the loose paint and rust and painted it with Rust Oleum rusty metal primer. Then 24 hrs later with some 383 green Behr paint. The primer made it turn out much better than the last truck I did without it.

I have also started adding a half quart of the cheap Walmart 2 stroke oil per tank. It could be a placebo but I swear the truck seems to idle smoother and it quieted the rattle at idle. If anything it should help prolong the injection pumps life while running this low sulfur BS fuel. It's also cheaper than any additive I've seen at less than $2 a tank. And the bottle fits nicely behind the back seat.

I added my prototype .50 caliber to the roof.
Changed oil and started working on my own doors.

That is the prototype, I have two more with improvements.
The prop M2 adds a lot of wow factor to my truck.
