I should have picked up some 17" wheels and 37s, but the **** government is working out new lift laws, and the info I have is basically 35s and 3" of lift is gonna be about all that's allowed. Soon might be time to move, or revolt, before they put up a Berlin wall at the NB border.

Here in BC it's 12" and under and the tire size can be as big as you can fit. But I don't plan on lifting my current truck, but I'm looking for a 4x4 that I can jack up and have some fun with

Swapped out the Cap, Rotor point, Coil and wires for all new MSD stuff. She's running quite a bit smoother now but haven't noticed any other gains of any sort. May need to bump the timing to go along with all this. Also, found out I may be getting my hands on a TBI Edelbrock Performer intake, 56mm BBK throttle body and some shorty headers.

If I remove the rust, all I have left is blue paint and bonds.

Did quite a few things yesterday, started off by doing some routine maintenance with oil change and greasing the front end. Also found a tiny pin hole leak in my oil pan that I knew was there, just waited till my oil change to fix it, some JB weld took care of that.




I also made some new ribs for my tonneau cover. Bent them to shape and tapped some holes on each side to put in some bolts that keep the ribs in place on the rail of the cover.



Not quite perfect, but when I get some new clips for the cover it will take out the rest of the slack making a tight fit and no more stretching






I also found a par of Air Horns for 15$. So decided why not? Be fun to scare the people driving like idiots. I took off the front grill and mounted them in the little corner of the rad support and mounted the compressor in behind that. Not fully wired up yet, but its LOUD
