Thanks!

Thinking of getting a N-Fab RSP Front Bumper.
Think it could look cool.

OK, so worst that could happend, just happend!
Or it had already happend when I left the truck at the workshop to replace the passenger manifold!
One of the pin bolts were already cracked, so they stopped all work and gave me a call.
Now I need to move the truck to another workshop cause the current one dont have the tools to remove the top and replace the bolts!

This was my nightmare and it looks like I have to leave it and save up money for a while now to get it back on the road.

Now that this has happend, should I replace both manifold with headers while I'm at it?

Got around to finish off the grille!
Came out nice, just need to get my car back from workshop so I can put on the badge!

Maybe not the nicest looking on the backside, but no one will se it anyway!


From the front everything looks good!
(There is a shadow that makes it looks like there are two different mesh on the lowst opening)

Since my truck is still in the workshop for the manifold swap I wanted to keep playing with my extra grille.
Found these nice LED position lights and decided get four of them to put in the grille.
First hole came out just a bit to wide (typical me) so that needed to be fixed.
Still waiting for the glue to dry, but I still need the truck to connect them all.

Oh, and yeah, the plastidip had to come off after I drilled it.
Not sure if I will re-spray it or keep it as is...

The mannifold change went ok, and new is in!
I mounted an open air intake today, went smooth and seem to have open up the engine a bit, but I don't think it gained any hp ha ha!

I'll have to wait to install the grille until next weekend due to a last minute work trip to Paris

interested to see the grill in. I think the installation and appearance is fantastic, but are the lights going to bright/large enough? Truck looks great!

Cheers tysmagic!
Since I got a spare grille I thought that I would play around with this, got a bit carried away
I think it will look ok, maybe a bit DIY up close, he he
