Default Mr7confused's progress, and contemplative mods

So since all the cool kids are doing it, I want to post a thread of a few things.
1) Progress thread. I know they're all over the place...oh well
2) Contemplative mods, Things im considering and how to get them done
3) Write ups of the more uncommon thing's I've done. Or if you see something i've done, ask me and I'll do a write up on it. most common one I get is reverse lights, with the on/off/auto switch.

Progress:
Thanks to Craigslist, I landed a 1992 with all the bells and whistles, 5.0 auto, for $2100. I was a little skeptical of the color, but it's definitely grown on me.
Day I brought her home. Came with the camper, short antenna, and plastic bedliner.


Took the shell off, yadda yadda and now the shell is covering my ride-on mower
I dont know why I didn't just lift it a little bit at that point, So I got my hands on some axle pivot drop brackets, and leveled it.
Because the front tires were smaller she didn't sit perfectly level just yet.
And somewhere in there I got a tractor supply cross bed toolbox. Definitely worth it.


New bumper and hitch off a Bronco, and new reverse lights-- One of my favorite modifications.

Tires totally change how big the truck looks. here I got some 31 BFG's, not bad tires, just look kind of skinny from the back.


Went to interior mods for a while, and underhood.



Probably the First thing I did was install a stereo, a Sony somethin. I sold that one to f150forlife, and got myself an Alpine with Bluetooth. No point in pictures there.
Built a CB bracket, mounted it to existing body screws under the dash. The antenna is mounted on the truck box




BAM, new sub: ongoing center console project





LED dome light:


Constant hot electric windows:

Under the hood recent picture:


HID's, Durlast Gold battery, 0 awg grounds, PA300 siren speaker for PA, Battery terminals, 3g Alternator, Painted upper intake, Painted valve covers, wireloom up the wahzoo, MSD 48kv coil, Saginaw PS pump, homebrew high volume hot air intake,
Tired of finding the pictures in order, but the most recent changes pretty much happened all at once:
Darkened tails, four driving lights, diamond plate bedrails, window tint... and everything else there that's new.










More pictures up the wahzoo on my supermotors.net: http://www.supermotors.net/registry/23382

Next is finishing the console, Finishing my 4" lift, and chasing a lot of misc maintenance.
Anyone have some radius arm drop brackets they want to sell me?

My windows roll up and down any time, even when the ignition is off. I do it to all my cars. I was standing at the back of it, where the metal curves so it wouldn't dent hahah thanks though
