Easter Weekend Updates!



Well first off.. just to get it off of my chest... HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!! Ok, now that I have that out of the way.. Check out what the Easter Bunny brought us this year!!

Fenders permanently installed, power antenna installed, brake lights installed (with power) and chrome bumper and hood ornament installed and polished! And thats just the beginning! There are a whole bunch of other goodies in the basket not even mentioned.

The truck is now sporting a finished set of fenders! They are now permanently installed on the bed. You can just barely see the black fender welt bead along the edge of the fender where it attaches to the bedsides. And on the inside of the bed you can see the stainless bolts connecting the drivers side fender to the bed.

Ooooh! Look at those snazzy exhaust tips that are now attached as well! All we need to do to finish the exhaust system is to connect the exhaust pipes to the exhaust tips.

Check out the LED tail lights! They're now installed and look great!

Zach had fun watching them blink.. and blink.. and blink..

Joe has been working on the stainless steel angle strips that will attach to the outside bed walls and around the inner wheel wells. This is no easy job working with stainless steel, but Joe is a great welder and has made great progress.. He almost has the drivers side completely finished.. Then he'll start on the passenger side.

Here I am with Zach and Logan.. The new chrome bumper and grill look awesome..

The hood emblem is original, but has been re-chromed.. Later we'll paint the bow tie to match the color of the truck.. It's gonna look awesome.

The power antenna is now installed in its new home (behind the passenger door of the cab).. Originally it was on the passenger side front fender and was not powered.

This is the power antenna from our 4-runner.. I was in an accident earlier this year and the insurance company replaced it.. Turns out, the only thing we needed to do was buy a new mast for it.. The motor unit was still good and works out great for Thunderpig!
