What did you do to your truck today?

NICE!!! I've been toying with the idea of doing an HID retrofit in my truck...

 

damn those look bright...nice

 

Derp, I gotta get HID's for my truck too la. :sly:

 

My Lovely Kei Did that.

 

Plastic screen to protect the radiator from stones and insects:frustration:

 

Finally got the seats in

Have been killing my back with the original seats
for months now





Finally got around to putting in the seats from the wrecker

90's toyota passeo


Lotsa modz to the seats to make them fit

stripped them completely down

Cut off the headrest to be able to mount below the bar that runs under the back window

Scrapped off most of the foam on the back part of the seat to give me as much room as possible

Was able to macguyver some pieces and make the backs of the seats fit into the original mounts ( some kind of spring clips )
It allows me to take them out pretty easy

Was even able to re do all the mounting hardware from the original passenger seat so that the new one still folds up and outa the was when needed

Lotsa plasma cutting
Lotsa welding

Lotsa fun

The center panel ( light colored part in the pic ) is even removable
So I took it out
Allowing for me to sit a little deeper in the seat

Replaced the panel with the gel seat cushion i had
So now it has the support, but its a little cushier

Nice to have some lateral support for a change

I even moved the original headrests - cause they were in a krappy position for my big fat head
stripped the hardware off them
2 way taped them to the window in a lower position - way better

 

I have a good ol Ukrainian butt

 

new tires

Got the new tires on the truck today ( 155/80/13 goodyear nordics) i will run these year round on the road bought trailer dust caps from TSC they fit the steel wheels ok but when i went to install wheels on truck they interfered and popped off... now i am wondering if i just want to paint the exposed surface to prevent rusting or try and locate dust caps that will work.. tried the original Subaru caps that came on my 12" wheels but they did not snap on ( maybe i need to heat up the caps to get them to fit? they were outside in the garage. Wheels are painted flat green to blend in with the camo that is yet to come

I installed new rims & tires with chains,fender flares to cover new tires. Went to the woods to bring out a few loads of firewood, new tires worked better than my 6-12 tractor tires. The flares are Pacer Performance Flexy Flares part # 52-170 - side mount 2 1/4 x 54" 2 piece kit was just enough to do all 4 wheels.

 

BMW/Honda transformation begins

I'm going to try to transform this Honda into a BMW. I removed all the Honda emblems. BMW rims and 215/50-R13 tires are on. It was a little to cold to add the front and rear logos and horn button. I'm looking forward to taking it to the local Farm & Fleet store. The local farmers should go nuts (hopefully)!

Under the seat ?

 

ac

Finally my old ac got installed today, its summer time here and the weather is getting hot.

 

I am trying to add ac to my ride...I need all the pictures you have to try and piece this together...thanks

 

my friend has the tools and i did it in one whole day. we used the old compressor,blower(fan), hoses, condenser, evaporator, aux fan, filter. new parts are pipe fittings, thermostat, relay. we trim the blower case to fit under the dash board, used washing machine drain hose for the distribution of air from blower to air ducks. drill a hole in floor under the dash for the tube line to condenser, evaporator and wire. only fan speed is working. thermostat control is set permanently. working properly, no more sweat and more driving comfort.

 

14" rims

I just tried 14" rims from a pre-73 ford mustang/ maveric........They fit beautifully! Even have the right back spacing to pull the tires out enough to put mud tires on.....I found some interco Bias TSLs ...hmmmm

 

- pulled out the mechanical fuel pump and installed a electric fuel pump
-and a set of 1300LM lights.

 

Drove to a local hardware store at 55 mph and purchased a step ladder. OH!!!! You asked what did you do "TO" not "WITH" my truck. In that case, I totally changed my front end alignment and eliminated the "death wobble" at 45 mph.

 

Plowed a **** load of snow today!!

 

Plowing's fun! op:

I made a battery box bracket over the weekend.

 

Nothing, absolutely nothing. DANG !
