Made it to Walmart last night finally... I found two sets of lights that I think will work ok. The ovals I think are similar to Jeffm's in bumper lights. I liked how his looked so I copied him. I also copied Desert Crawler and am in the process of mounting the small rock lights in the bumper shining down... We will see?

I had better get this back up to speed here. I mounted the lights in the front and trimmed and capped the ends of the bumper.





and added the front attaching points

I pulled out the radiator and fixed the leak. I chased the pin hole around with solder for a while but finally got it. It holds pressure so all is well again. Just to make sure I gave it a JB Weld treatment over the solder. Love that stuff!  Its re installed and test drive went well! Now I guess I had better get it registered. LMAO

No, No, No,  I have a guy that comes here and does all the stuff. Its not worth it to fight the DMV... Sometimes I do it through the AAA. That has been painless so far. The guy comes here and takes care of all the paper work for about the same price as flowers. LMAO

Walked in and was out of AAA in 15 minutes with the new registration in my hand. It did set me back $82.00 though.

Working on some side marker rock lights today to fill in the holes left bu the original front marker lights. Im also cutting up the driver side front wheel well to make room for another Battery... Im going to need more juice to run all these lights. A few pics.

I had a little tire rub on the back quarters so I did a little trimming this morning. I got the passenger side roughed in good enough for today. I will finish it Up along with the driver side on Saturday... Stop by and say hi if your in the hood. Off to eat some turkey right now ThumbUp
