sweet job, as with everything on your rig. Do you have a designated camera man with you when you do work on your rig?? I always forget to take pics when i do things. I think we need you to do another big project to your rig so we can drool some more. Maybe an engine swap??

Nah, but I do take pix of everything I do with this rig
In fact, I have a photo file dedicated to this Cruiser and it's over 16GB's in size
16g of photos, that's a small iPhone. Lol
98 SNAKE EATER said:It can easily be done at home as long as you have a proper air supply
If you don't, I think Al's can also be rolled on
Basic automotive door edge trim
An $8 buck roll will do all the flares and have about 5 feet leftover
Any links to your source?

OK, a little update on the roof rack....
The front light bar has been rusting away nicely because I used cheap square tubing from Ace hardware and didn't bother to seal it after drilling holes for wiring and gutter mounts
So I hacked it off
I don't want anymore rusting problems, so I welded up a new bar using aluminum tubing
Rather than drilling through the tubing again for the gutter mounts, I had a few flat mounts laser cut out of mild 14Gauge steel and welded it to the EMT frame, then bolted down the new bar to tie things together
And here's a quick mock up before rewiring and bedliner (more light, just what I need lol)
I actually have a new rack design I've been pondering, but will probably use this one for another year or so
BTW, she just turned 280,000 miles today
