I had to bend the top of the plate a bit so it wouldnt hit on the tailgate when you open it.....still need to get some mudflaps though, so I dont get harassed by the cops

think I found some mudflaps at NAPA for $10 each...... they are 1/4" thick and 24" long... forgot to ask how wide they were....I will just cut them down to what I need...... saw some that were 12" wide by 18" long at another parts store but they were like $30 for the pair....hope to pick them up when I get my tax returns

for a long time I have been using this CB in my blazer..... wanted a regular CB, the only thing good about the one I had was it was easy to hide in the glovebox.....a friend of mine gave me 3 CBs..... one didnt work, so I tossed it ........here is the other 2 I got from him the one on the left is a cobra 25 LTD classic and the other one is a uniden trucker ptc104...... after some testing I found the cobra to be the better of the 2..... the uniden had some burned out LEDs in the channel display, the cobra had exposed wires on the mike , so I put the mike from the uniden on the cobra and ended up using that one.... didnt get a mounting bracket with any of the cb's either so I had to fab one myself I decided the roof was the best place where it would not be in the way of shifters, legs, gauges etc etc...... this is what I did with the wires

up to this point I only had 2 bolts per side holding my front bumper on, today I marked the bumper to drill 2 holes to match up with the factory holes in the top of the frame,took the bumper off and drilled the holes..... then I remounted it with 3 bolts per side......... I also mounted and painted the mudflap mounts I got from jonny tsunami... here is how they will look mounted after I get some bolts and drill some more holes to mount them

took the dash apart again today to clean up wiring....... I took out the factory speaker wires and the antenna cable, plus I shortened some wires and routed some wires better and made it all look better.... here is the pile I ended up with

the hood and cowl had a bunch of little rust spots all over...... so I pulled the cowl apart to see what was in there.... I vacuumed it out real good and put the screen back on.... next was sanding down the hood and cowl....took it to pretty much bare metal..... then I primed both, painted the cowl flat black and reinstalled after the paint was dry......then I started painting the hood but ran out of paint........ will pick some more up tomorrow and get it finished more to come....
