New parts!! It's like Christmas!

I just installed my 3 inch suspension lift from rough country and love it, also some MSD street fire plug wires and NGK plugs, MSD coil and MSD box. Right now I'm running 10 inch wide American Racing wheels with bfg t/a KO 32 11.50 15's but that's only until my 33 12.50 15 Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ's come in the mail. Just that small amount of ignition mods increased the power SOOO much. Before I could chirp the 32's if I dumped the clutch now I can burn them and get a 2nd gear scratch to be proud of. That's gonna help out a lot with the 33's going on it. also I was missing a drivers door panel so I made one and wrapped my dash and door panels with ACU fabric. It's pretty durable and easy to clean. I had some uniforms that I never wear left over from Iraq so I put them to good use it gets a lot of attention. next I'm going to paint the headliner black to match the rest of the interior pieces I modified. well just wanted to brag to somebody about my last two weekends and the stuff I got done. hope you guy's projects are going smooth!!

I like the idea of camo cloth to cover up those 30 year dash/panels. The panels look really loose did you use any contact cement or headliner adhesive? It would look alot cleaner without the wrinkles.

on the door panels i used some really thin 3m tape. and on the dash i just wrapped it i didnt use any adhesive or anything, now i wish i did but it was just a quick fix. fits just a toy for me and im not real worried about the way it looks or anything so i just threw it together.

looking pretty good.
looking at it gave me the idea to try to find some fabric with MOLLE on it and do the same thing, could be awesome.


Also, is that a crack on your windsheild with glue in it?

Ya it's a long bed I didn't even know they made them until I got this truck. It is a cracked windshield but there's no glue on it, the crack is so old the glass has started to separate from the plastic where its cracked at so its bubbles in the glass on the edges of the crack. Also i just got an update, my tires will be here in about 3 to 5 days. i cant wait for them to get here the bfg's that are on it are near bald lol. Now i'm looking for a cheap set of roll bars and a brush guard. Hard to find in this area. Also just found out I'm getting stationed in Germany so my poor truck will be sitting for about 3 years while I'm there. Not very happy about that but it needs WAY to much stuff done to it for it to be considered legal in Germany. (frame rot, exhaust, tires are too wide apparently they cant stick out past the body there, modified suspension, windshield, inner wheel seal leaks) but that's fine, I'll just fix the things I cant fix now when I get back. Its too hard to find these trucks for me to get rid of it. BTW my truck is supposed to be ugly my name means POST APOCALYPTIC WAR VEHICLE. Some guys I work with bet me that I wouldn't turn it into a "zombie truck" so that's my theme for the truck. Besides its a toy so if it were pretty I wouldn't want to take it out on the trails and risk tearing it up.
