A bunch. Did you see my tubbing thread in the tech section?


Anyway, Got the front fenders on and zip tied the mudflaps on for now. Its one thing to not have mudflaps but its another to not have a fender. I also drove around and got my speedo calibrated with the yellow box. Good stuff.

They're just metallic aluminum. Better then the chrome they were.

The front still aren't cut. But the rears do look good if I do say so myself.
Thanks Jerry!

Nice work Scoob! Where did you buy the yellow box to calibrate your speedo? I recently put some 33's on my truck and I'm pretty sure my speedo is off...

That's nothing compared to a superlift truspeed (185-215). And when you google speedo calibrator, the truspeed completely overshadows the Dakota digital and the yellow box in advertising. Making the end user believ it's the only option.

I said it yesterday, the speedo calibrator is the best 100 bucks I've spent.

I guess I better start saving some money for the yellow box. I just can't justify spending $200 on a speedo calibrator...

Eh, 100 bucks ain't too bad for the yellow box. They have a 10 year no questions asked warranty also

I'll never quit building it. I'll sell it or die. So no, not too late. And thanks!

Heck no. I just barely trimmed an inch off the fenders today to alleviate rub on the street. Finishing those up this weekend when I have the time to pull the C/Os and do some testing.

Didn't want to post pics.. because I didn't want to admit that I messed up the lines on the drivers side..
Most probably won't even be able to tell.. But I trimmed 1" off of the fenders. The passenger side went PERFECT. It looks great. No complaints there. Somehow, I think its because of one of my dents on the drivers side, after my initial cut I didn't think it looked right on the front edge. Didn't stop to take pictures but I kept going with the flap wheel and eventually it started looking like crap. I kind of recovered it, but I'd like to find a new (used) fender eventually for a redo.







Anyway, try not to flame me too bad about it.
