[QUOTE="ChrisCo, post: 1559113, member: 18105"] Got to spend a few hours out in the shop yesterday. Zipped out some plates to mount my tail lights (I'm [I]really[/I] diggin' the plazzz!). I was wanting to mount the lights in between the tubes, but the gap ended up a bit smaller than I'd planned on. No problem... I'll "french" the plates into the tube :D [img]http://chrisco.texas-222.com/20111218/IMG_2680.jpg[/img] [img]http://chrisco.texas-222.com/20111218/IMG_2682.jpg[/img] It's just roughed in for now. I'll be pulling it back apart to clean up the cuts after I get the other three (one tail light and two backup lights) roughed in. ---- Got the bulk of the driver's side done. I still need to come up with some sort of cover for the back side of the lights. [img]http://chrisco.texas-222.com/20111221/IMG_2691.jpg[/img] I need to finish the passenger side, too. I've got the mounts tacked in, but I think I may need to remove it and reposition the brake light because it looks a little crooked... ---- 95% done with the tail lights. I added a license plate light today and got the passenger side done. I also added my antenna mount while I was working in the area. Here's the outcome: [img]http://chrisco.texas-222.com/20111222/IMG_2697.jpg[/img] [img]http://chrisco.texas-222.com/20111222/IMG_2698.jpg[/img] I still need to put together some covers for the back side of the lights. They're standing wide open right now, and I don't want it filling up with mud and muck. ---- SHOCKING!!! [img]http://chrisco.texas-222.com/20111226/DSC_0035.jpg[/img] I'd started out the evening planning to install a fuel preasure regulator, but decided that I wanted to put it on inside of the frame opposite of the area where shock tower would go. I didn't want to have to relocate it later on if it were in the way of the shock tower braces, so I put the shock tower on instead. I'll do the driver's side next, [I]then [/I]install the regulator... ---- I got the driver's side shock hoop done today, along with getting the fuel pressure regulator installed.

No pics of the work 'cuz it looks pretty much the same as is illustrated in post #199 :) Let's see... Quick punch list time.
