Now for what I've accomplished today!
I gave it a bit of a face lift
Before

After


I'm hoping the red will fade out just a tad to match my faded paint lol! It is a factory match color or really close its just looks brighter in the pics plus I painted over raw aluminum.
I also added some wheel spacers to the rear.

That's all for today hopefully I can get some more done soon!

Kick ***, the grille paint is a huge improvement, so are the wheel spacers.

Great tutorial! I enjoy reading about your mods, thanks for taking the time to document. Much appreciated.

I forget - where did the fans come from?

Unless I misread, why do you need an on-off switch in the cab?

Where did you mount the temp sensor for the controller? Near the upper radiator hose section of the radiator fins?

Thanks again! great job!

You made me want cake, so I took the easy way out, and make pancakes with a large amount of chocolate chips.
