They look sharp, and the price is reasonable, too:

Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
For all of that, $20 is a bargain (and it really looks sharp).Yea it's a nice piece. Cut out of stainless but the shiny silver didn't really jive with the rest of the truck so I painted it. Also came with stainless hardware for that price.
That's what Plumbers call them also, or "Beauty Ring". I guess "exhaust trim ring" works too, pretty descriptive. Looks nice. The exhaust on my M1009 comes out behind the tire.That's pretty slick:

(I'm a carpenter, not a body-shop mechanic, so I don't know what the body-shop word for that thing should be).
Well, stayed busy today. The truck has grown a 3rd pedal and there is a stick coming out of the floor.
What transmission is that hooked up to?Well, stayed busy today. The truck has grown a 3rd pedal and there is a stick coming out of the floor.
This is stage 1 of possibly 3. Right now it has the SM465 and the original 208 case. Stage 2 will be the addition of the Ranger Torque Splitter and a figure 8 New Process 205 coupled to the 32 spline 465.What transmission is that hooked up to?
Ah, the wishy washy. There was one here that closed many years ago. Much to my surprise I found that it had reopened a while back. Thursday I spent 20 minutes laying in the grunge under my SECM trying to hose all (some) of the spooge off prepping for the trans swap. Spraying with Purple Power and letting it sit for a while before pressure washing really helps loosen the spooge.Been driving it around this weekend. Got to pick up a trailer tomorrow. Gave it a wash yesterday and fixed the loose mirror. Heading out at 05:45 tomorrow morning.

Where did that panel come from? Thats nice!I added some of Gimpys lights and a D/C distribution panel in the M1009.
I bought it off of E**y its for a boat. I just used a 6x6 PVC electrical box and cut out a hole in the lid to surface mount the panel and painted the box black. I'm happy with the way it turned out.Where did that panel come from? Thats nice!
That panel and those lights look awesomeI added some of Gimpys lights and a D/C distribution panel in the M1009.
