Gave my girl a new smile ;)
and a lot more air to the radiator. I got the skid plate when I purchased the cab from a GL auction. Had to cut the bumper a bit to make it fit.

Most of my time is spent on Padre Island and at night I get a lot of recovery requests. Even with the amber convoy strobe, backup alarm, and backup camera I'm always leery of people on foot trying to "help" (there is typically alcohol involved with folks being stuck at the beach at night).

So I added a backup strobe as well as a whip strobe up top (I can leave that on and it should help folks locate me when needed).

I bought a set of cab air bags to replace the old leaky ones that came with the truck. It has always been a problem with the system air pressure, so this should fix that issue. Now on to the next one or three.

Got my much needed Primeweld TIG225X so I can start some fab work.

Crane mount is finished (FINALLY), now to do the wiring and quick-disconnect off the dreaded and magical smoke container under the ether bottle.

New to me M1079A1R came in and am going through it. Weak point in the harness/loose connection in terminal caused some funky issues and I assume that's why the unit was removed from service. I bundled the harness up and the issue went away so simple temporary electrical fix for now.

between 7pm and 3am we mostly installed a bridge (air lift bridge with air cleaner etc) behind the cab.

Sorry pic sucks.. My customized generic tablet cover still needs work (this model tablet is too new/ Chinese crap for accessories to be on market for it
