I'll have to get over to the school by me. there is still nice piles of snow there and take some pictures to post up.

hopefully I won't get stuck and have to start a "whoops" thread! :-)

Lol! There is a reason I wanted you to go first... ;)
 






yea!

but you sit higher than me! LOL
 






Get some tires dog!
 






tires are sitting in the garage! LOL

on 15x10 rims but on a different stud pattern
 






I know what that's like. I have a buddy who has some gorgeous 33s calling my name but they're on Yota rims. He told me I could test em out if I wanted but I don't feel like spending to get them put on my wheels just to test em.

Tell ya what...if this snow holds up I'll go get a poser shot first...be checking my registry this weekend. But I'm still looking for one from you! :D
 






well!
it rained here I will see about the mall. they had some big snow mounds over there and I think I can still snag one or two pictures at the parking lot there.
 






it was 32 degrees this morning so I road out to the mall to maybe get some pic's on the piles.

well!
when I was ready to set it all up, the police man asked! "your not going to ruin my day with paper work are you?" :lol
needless to say I didn't get any pictures.
 






so now I started prepping my driving light brackets for paint.

they were in pretty good shape as far as the metal is concerned. so I scrapped them off and cleaned them up a bit.

and then I put on half the paint. rustoleum paint

this morning I went to check on my brackets to see if I could reinstall them on the truck. they were a little sticky but not that I couldn't finish the job.

so I greased all the bolts, nuts and adjusters for the lights and put them all back together and reinstalled them on the truck.
not much to see from the front but from the back!

Those parts rust pretty well. I had to notch my brackets to fit, looks like you avoided that by altering your bumper brackets. Pretty neat. The corner bumper braces are garbage, one broke when I was removing it. Rusted thru. Luckily LMC trucks sells them for around $8 or so. Dealer prices can be quite un Hilarious....
 






yea!
mine rusted thru too. but I think I'll make some with angle iron and that will give it more strenght down the road.

You made my morning, lol. I went over to my buddy's farm and got some good shots. I have to get them off his camera...Check my registry later tonight and they should be up.

Nice job on the driving light brackets. I'll have to check the ones on dad's Mounty & see if they have the same cancer.

you are so lucky!

tonight when I went to leave work there was this little pile of snow! and I was like "what the heell!

If I were less of a gentlemen there would be some sort of joke here about getting it up first. But I'm above that ;)
 






sometimes there has to be fun in it!
