i painted the pvc pipes, core support, and inside the fenders flat black. i also reinforced the snorkel with exhaust clamps and band straps.

thank you.

its pretty clean but leaks oil so i have to fix that, its either the oil pan or rear main (or both). i also painted the piece that goes from the throtle body to the air box ford blue like the valve covers, but i didnt like it so i never put it on lol.

the parts truck had this viser thing on the back window so i put it on my truck:



here are some pics of the interior, the seats are from the parts truck:





i painted the bottom of the fenders flat black to match the rocker panels:



i painted the piece from the throttle body to the mass air sensor ford blue when i painted the valve covers, i didnt put it on the truck until today because i thought it stuck out to much:



i also took the ford emblem off of the parts truck tailgate and put it on mine:

i decided to give the snorkel more air so today i added a vent. this vent is used for campers Danco
Galvanized Plumbing Vent Cap for Mobile Home and it worked perfectly.



first i drilled a hole in the cowl with a 3 inch dewalt hole saw, then i used a 2 inch coupler, 2 pieces of 2 inch PVC pipe, and a 90 to bring the snorkel piping up through the cowl.








here is the vent before bolting it down and painting it:











here is the vent painted and bolted down:















the vent is very low profile, and to extend the snorkel up to the roof i just have to take the cap off and connect a piece of PVC pipe with a rubber coupler:







after installing the vent i decided to repaint the cowl and the vent, i will get beter pics when its not so dark out:

i got this roll bar from WNY964x4 from therangerstation.com today, its not bolted down and is sitting on top of the bedliner.










the roll bar seems really tall to me. i might shorten the posts sometime, but for now its getting bolted on as is.

 

[DRIFTGOD187]

i cut 4 inches off the 4 posts and it looks alot beter, i took the bedliner out and set it in:











the sides touch the bed so i will just keep a inch on the bases when i weld it back together.

Wow, very nice job! I am looking to make my truck a 4x4 sleeper, good on the open road, but with modular changes to make it a capable wheeler. I really like the way you made that snorkel vent. Good job!

 

[DRIFTGOD187]

thank you

 

[blueka]

are you going to put lights on the top of that rollbar? That would look really sweet you know!!! great work keep it up! Post more photos soon!

thanks, the roll bar has mounts for 2 lights so i will probobly put 2 on it.

tomorow im going to start installing the roll bar so i will get pics.

for now im going to cut the bases down to 1 inch and then put a piece of 3 inch pipe in between and botl them together. this way i can mount the bases to the bed and put the bedliner back in, then bolt the roll bar to the bases. when i get a beter box im not going to use the bedliner, when that time comes i will weld it together.
