That is looking REALLY mean! I think less is more on the cab lights. Keep it up

Arioch...

Looking good man... Go with the wedico lights they look better than the tamiya ones they are a little larger than tamiya and look better on the cab.. Also 9 lights look better then 10 for some reason a odd number always looks better.. The air cleaners are nice I see what you mean maybe get some screen from Steve and warp that around the top will help and the chain box steps look great nice work...

The air cleaners are already off to be fixed I don't think lenses will fit in them, but I might try to get my hands on a few to try it out. That would make them perfect.

For the bumper... Haven't ordered anything yet but leaning toward a screw less wrap around from Steve.

Right now I'm trying to get my self to spend the $50 for the roof lights....

I need to mount the headlights too, anyone have tips on that? I have the square Pete style from PMD

Thanks for the comments guys!

Great looking truck. That grille is nice! Something a little different. Just smooth and clean. I like the air breather light bars too. Swapping out that stock bumper will pull it all together! I'll keep an eye on this build.

Thanks guys, I'm really liking how its turning out. I had my doubts when I first started the body work!

Today was pretty productive, got the roof lights mounted, and drilled holes for the rear cab lights.



Rear lights


Looks pretty bad a** from this angle


Thanks for taking a look guys!

Thanks cabs, that was the goal haha

Finished up the holes for the lights in the back panel, that was more difficult than it should have been....




Thanks for taking a look!

Woah I like way you have mounted your lights. What style of stacks are you going to use? Are you going to get aluminum tanks? Keep it up

Nice Job Arioch !
