Updates? Or just more pictures would suffice.

[mikeday]

I know I suck at updates, but i've actually done quite a bit to my 5 and the pickup recently!


First i made some suuuper elaborate headers for my e34.. ;)







And the 5 looks a little different too :)




As for the pickup, I finally finished my trailer hitch/weight distribution repair mod. I cut a notch out of the valence to access the reciever and used a chunk of tube to hold the cut out piece back in when not in use. I didnt get any picture of that though :(






And just yesterday used it to bring my bike to get registered.

OMFG! whos crispy fresh vert is that?!?!?!

[mikeday]

Snagged some pics of the reese hitch and valence blank.










I just started mocking up some bed sides too, looks much better already :up:



It even has a nifty door so i can change tail light bulbs!

[mikeday]

Got a bit more done on the bed of the pickup!

I cut out the old chunk of angle that i put at the back edge of the bed so that i could get it to sit flush.





And while i was at it i added some supports in between the trailer hitch frame.



Leaving me with a nicely supported area for the floor. :D




Then i cut out a piece to cover the hole for good, with some speed holes!





And finally all nice and burned in (sorry for the crappy phone shot)

Wow, some great work on that floor. I fucking LOVE the way you did the hitch too.

I love what you did with the hitch! What do you plan to tow?

Thanks, I'm not sure yet actually. But between jet skis, dirt bikes, and atvs i'm sure i'll find something.. I doubt i'll be able to tow anything too heavy with this miserable 6 puck I have though

[RickSloan]

[einstein57]
