Didn't take any photo's last night, too dark by the time I was done, but got the rear swing out mocked up and everything to work with each other. The swing out arm is longer then I wanted it to be, but I would have to make some major changes to other parts in order to make it all work the way initially I wanted it to, so that as a compromise was what I was willing to work with.

I prob wont have the the swing out finished with the final welds until late next week as I got a busy few days ahead of me this weekend.

Just for a bit of research I drove around today without anything extra in the box of the T, (took out tool bag, hi-lift, full sized spare, emergency supplies, etc.) noticed a huge difference in the ride quality and have some to the conclusion that I will need to upgrade my leaf pack to handle the "new" weight leveraging that far back on the rear of the T.... got to do some research to do, but unfortunately my #1 preferred option (SAO) is likely not going to happen as I wont be able fit into my parking stall at work (6'5'' max).

But I am going to add another main spring to see how that handles the extra weight and then see how that works.

For the summer months I am also thinking that I'll take off and store the Snug Top as well (in the winter it's great for keeping things dry) and hat is approx 200lbs!

Ordered my CB today, should be here in a week or so.

Went with the Cobra 75WXST as it had good reviews and is very compact!

I plan on hiding the reciever in the glove box when not in use and have the little box hidden under the center console out of sight. The connector will most likely be in the blank spot under my dash controls that was use for the rear window wiper on he H3's, or under the dash in the drivers foot well.

I watched about 15 sec of that used car salesman video and I now want to bunch that salesman in the face.

Found some Fender flare/mud flaps that looks way better then the ones I made so I got all of them installed last night!

I think they look great and for $100 they are way better then the OEM ones!
Here is a before and After:

Also installed my CB antenna last night, I opted for a magnetic base with a removable antenna as I don't need that thing up there all the time:
Just the mount, hidden at gound leve by the light bar:cb2.JPG

Also the CB came in today so I am pumped about that! going to get that installed tonight!

I actually picked them up at a local custom shop.. not sure if they still make them in the length that I got them in (47'') but here is a link to their page that has the 36'' set:
http://store.actionaccessoriesllc.com/prostores/servlet/Detail?no=307

You will need the 47'' set to make it effective enough (50-55'' would actually give you a better mud flap if they are available)

good luck!!

The shop I got them from: Diversion Performance Phone: 780-980-0007

Got the 4'' rounds installed last night.

Here is a comparison with 3 of the 4 combinations available to me:

Here is how it looks from the front:

Thanks!

I used some 1'' angle iron cut to 9'' long with four holes drilled, two to mount on the bumper (using 2 of the 3 original mounting points for the stock fogs) then two for the back of the light..... the only problem with this set up is they are angled a bit high, so I am going to have to get back in there and get the angle set a bit better.
