Talk about those bored Sundays... Makes me like a bit more the 3 spoke wheels, it gives a nice brushed look to the lip since I sanded the gray stock paint too. And finally found the reason for adding oil, the camshaft seal was leaking bad.

I always liked the clearance lights the F 150 Raptor has in the grille so I decided to give it a try. Bought some 3/4" leds and this is the result Drilled a couple holes on top of the grille and secured them with zip ties until I get some glue The center one was a pain! I had to cut the hell out of the little triangle since it wasnt open in the first place lol. I had to do this in order to align it as the other two The final result ☺

Well I started building the tire carrier today. As you can see my truck was rearended at some point First I removed the exhaust support and shortened the pipe. I will relocate the support. The hard part, hacked a hole at the cabs corner, dont worry I will seal it back. This gave me enough room for the square tube that will hold the spindle Did some measurements and came up with this contraption. 1/4" plate welded in L shape. The lower plate will be bolted using the tow ring holes, Im still debating if I weld it to the plate or just keep it off. The side plate will be bolted as well. Drilling will be the next step. Here's how it will mount The square tube will be trimmed to reinstall the bumper and the lower plate as well. I will weld a pipe on it with a nut on top to sit flush with the bumper's step pad to receive a bolt. That will work as a locking device for the swing arm.

More progress on the tire carrier The main bracket is done as far as mouting. I still need to weld the cut I made on the square tube to give it the angle I wanted. Ill add another bolt to the bottom on the side towards the end of the frame This is a mock up of how the spindle will look. Ill weld a pipe through the square tube to mount and weld the spindle on it

I wish they would've brought the 2 door montero to the states. I would take one of those over the sport whether its that body style or the newer one.
