Where do you live???? I'm about to swap my D35 for a C8.25 as an upgrade. D44 would be awesome!

Bought and mounted new PIAA fog/driving lights! Did not have time to get them wired today, but I will have plenty of time this weekend.

A new cap wouldn't cause you to loose coolant or run 260!(ouch) is it plugged? How does the coolant look? You could overheat a lil because of a bad cap, but normally not like that.

I mounted my fire extinguisher. Costco sells these in sets of two and they come with these brackets, so I mounted the bracket in my spare tire mount in the back sense my spare is on my roof rack.

No, I bought it from Logan's Metal Products. I have the matching rear too, looks even better. I have all those pics in my build thread, linked in my signature if you wanna see

Looks good.

Finally somone else with common sense to mount it to something solid. instead of the cheap plastic interior that will rip off in an accident and do more damage than the initial impact itself.

Replaced the drivers footwell yesterday and found a leaking brake line, so now fighting with the wheel cylinders because the bleeders are frozen. At this rate the whole truck will be brand new in a year.
