Believe it or not I have about 3 days in this thing from stock tube to drilling, cutting, welding and I am still not done.

What a PITA to get matching 4, four-inchers to the six incher 500s

I still need to run the master wire down the front windshield and under the “mustachioed man's” absurd rearview mirror support, then over to the driver side wiring cluster to connect to the 3rd ceiling toggle switch.

I am not going to drill the roof. After looking it over, there is just too much chance for rot there . I already pulled a few leaves and debris when pulling off the factory covers. I don’t like the look left behind when removing the painted covers either, so I still have to figure out a way to reverse mold them and blend in new covers with close enough rattle can factory paint to make it look more factory.

I think it has that 80s Cop Blazer, old school Tonka Look I have been talking about (although still far from finished).

So… Let me have it! God, bad, and Ugly, Love or Hatred!

Go!

Oh, and one last thing! A complaint. Ford! What are you thinking using 5/16 studs? Two on each side? That is also the roof rack mountsn correct ( I don't have a rack)? Those studs are way, way too small? Why not 3/8 studs?

I was actually a little afraid as I tightened down. there is just not much meat too those studs. Too many times on and off and people's light bars are gonna start slamming on their hoods after bahaing on a trail one night. 3/8 min I wouldn't place a stack of dryway or plywood on those studs? Would you?
