paints done pickin it up in the am then mount the simulators and clean the interior ,,got some small polishing to do,

over the weekend im planing to move the battery box to the pass side next to the hyd tank and install a ss tool/step box to reach the body ladder,

hoping to get to the auto cover guys early next week and get the install completed, had vibco send a bertha up to them as well

Have you been to DMV to register it yet? I was just wondering what you were going to be able to register it for and how many ton you would be able to haul on it.

I'm hoping to put one on our single axle this winter(exhaust brake), we hired another guy so it's been run a lot more. They work pretty well I think, I've always been happy with the ones on the trucks at the FD.

Where did you get your simulators?I'd like to get a set for the single axle also. There are a ton of places to get them, I want to make sure I get a decent set, I've been looking at the phoenix ones, but they are awfully expensive.
