Oh, ashtray-delete switch mount and diamond plate half-fenders.
Keep in mind that I don't have $&*t for tools or money.
This truck is never clean, it is a working rig.

I ran a 4" galvanized flex pipe from the bottom of my airbox to the foglight hole in the bumper but then ended up taking it out so i could reinstall my foglight and just ran the flex into the wheelwell.

I cut off my exhaust from the front of the cat to the tip. I was trying to get good sounding exhaust as cheap as possible. so i hollowed out the cat, cut a rectangle out of the top of the muffler and gutted in then welded the rectangular plate back in place. welded my exhaust back in place. started it up. sounded no different than before. some of my friends actually said it was quieter than before. apparently the sound dampens itself in the cat and muffler even when they are hollow. it's all good tho cause i've got 6"x48" bullhaulers now that sound great.
