    I got 'em off eBay. said they fit 87-95 PATHFINDER...sized perfectly to fit in those two center holes. He had to make some custom mount brackets for 'em, of course.

    Don is wiring them into their own little fuse panel and he's got a toggle sunk into one of the recessed holes in the dash, should look good.

    Finally…Li'l Truck is home!

    I was able to bring Li'l Truck home today, my beloved Char's birthday…something that kinda brings this "labor of love" full circle…I can't think of a more fitting day.

    Here are a few preliminary shots…I will write more narrative and take some better photos later, but I just wanted to say she's finally done.

    TOday was really overcast…I will drive her to scenic spot sometime soon on a sunny day and take better photos.

    One year and seven months later…..!

    Some "Glamour Shots"...

    My buddy Kyle came to spend some of his vacation with me, and we got to finally take Li'l Truck out of her storage unit and out to play for awhile.

    Hadn't gotten to enjoy driving her much in the last few months, and figured this was a good chance to take her out and see what other issues needed shaking out.

    Oil drips are beginning to happen, so she's currently back in Don's hands for getting that sorted out. Headlights needed aiming, and the steering wheel needed re-setting about ten degrees to the right. Where it "settles" going straight down the road, it's sitting at about 11:00, and that kinda drives me batty.

    My friend has a great new Canon full-frame DSLR, and he wanted to take some shots of Li'l Truck while we had her out for some fun. The full-frame sensor on the Canon is a big difference from the smaller sensor on my Pentax K-30. Didn't need to do any color-correcting or any adjusting to the photos.

    Some "Glamour Shots"...;-)

    Hope y'all enjoy!
