Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

if you have a US shipping address you get around that. over here we use an outfit called Seawings express international. they have a Blaine address and they bring stuff over daily $17.00 brings over 5lbs. pick it up at Victoria airport, whisk it through customs and your gone. there must be someone doing that at Abbotsford,a/port. US shipping to Blaine is usually minimal so in the end it doesn't make much difference and you don't have to pay those courier ripoff brokers fees.

Thanks again for the feedback

Thanks for sharing that they fit well. I'd like to add those to my truck someday, along with the chrome frames on the side glass. I think they'd upgrade the cab every bit as much as the stainless windshield trim.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I don't mean to high jack the thread but how do the bottom of the bags attach to the lower control arms or do they just sit in the pockets?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

My script valve covers arrived from Don today!

Woohoo!

They look great.

Now, to mod them for a PCV valve and a baffle and then repaint.

The bottom of the bag bolts to a cup that just sits in the spring pocket.

Installed a IPod stereo set up today. It consists of a Kicker Pxi50.2 controller a Kicker HS8 powered subwoofer and a pair of 4" 2-way speakers mounted in a pair of moulded plastic Versa-pods. The sound is incredible and it is totally hidden from view.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

enabled the autotuner on my megasquirt to tune the truck wow this things gonna be scary fast:metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

To say that I did this today would be a lie. It has taken me about a month. Removed the original rad and installed new aluminum, lost the old broken shroud and noisy fan and installed an electric fan. Also removed the leaking LMC master cylinder and put new mc and reconditioned booster.
Hope everyone has a relaxing Easter Weekend.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Started blasting my new to me rear end. I didn't have a lot of time so I just messed around for a bit. I am using a HF 50 lb blaster. I just wish I had a bigger compressor. It will take a couple of hours to get it done but it will look good. I'm going to put new seals in it por 15 it and put on a chrome cover and olts. The brakes will be all new and new u joints. I'm also having the trailing arms powdercoated and new bushings and bolts. 1st pic is half blasted pumpkin 2nd pic is the axle tube kinda blasted.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

What are your compressor specs? I've got a single stage 60 gal, 135psi. I wonder if that's enough for occasional blasting...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Mine is a 25 gal 125 psi. It will work but its going to take a while because I will have to stop and wait for it to refill.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

it is all about cfm's what does youre's put out at 90 lbs? mine puts out 8.5 at 90 and it still needs to catch up

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Mine is only 4.3 at 90. Its good for about 30 seconds at a time. :lol: Maybe time to go get a new compressor.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Just the front makes all the differance in the world in the way it handles, I really enjoy mine after it was installed.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
