Took my truck for a short ride today Woohoo!!
Well ok a couple of feet down the other end of the parking lot NOT Far But it made it back on it's own, I did leave both of the rear tires marked on the pavment Woohoo it was fun...... My truck finally got some much needed sun yesterday it's been over a year since it had been out of the garage it is slowly getting there with the help of fellow board member BIGJAKE97 we have been working on my truck on and off and finally after breaking the fuel regulator last week UPS dropped me off a new one along with some -An fittings early yesterday morning. I was lucky dude left them on my porch because I never heard the door bell I was sleeping as I work grave shift ok ok enough with the jibber jabber here are some pictures and a short video of me fireing it up.. Yes the bed is darker as it has not been painted yet don't laugh It's not done yet ok.....Hopefully we will have the driver side fender on today

Re: Took my truck for a short ride today Woohoo!!
Great looking truck Petey, that thing is beautiful!
From you avy I read that you are running a 4.5/4 drop on your truck, is this correct? I know it'd a redundant question, but it looked a little high to me.

When you started your truck and I heard that rumble and fire come out of the exhaust, I thought, NASCAR truck series. Too cool!

Re: Took my truck for a short ride today Woohoo!!
I'm just wondering if you are leaving the exhaust that way. It's gotta be loud in the cab!
It's hard to tell but is the bed a different color or is it just the shadow? That is a super cool green! |

Re: Took my truck for a short ride today Woohoo!!
I have no Idea if it will it was rubbing enough to take the paint off the Lid when I bought the truck... But then again the Motor was sitting on I6 Motor mounts and alittle closer to the fire wall, we will have to wait and see....But then again WHO NEEDS A HOOD I am just happy to have it almost complete....
