Took some photos...

As this is really the only section of the forums I participate in and my truck is supercharged thought I would post some photos... Don't mind the off angle offroad lights...need to realign those! Mods still to come are a larger heat exchanger for the aftercooler, GT500 hood vent, blacked out lights, and painting the bumpers black..

I had it made. It holds my extra gas cans and Hi-Jack (aka the widow-maker). I spend time in Baja, mostly as a chase truck for the SCORE races for the McMillin race team. Plus I do most of my bird hunting down there...,

So far so good. I just bought a new supercharger (Whipple) so am going to rip out the Vortech and run it. Should be able to make some real power with that thing that is much more usable!

Glad to hear. I saw that thread that you picked that up! That's gonna be a good power bump, and I prefer Whipples over everything else. Truck looks good

Two totally different types of superchargers so can't compare. Power wise I hope to make more with the Whipple!

They are from a company called Spyder. Installed HID lights for high and low. The only issue is the warmup time with the HID for the high beams. But frankly if I need to high beam someone I hit the middle LED lightbar. 9000 lumens let's them know to get out of my way. Here is the EBAY auction:

The Baja thing sounds interesting. I had mine grounded out today. Too much firewood in the box. Glad I got skid plates.

Height added to the front, but not to the rear. Look at these, including my own, they're worse haha
