Saturday I got the ported supercharger back from Stieg, then I installed the 2.8 pulley and flashed the custom tune from Troyer.

Once I got back home I replaced the front and rear headlights/tail lights with LED/CCFL HID Projectors

lots of work in one day lol

I have 2 sets of tires, the stock wheels and tires (close to be wornout) for burnouts, and a set of terra grapplers 34S on nicer wheels, the stock wheels and tires always look weird with the fender flares, I never get used to it.. but I can't afford to burnout new tires lol

It was a blast, especially the cruse that took place that evening with all the streets blocked off and hundreds of people lining the streets in their chairs cheering us on...
While it looks good, there is something VERY odd about the color saturation in your recent photos of your truck... Too much blue. Are you doing anything with post processing or is this something your camera is doing?

Just ordered a full "1 click kit" set of Powerstop drilled / slotted rotors and HD pads for the truck. My front pads are nearly at metal, and my rotors are warped. I may be dillusional, but I am thinking a better ventilated rotor will resist warping better than OE.

Tires and alignment are coming as well. Will get the truck in to the tire shop for those as soon as I get the new brakes in / broken in...

Next up is belts and hoses. It's past time.

Rotated the tires. Washed truck. Cleaned out the truck bed. Got the oil changed and the clockspring recall done. Changed the rear shocks back to the Eibachs for a better ride. All ready for a weekend trip to Galveston.

I think that pic looks really good, though I did think it was altered to look like that

Bought a Dorman manifold & stud kit for the passenger side, traded my new 35x12.5/20s for new Nitto Trail Grapplers in 295/60-R20.


Going to order the lower ball joints next.

Gave it a top to bottom detailing and dressing also, didn't have to drive it all week, it still looks good.

Yeah Leo (OGterror) really made my truck stand out by giving me that hood!
Since I got the plugs changed and cleaned up the throttle body and MAS I'm loving the way it runs. I want more power now!

I remember! I even remember his hood building thread. Hell of a great guy Leo is. And what a master craftsman!

Okay not much today, just got home from running errands in the econobox, and found my FedEx package with the Rockauto tape all over it. Woo Hoo new brakes! If my lovely bride will let me, I will try to stab them on tonight, before the rain is supposed to start...
