Another new Lightning owner

Hey guys just bought a Lightning yesterday. Don't get to drive it till I get back from my deployment but super excited about it. Needed something to play with on the street since I have my lifted 97. Here's the specs so far.

2002 True blue
32k miles
03/04 wheels
Plumbed for nitrous
CAI
Rear bumper is being painted next week

Mods I have planned
lower
4lb or 6lb lower
stifflers braces
ported eaton and throttle body
Punisher valve body
tune

Run it like that while I build my new engine for it. Now for the pics.

Haha I asked him the other day. He said he is gonna check for me. I need to ask him again.


Getting excited to get back to the states. Only 29 days left on this deployment. Then I get to drive my truck for the first time. And start putting my mods on. Been collecting parts here and there. Right before I get back plan on ordering the suspension and long bars/x-brace, drive shaft loop.
