yeah i was leaning more towards the rectangle one. Not seen too often out the side of a truck. And i agree.. if i was to punch a hold in the bed i would go with the round tip. And i thought about doing that. But it would be right under the stepside and with all the curves and stuff would look really odd. But keep the feedback comming!

option #2

the DOHC 5.4 will run on the stock 4.6 tune as long as you use the stock injectors and MAF and then upgrade when you get your tune (24#ers with a 90mm MAF will be fine N/A)

Yeah i went ahead and orded the rectangle tip. We will see how she looks. Should be here monday! Do the brake lines. Put the fuel tank sending unit in. then put the bed on and do the exhaust. Then the cab... Yay!

I put the rear bumper on the frame just to see what it looks like.. and omg... i had to grind off the little tabs on the bottom of the bumper because it was so low I couldng get the bumper on.

This thing is gonna be nuts to drive

I could only get the line in 25' rolls when I did it. 25' wasn't enough since I didn't want to split it anywhere. So, I ended getting another roll of it. Glad I did, one of my rears leaked...Do over :o

alright guys gotta question. Getting read to whack off some wires. like the wires going to the ABS box. Just cut em off? Or am i gonna have to check where every single wire goes?

my fuel gauge should show up today. Among with some other parts. Thats the only thing keeping me from putting on the bed and finishing the exhaust.
