I Been Busy.....

I finally got enough time off from work to be able to work on my truck

. In the last 2 weeks I installed a 14cm2 wastgated housing(after over 300k miles that stock turbo was a bear to separate). Then I removed the bed to scale the loose Ziebart/rust from most of the frame. I painted the frame w/semi-gloss Rustoleum(looks pretty good). While I had the bed off I installed new Skyjacker Nitro shocks then ran new supply and return lines for the fuel and hung the new 3" exhaust (turbo-back). (4" would have probably been better for my ego but I already had the Janetty system before I found out about Rip Rook). I put in the Fleetguard BHAF w/Outerwears prefilter. Haven't fully mouted it yet, just have a rainguard temporarly installed, Old Smokey's system looks promising. Just last night I installed a Skyjacker 2" lift front suspension. Now my truck sits level, not "nose-down". My original front springs were shot, I yielded a 3"+ gain in front height from that 2" lift. Oh yeah, and I changed the oil. This truck is really coming around.
