ANy quieter with the cold air box? I used to like the sucking sound of the 6637, but it gets old on longer trips towing the 5er.

My tires next to stock sized tires

Car show guy was doing a nice burn out and his day got bad fast so myself and a bunch of other onlookers grabbed the front end and drug him into the parking lot.

Sister in laws Jeep broke down ..... 7.3 on a recovery mission

I was in one of the out buildings at work so I smoked the place out, my buddy in the Charger thought it was cool until he couldnt breath lol

The only down fall Ive found to a lifted truck is loading it and unloading it

Old truck vs. new truck..... I know its sad but it did get 25mpg all day long

To be honest I cant hear the intake and I couldnt before either Im half deaf in both ears. My wife said theres no difference. Performance wise theres no gain in it but I like under the hood to look as clean as the out side thats the only reason I did it

New shocks, I went with BDS, I dont recommend them unless your on a tight budget, I was when I got them, there better than the ones that were on there, the old ones fell apart once I got them loose.

Installed they look a lot better than the old ones

Before I took my running boards off

Them off, looks like it sits higher, they are now shelves in my garage

Or you can lower the truck to a functional, reasonable height and it will fit right in there.

I like the black flares on your white truck, I've always thought that looked great on white rigs.

Thanks for the compliments. JC8825 Are you crazy... lower it... not in a million years buddy lol it makes my truck what it is lol. The house I bought has 1.75 acres more than enough room for a pole barn and mama wants me to build one too . Jeff will back me up all day long on this topic wont you Jeff. The fun that I have with it in the woods makes up for the other headaches

I don't mind him at all, in fact if a stock ride height suited me better for my needs, it would have been left stock. Would have saved me a bunch of work, time , and money! I'm just pointing out that a stock height truck that get's high centered easily, at every drainage dug on any logging road, is not suited to me.
