Yay! UPS just dropped off my MBRP turbo-back exhaust. *evil grin* Just a few more deliveries away from 'turbo day'.

Edit: Opened the box to inspect... and it looks like a grapefruit cannon. This pleases me.

 

I'm making progress.

 

Yes you are! Looking great Bill - hope you have it ready by June!

 

I'm gonna do my best!

 

Reps for sharing pics... and doing a great job on your rig. Shame I can't give reps twice. :-)

 

Thanks Rob! I'm not sure i will spend the time doing underneath a cab again, because now i have to do under the bed! overall i'm happy with the way it turned out.

 

Wow! Dittos: looks fantastic!

 

Thanks Ron!

 

Slowly starting to get it done, just got the rear suspension on. Kind of has an 8100 vibe to it. Next will be the fiberglass and front and rear bumper

 

Fiberglass?

 

Yeah going to put flared front fenders it. With the suspension I have and the 35's I need the clearance

 

what suspension do you have? You planning on clearancing the firewall at all?

 

I have the Camburg 6.5 kit on the front. I haven't really put it through it's paces yet, when I did take it out I got some really bad rubbing mainly on the front bumper. I don't think I'll have to do any work to the firewall but I'm going to cycle the sus. and find out. I watched a buddy with this same kit on a ranger tear up his truck pretty good leaving the stock fenders and bumper on. I know it's two different trucks but I def. learned his lesson on letting a possible problem become an actual problem. There are some pics in my gallery of the front suspension

 

Sounds like you're one of the smarter ones if you will actually cycle the suspension to look for clearance issues. Keep in mind to cycle at full steering lock on both sides - and wheels cranked both ways.

I would think you were gonna lose (or at least trim) the front bumper when you go to fiberglass, so that should clear up the issues there.

*edit* Just scrolled through your gallery and realized you were the one selling the light blue supercab. Man I'd quit throwing $$ at the '99 and instead put it in that old 75! But that's just me...

 

Yeah I was hoping to get this done before the henderson race next week but the holidays are taking all of my money! I'm probably going to trim the bumper and then fabricate something around the stock bumper with at least two KC HID's mounted to it. Then while i'm doing all of this I'm going to drop off my leaf springs with Deaver in Santa Ana and have them tuned to my truck, they're a little stiff.
