I'm calling PETA, they need to investigate why deer seem to want to commit suicide in front of your truck. It has to be a choice. A 20 ft roadway is simple for them.

People eating tasty animals????? Lol

Ok I'm gonna finish the pics so far.
That grill was the one with the peeling chrome. I peeled off the loose stuff, sanded the joint and painted it. I like it. I used metallic blue on the emblem.

Kinda straightening the garage up


U like my extended garage??? Lol


She's about to be unveiled


A dryer vent n a hose clamp is a godsend




I took it for a drive with no headlights,,, it ran perfect,,, but I have to say,,, I'm not sure what I expected from the atlas 40 tune,,,, but I am not impressed. I think I wasted $500 on something that didn't need messing with. I wonder if they accidentally loaded a stock tune in it. Dunno???

The clutch didn't slip at all,,, but it's definitely different. The grab n release points seem fine,,, but the pedal feels different. Not sure how to explain it. So far so good tho.

I also got the back side completely led'ed out.


I have missed my girl.


There's no leaks,,, so in with the good stuff




Finally putting back on my insurance policy.


Well crap,,, I didn't take a pic of it on there. It runs smooth,,, I haven't made the abs cycle tho. Not yet that is. People were looking at my funny cause I was driving around with no bumper or headlights.

Funny,,, my headlights left CA at 6am today. I might be working by the end of the weekend. At least it's a 600 mi trip to get to work for me,,, I can take state routes and that should get the clutch broke in.

I'm kicking around when to change the oil. I'm thinking about changing it before leaving for Indiana, and possibly changing it when I get there. It's prob ran for about an hour right now. Do u guys think it would b beneficial to change it this much???

Great point,,,, the ground on the back pass head prob needs some cleaning. I did clean off the one on the front pass bottom.
