thanks, I'll give that a try. The wife wants me to Plasti-dip the "Tahoe" on her doors to pink. Maybe I'll do both rigs this weekend.

 

Thanks! Nope, I taped around the emblems then used some paper to mask around the truck for overspray etc...Left it alone for a couple of hours and removed them. Not too hard. The rear was the hardest cause I didn't tape between Excursion and XLT, but came off pretty good once I figured it out with a pick!!

 

Got the bumper mounted...definitely Superduty bumper only fits with some massaging! Bolt up looks the same, but the spacing is bigger on the SD. Also I would say the bumper is straight vs.wrapped. I will let the pics do the talking. I will take a couple more tomorrow, been a long day between kids, school, and mounting this thing slowly! Still not done, need to drill the second mounting hole, and adjust the bumper.

 

Doing my own HID retro...Just waiting on ballast and igniters..they were missed in the original order.

 

Been awhile but I needed a new air filter and came across a closeout at rock auto. Wasn't to happy with the Fram, but lo and behold what was in the box! Not bad for 50.00 if you have a AIS.

 

Good find! I bought 3 on close out from RockAuto last year for next to nothing per filter. I have filters for the next few years now.

 

I am not that lucky to a find a close to nothing deal!! I was going to order a few more, but not sure how long the AIS is going to be in there. Might be getting a new turbo

 

Sweet deal on the filters, how is the Headlamp project coming along?

 

All done for now. I need to make some final tweaks and they will be good to go. I think I can raise them a bit more. I will try to snap some pics in the AM and update the post.

 

Couple new items...will be installed in a couple of weeks!

 

New to me turbo...KC38R

 

Very nice!!!!

 

And sitting pretty in the truck!! Gotta say I am very happy. A little slower building boost cause still have the factory injectors, but when it builds it goes and does not let up. I think I snafu'd the boost line. I had some time constraints on me today, but the turbo and plenum inserts are in.

 

Holy smokes... now THAT's an interesting way to port a housing (circle of holes). Thank you for posting this picture. In 20 years of loosely following this engine, I've never seen this turbo before, although I've certainly heard about it.

 

Looks cool, I have heard a lot about this turbo and I am intrigued with it.
