well a wicked wheel on a Garret power max would do it, but just adding the GPM on a stock with no Tune you don't get the full Benefit .

 

Got the windshield tinted. Next up is new tires all around. Currently they are 235/85/16s, fronts are dry rotted bad, backs are decent but different brands in front and back so i figured id just get 6 new ones and start fresh. Plus i want 315/75/16s on the stock wheels for a more aggressive stance.

Then down the road i think I'll do some new lights and front end upgrades. For now I'm loving it as a daily!

Oh yea i have an mbrp 4" turbo back straight pipe i ordered that my buddy is gonna help me install soon also.







My 2 babies

 

Nice looking trucks. I've done 39,000 miles in a year. What did you tint the windows with? I was looking at 3M ceramic tint. I wasn't sure about tinting the windshield, how is the clarity and night time drivability ?

 

Nice. No front or front side tinting allowed here and they're sticky about it. Otherwise I'd black out for sure. Looks great.

 

I forgot what my tinter uses, i believe its the 3m ceramic you mentioned.

If you do a light shade on the windshield, its not hard to see at night. Mine is as its 5%, but I've been driving this way for 11 years now so I'm very used to it. I love it bc of the Florida sun and heat, and also it just looks badass on any car with blacked out windows all around.

 

We can do the side and back, not the front. People do it all the time so I'm thinking about it. A black truck with black windows just looks cool.

 

Its not legal here either but most cops let it go since its so damn hot here

 

Took these a few weeks ago one morning really early. Edited them with the "Snapseed" app. I thought I had posted them, guess not, so here they are. I think they look badass with the HDR filters!









Took this earlier this evening.

Just an HDR filter applied to the pic i posted the other day.



And last but definitely not least, posted up in front of my aunts new house, next to her range rover.

 

Nice pictures. The filtered one is cool.

 

Most of them are filtered, the first 3 are filters too just not as strong as the others.

Anyways, thanks!

 

She's not perfect (paint wise) but from a distance you cant tell haha

 

Nothing major, just a few small updates/fixes.

Both pieces broke off when i bought the truck so i took the ones off my beater 99 f250 that im selling. Gotta paint them.



My buddy is gonna try and buff/paint correct this, eventually i may paint it all but for now im gonna try and make it look the best i can.



The truck has 235/85/16s on it, but the fronts were incredibly dry rotted. I was scared to keep driving on them, and i haven't made up my mind yet on what 6 new tires i want to order yet. So i got 2 front tires to hold me over a month or two until i order 6 new matching tires. They're a little bigger, 265/75/16s, and they are passenger tires, but they're up front and like i said a month, two max. They were free anyhow.

I was gonna go with some 9.00-16 bias plys, but after reading reviews i decided not to. I want to eventually lift it and do 37x12.50s, but for now i cant afford that. So im leaning towards 315/75/16s, after seeing these 265/75s on the stock wheels, i like how the wider tire looks a lot!

 

Oh yea, can you run those spike looking lugs on the front stock wheels and leave the center cap off? Do they look stupid on the stock wheels?

and if i run 315/75s, i know ill need rear spacers, but i read i also need to level the front. How high is a "level" kit? Can i get away with a front shackle lift until the next set of tires is needed, at which point i can lift it for 37s with a suspension lift?

 

Couple of my buddies already gave me crap for this lol, but i like it. I bought my truck to use as a truck, i still try to keep it clean but im not gonna worry if it gets scratched etc, and i want everything to be functional too. Just the other day i could have used this carrying 16ft 2 bys back from home depot, instead of out the bed, i could have leaned them against this headache rack and strapped them down. Now i can. Got it for 75 bucks, sounded like a good deal.

I did have to take the chrome bed rails off, they were in the way, I'm may try and redrill holes to move it a few inches so it fits, but i may leave them off. I liked them, but they also were for a short bed, because when i bought the truck there was a toolbox on the bed also, which i removed. May get longbed rails instead depending on price.

Also washed it today. From a distance it looks great, but up close theres scratches and scuffs all over. Im sure my buddy can detail it and perform his "paint correction" steps, and remove a majority of the imperfections, but there's still a handful of scratches on it that won't be able to be buffed out. I'm fine with it though as i mentioned, bought her to use as a truck and a daily. My excursion is my non haul anything with it truck, other than tow bc that wont scratch or dirty up the truck.

 

these are pics i found on google, but mine should be here soon. i searched all over for pics and these were the only 2 i could find of gray leather with a black bin and with a gray bin. couldn't decide what color i wanted, and also du-ha offered 2 different gray colors, so knowing my luck, i would have ordered one and it wouldn't have matched. after seeing these 2 pics though (not sure which gray is pictured below), i just decided to go with black, to me it blends better with the seat brackets.

i never use the OEM metal tray, granted i've only had the truck 3.5 months, i used it once just because, and to me it's not very useful. i know some people love them, i can see how they'd work for some people though. it's for sale/trade, if interested just shoot me a PM. local (tampa florida) would be best, but i won't mind shipping, at buyers expense of course. i cant wait for the du-ha to come in so i have an out of sight place to store my drills/hand tools that i usually carry with me for whatever i may need them for, as well as straps jumper cables etc.

im still toying with ideas for a storage system for behind the seat. not sure if im going to shift the rear bench forward like i planned, or not. not likely to now, since the du-ha i think will give me a good amount of storage space, so i won't need all the room i was thinking i wanted behind the seat.
