I got some 16x10 raceline rock crusher wheels with worn 305/70r16 General Grabbers for $300 just to try them and I didn’t like them. I later sold them for $450.
Those are some good looking wheels, I wish I would of known so I could of buy them from ya.
Some friends and I removed the bed off the truck to repaint the frame. I had it sandblasted and repainted the frame with POR-15. I also replaced the rear fuel tank with a plastic tank and did the fast fill mod on both tanks and put new stainless steel brake lines on.
I put the truck up on a dyno at a dyno day event. The truck made 343.8 hp and 729.2 torque with 3 very consistent runs. All that was done at this time was baby swamps, exhaust, programmer, T500, and the turbo upgrades.
Aluminum bed rails to match the toolbox and the tailgate diamond plate. I’ve been looking for diamond bead rails like these for 2 years and I finally found them. The tuck came with black plastic ones that I never cared much for from Summit Racing and scratched up the top of my bed side from them moving. Well when I bought new aluminum ones from Summit but they didn’t hang down as much as the black ones and weren’t enough to cover up the scratches so I took them back and put the black ones back on. And I finally found someone parting out a truck that had these diamond bed rails that hang down lower than regular aluminum ones on most trucks, and I got them for only $20, but need polished.
Put a new Valair Ceramic/Kevlar 500hp and 1000 torque clutch in the truck after I smoked my last one when I was trying to do a 3rd gear burnout in front of some friends. As soon as I dumped the pedal the truck just revved up and the tires weren’t spinning, and I had to limp it home. When I drop the trans I found one of my 10mm stubby wrenches that I dropped, and couldn't find. Now if only I could find some of the other wrenches and sockets that I've lost in the engine bay lol.
One of my buddies recently got a 6.0 powerstroke and was in a drive thru and shut the truck off to order and went to fire it back up and the truck wouldn’t start lol. So had to help him out. Who would have guessed a 7.3 would be saving a 6blow lol.One of my buddies recently got a 6.0 powerstroke and was in a drive thru and shut the truck off to order and went to fire it back up and the truck wouldn’t start lol.

Haha! This just warms my heart. Makes my day to see this happen. Hello, from another (local) Nathan. If you ever get in a spot and need a hand, let me know.

Sorry about that. I only had them posted for a day before I sold them, and had a bunch of people message me. So I guess a lot of people like them.

Yeah I agree Alcoas FTW. I'd really like some 16x10 Welds like super singles, typhoons, sorpios, or sidewinders. Buy almost all of them are 16.5s and if they are 16s the sellers want too much.
