Worked on this yesterday, had the idea floating around for the past year or so, but finally got around to doing it.





Still need to pull the gauge cluster and clean/ install LEDs.

Stickers and hat came in, so why not Minot.

Is that wood on the dash and the doors? Mine has plastic pieces on the dash and metal on the doors. Thought that was weird.



Hopefully my dog doesn't get ahold of this one like he did my last two hats....


The hat destroyer.

Cool hat you got there. Got to keep it up high away from the dog lol. Mine has it in the dash, the doors, and a overhead console. It's a Centurion truck.

Same here, mines a centurion also. The overhead console looks great still. Might try and match the stain.

Ordered some LEDs for the dash cluster to give me an excuse to pull it and clean it. They will be here Friday. I've read about people liking the Auxito stuff on other forums, and saw feedback of someone installing them in their OBS and loved them. For 16 dollars if they're crap then I'm not out too much.

Looks like I'm installing the 38 gal tank again, LED's and hopefully installing a muffler if it gets here on time.

Muffler came in last night so I got it installed this morning before my drive to work. Interested to see how big of a difference it makes.

Never thought I'd be putting a muffler back on, but the lack of drone is awesome. Its alot quieter than I expected but I'm over needing a loud exhaust. As long as it flows enough for my needs EGT wise I could care less. Besides, all I ever really hear is the engine anyway

Yep, drowns out wind noise from those 'like new' window seals.

How is life there, Florida Man? You have ceramic tint and that heat rejecting business I did on my floor yet?

Is it a straight through style? Not worried about back pressure once you install that compound T4 setup?

Getting rid of drone is always nice. I wish mine were that easy of a fix.

Nope I didn't realize how awesome that ball valve on the heater line was until I had it. My wife bugged me to no end until I finally took my truck in to get the AC fixed. I'll just roll the windows down and crack that vent. If I get ambitious enough I'll definitely do the padding of the roof and body like you did. Just haven't wanted to pull the interior yet.

Muffler is a straight pass through, got a weird design that is supposed to scavenge the exhaust to get it out faster to reduce EGTs. Either way I can see straight through it, 4" diameter and it muffled the exhaust so I'm very happy with it.

Can't wait for the T4..... I will proudly stand on that throne and look down on the stock turbo peasants
