I really like the 2 tone. When I grow up, I will get that for my truck.

#'s

I will be getting #'s soon. Just need a free day. I think now is a good time to dyno and 1/4 mile it before I do the compound turbo.

That's a good lookin' rig! Love the lights! I just updated mine with all LED's. Super bright amber at night, and clear compact light housing during the day. Looks great!

Wow, nice looking rig. That is a nice color scheme. I remember that 6" exhaust, is it a 4" downpipe to 5" to 6" in a short span? With a 6" pipe the sharp bends don't really effect flow that much, i bet it sounds awesome.

rig

I have the LEDs on the light rack I made, and the lights under the door are going to get upgraded also to LED. That will be expensive. Does anybody know where I can get a set of single LED lights? Or do you think the doubles will look good underneath just like the light rack? And as for the sound. . . . It is the most amazing sound I have ever heard. No 7.3 sounds like it. It howles, it whistles, and it barks like crazy. Soccer moms hate it! Its a 3.5 " downpipe that goes straight into a home fabricated 6"-3.5" reducer. And it was really touch to make that all fit with a factory heighth minus four inches

bends

Also the bends in the exhaust are all 30 degrees. . . so they're not even sharp. I'm very happy with how the exhaust looks underneath. If only I could find 6" stainless. . .

Good-looking truck, Tim. I like the lights, too.

For some LEDs that should work well on the pinch weld like you have your current setup, try Truck-Lite model 35 LED lights. You can probably find a seller on Ebay that has them, or even if they don't have them for sale currently, you can try messaging them and they can probably get them for you. I've gotten all my LEDs that way and have gotten some great deals.

The model 35 lights are good because they are narrow, so they'll fit on that skinny pinch weld real well. You can see what the lights are like in this part of my webshots:

Mine are sorta hidden by the running boards but you can see the basic shape of the lights, still.

Thumbs up Memories at the airport

That truck is awesome!! Now you just need to put you a "FOLLOW ME" sign on the bar. I see you are at an airport, and it brings back memories of the Follow me trucks I have followed in my 21 years in the Air Force!

lights

Yeah your running board lights look good. I'll eventually change all mine to LED. But I'm not going to until I get my mudflaps enlarged to keep rocks off the body. Notice that one light cover came off due to a rock on the drivers side. . . just one day after installation I live in huntley, and spend much time at Lake in the Hills(airport) hampshire and sometimes dekalb.
