Ditto. It ain't right to say I can't give rep's when rep's are deserved.

TRG!!! I recently had a small run in with a ditch because of a not so friendly snowplow which put a small dent in the box but nothing unfixable. lol "Bessy" has a new S&B intake and a Superchips tuner on her right now but I have a AFE 4" exhaust with 3" DP sitting on my floor that I'm putting on tommorow. I have a pyro going on tomorrow too. The shortlist is an HPX, Wildman chip and Injectors when the tax return rolls in. Oh BTW... i just found out about this forum last week and have been reading it consantly you guys are great!

TRG and I'm super happy with it. Thanks to all those here that have helped get it into shape. I bought it last April and it came home on a trailer with non-op title, barely ran and undriveable. To date have done all repairs and upgrades myself and have not spent one cent at a shop, I learned everything here on FTE. I'll be installing a 6.0IC pretty soon, I'm still waiting on one piece of the plumbing to be delivered.

Truck is definitely TRG. Up and coming are the stacks then the D66, Pulse, and probably a ceramic clutch.

Nothing beats seein an OBS going down the road doing a workout in style!

Great idea for this thread! TRG for the last 11 years since I got it. Had it since 98 with 22K mi. 85K now. Only trouble has been CPS, GPs and the relay. I wish I'd known about this site before I bought some Banks junk. Got rid of most of it but their hottest chip works great. I got some nice dyno nos posted in my sig. Hope to get II's, TW, IC, 17* and better fuel some day but until I have problems I'll leave it as is for now. Sideswiped a running doe at the rear of the cab last April in UT. She still looks brand new after fixing. She sleeps in the garage most of the time and tows my Bronco on a trailer at 85 all day if I want her to. Last trip to Phoenix after Christmas she got 18mpg empty in cold weather. Blew the RR tire in Tucson and will be replacing the whole set next weekend. Best vehicle I've ever owned!
