As for truck work I have put a new fuel tank in my truck, $60 bucks for anew one from lordco. Not to bad eh?

Wow thats cheap.

I bet for $ 2,500 you could have Midas install it....lol


Sorry had to take the dig.

to get the most out of the turbo sound it helps huge to do the Down Pipe as that is generally the most restrictive section, then 4" it back from there, delete the cat and keep the muffler for now, see how you like it, should give you a good throaty sound and you will here that turbo whine! also doing your intake will pick it up a bit, up-graded intakes tend to whistle and really dosent every motor need a bit more air lol!

for april

f350 - triple shock mounts on the front
- new dual mount for the rear
- new hangers in the front (beefier)
- paint on the box (scratched to hell)
- new front and rear bumpers

Explorer (i hope)
- 8-10" lift
- 35's or 37's depending on lift
- Stereo in truck needs help
- custom bumpers
- triple shocks front and rear

oh my i have alot of late nights in store. need to get these ready for may long mudding

SCTx3. No bigger turbo, no bigger injectors. Still running stock head bolts. Don't wanna be doing studs any time soon.

There are two things standing in the way of my wanted mods. One is money the other is wife.
