Just washed the truck for the first time since september, Truck is finally running right, i need to get some videos! I had a little mishap that put me in the ER last night, and i am on hydrocodone now so i can't (legally) drive right now or else i would have some videos.. So until then i figured i'd share some pictures.. Nothing too much new here, most of the new is under the hood
I am getting some new stuff soon and will take pics, and working on some overbuilt, home made traction bars, then i can actually go more than 1/2 throttle without bouncing stuff around everywhere

Well, nothing i really "did".. Some of you might remember back in september 08 over my birthday i was in the hospital, had surgery on my knee to take out the worst variety of staph infection, MRSA. Well that stuff stays with me for life now, and i had an outbreak on my hip, decided to go in before it got too out of control, and i didnt need surgery this time. They just cut me open cut and squeezed out the bad stuff and sent me on my way

Some of you will be relieved to know that the stack is coming off as well, as soon as i can sell it, and the clamp. Im going back to a regular exhaust, 5" with a nice tip, nothing like a goofy 8" tip, or even dual 8" goofy tips...

I stepped outside the box (well broke it lol) under the hood.
It's just too loud with the headers and no muffler, and its a pain in the ***. The bed is coated with soot all the time, (none of you have a clue how smoky this setup is in the mid-upper tunes !!!) and it gets soot particles all over the ceiling of the shop, the ceiling is gray now, becuase of me *oops*, and when you start the truck with a door open the soot particles go in the cab, stain the seats and the clothing of whoever sits on them, and it's just overall time to go back to something a little more civil. I also want to kinda go with a more of a sleeper look, because every diesel guy can put on a 6" tip
Edit- Backspacing is like -18mm, i believe. Does NOT rub the springs at all.
