For those who are interested, here are some new pics of my truck. It's gone a big change in its appearance from last year, lots of chrome and shiney stuff, removed some of it in favor of the monochrome look. Also some things i've added since the cracked head and valve seat issue in may-
-lowered from leveling springs/4" block to stock/addaleaf and 2" blocks
-lots of window tint
-AirdogII-165
-Single stage nitrous (to be hooked up)
-removed 7" miter in favor of 5" exhaust with powdercoated black 6" tip
-Removed Stealth dual HPOP in favor of Swamps GenIII HPOS
-Home made traction bar setup
-Ujoint scattershields along with other various racing mods
-Removed Detroit locker in favor of Truetrac, Mag-hytec pan
-Smoked cab lights in favor of clear
-05 Ford OEM mirrors with recon Smoked signals

I am sure there are more however here is a picture of last April



now:

 

I like the new look better. I was never a fan of too much chrome on these. The darker color seems to work better with your truck. Those are probably the longest traction bars I've seen. Used to just seeing them on the cars.

 

Looks very good Kris.

 

Thanks. The tubes themselves were 81" before i welded the threaded ends on them, or installed the johnny joints. They are probably 7' total. They work good, but had to be that long to keep the same angle as the driveshaft

 

I like the new look also Kris, what size wheel and tire did you go with?

 

305/55r20 cooper zeon ltz around 20x9 XD spy

 

That sure looks nice!!

 

That is one hot looking truck.. Nice.

 

Nice looking truck.

 

Looks good, Kris. More stealth looking. Other than the traction bars, it looks more sleeper. Once you hammer down, they would find out otherwise.
I like it!

 

I'm with Roland completely. I've always had high esteem for the stealth/sleeper approach... maybe it's just my sneaky side coming out.

 

Looks good Chris needs another leveling something in the front it looks a little nosed down with the addaleaf other then that it looks good. Ever thought about painting the doors and mirror to match?

I figured you had done something like that since Kenny had done his in a similar fashion

 

That looks sweeeet!

 

Chris, That looks awsome.

Yep, then that definitely makes them the longest ones I've seen. Hope you take lots of pictures of all this stuff and keep them. I remember working on cars and trucks with my buddies when I was your age and had a lot of fun doing it. Lots of good memories. Too bad I don't have any pictures of that stuff.

Of course we worked on gassers and with no computers so chips and tuners weren't an option. We had to do old fashioned motor stuff, which is why I like following your threads.

Don't be a stranger. With all you've been through, you've got a wealth of knowledge to share.
