You like that diff cover? Someone offered me one for a hundred bucks, new. Wondering if it's worth it? Nice truck btw. I love that blue.
thanks.
yeah i like it.. but if you get it.. dont use the bolts they provide.. im the 2nd person that i know of who had problems with them.. a little too short IIRC.. go to lowes and get longer ones.
a week and a half to the big show.. here's my display board!

the reinstall of all my parts should start this week.. I got 3 months until the first major show of 2014..
Wow the color matching continues. Looks better all the time. Any chance on getting it to the track or dyno any time soon. Would really like to know some legit numbers. I would imagine with the big cubes awd and procharger you got to be pretty damn strong.
there is no dyno near me within 100 miles that can handle the truck AWD chassis.. and before anyone suggests, im not removing the front driveshaft to get it dyno'd.
as far as the track.. last time it ran, I got a 13.1 on the 1/4
Was it boosted at that point?Quote:

Wait. It doesn't run for shit. And you're powdercoating the sway bars?
it runs fine.. just needs some fine tuning, which ill get to.. wasn't built to be the fastest on the planet.. twas never the goal.. im coating these parts for my own reasons sir..
it only went into limp mode that one time when I was at the track, other than that its been fine.
then again.. I don't street race it, so it'll get lined out the next time im at the track..
I need to get my shit powder coated, looks like crap
I got my new calipers today as well

my new rotors showed up today!
zinc coated for more protection up here in the north!

more colour matching going on.. this is just a test fit of the spindles, brake shield , rotor and a caliper.
