Default My sad truck....

well i flooded my motor out right after Ike....doing something like this




lol smart huh?




anyways i picked up an L92 from nineball




and a built stage 3 tranny from ACE with a 3200 stall




i wanted to keep my factory harness and computer (01 truck)

so i ditched the stock cam and picked up a small comp cam and a few other adapters from katech and got this converter box from lingenfelter that converts the 58thooth signal back to the older 24 signal for the reluctor wheel....

ii also got a 4 bolt nick williams throttle body

I think you could have left the "better" off... and just said ... "so the tire/wheels combo fit"

Pre-runner fenders... leave it low so you can really use that 125 shot

the front has a fabtech 7inch fabtech and the rear is stock.....


imma try and get the rest of the wheels mounted this week. the picture of the back is kinda misleading cuz the tire is about a foot away from the bedside....



whenever i get the cash im gonna order my long travel suspension so the front will be a little bit lower but everything fits cuz of the fiberglass fenders...



this pic is of 17's and 35s
