lol that I'm discussing pricing on both items as we speak. If I hear back from the Trooper guy and he accepts my offer I won't be buying these yet but if he doesn't, they will be on there way shortly

Ahh I see. It's nice to have a back up plan when money is burning a hole in your pocket. :D
hahaha this is true. Can't wait to get everything set up though, gonna take awhile gathering all the little bits/pieces. Gotta get me some new injectors, a Denso Supra TT fuel pump, the rest of the piping (luckily if I get this intercooler it has all the cold side piping which will be awesome!), oil lines, oil pump, just gonna keep adding up haha
HAHA good to see you're taking your sweet time with it! Any news on the Troop?
Well once I make a few more purchases it'll probably start to slow down until I get my car fund back up lol. No word on the troop, I'm figuring he's not gonna take my offer and I'm not paying more than $750 for something that doesn't at least run a little unless it's a classic.
But it IS a classic, Dog! (Meant to be read in a Randy Jackson voice)
Lol you know what I mean!! I like it but would rather spend it on my turbo stuff for anythng over 750
Maybe you should get this instead: Heehee
I thought about lifting it but it's 2wd. There is this thought still running in my head though:

But the intercooler wouldn't be in a prime spot lol
I gotta bit of man love goin on here... BUWAHAHAHA!
Sick truck! It would look better with Denali Quadrasteer bed sides on it instead of those IMO.
I don't think they would look that bad if you took the side molding off the doors to make it all flow better, but ya the quad steer bedsides would look cleaner. I think it's a sweet looking truck and I've been thinking about building mine similar but not sure if I want to or not.
Here's one from Dixon Brothers with there long travel suspension kit:

Still looks slow.
Lookin faster now!
Nah, that crap aint' gonna help none. It's cursed with government motor engineering!
Your SVO is still slower than an LS1 :)
You wish!
Then make-a-wish granted me one :)
Haha!
John's SVO is still faster than anything I own at the moment lol. We'll see how she runs with the new turbo stuff, my eventual goal is 11.90's in the 1/4 but a more realistic goal is 12.50's, that's still moving for an extended cab fullsize pickup. I figure if it can hit 12's and still be able to pull a car trailer and haul my kids around, I've got an awesome multi-use vehicle lol. I could make it faster than that and go "crazy" with it but I'm wanting to keep it "budget" friendly and 100% reliable/comfortable from day-to-day
That's a good plan, as my SVO won't carry more than 2 people, and I don't trust it beyond a 20 mile distance from the house LOL!
I wish I could have gotten that lightning from FS that was listed a few weeks ago, but the wife wants silly things like a house and groceries instead of me having an awesome race truck!
damn wives and there needs, geez. They need to get their priorities straight!!!!
Thanks man, I want this truck to be 100% useful as a truck so I've tried to plan some of my mods out accordingly. Like I'm gonna run a single Denso in-tank Supra TT pump, be plenty for my goals and super reliable and less hassle to deal with like dual pumps, an intercooler that will fit behind the front bumper and not block airflow to the radiator and external trans cooler, even thinking about keeping my clutch fan. Ya it'll rob some power but the right e-fan setup to keep it cool is $$$$ and the LS1 fan swap that everyone does still allows the AC to warm up in traffic because it doesn't cover enough of the radiator. Ya that lightning would have been sweet but then you'd still have a 2 seater (3 at best) truck. I'd save up and look around for a Harley Edition, I told myself if I didn't get a GM truck that I REALLY liked I would keep my eye out for one of the early HD trucks. Lightning with more room :) Actually saw one today at my buddies shop, hearing that (h)eaton whine when he took off always makes me grin.
I've looked at those too, but everyone wants a TON of money if it's not partially trashed or not running. They seem to be holding value very well, and sellers know it!
Heehee, and here I thought I would have enjoyed the married life! HAHA, then again, I know a guy who is on his way to an awesome race truck and has a wife with a boob job! Damn it! Some guys have all the luck!
Ya that's what I was seeing when I was looking at them. I did find some around 10K in decent shape at times, had to drive far though to take a look at themQuote:

In the front pic of the chrome bumper, your reflection looks like ur out there in some bikini briefs taking those pics!
akward....
Nah I was naked and hairy lol. I was wearing mesh gym shorts
Here they are all mocked up:

So I took some "spare" parts I had lying around, including Brandon's old Magnaflow and made a side exit exhaust for her. I had the stock exhaust tips plus some piping left over my my Z28 that happened to fit about perfect (the one tip had a 90 degree bend that happened to be the perfect length to the muffler underneath lol). I extended the pipe off the other tip and cut a hole in the pipe off the muffler to make both tips functional. It's not PERFECT but it works and sounds good. The angle on the bed (which surprisingly isn't straight, it curves down near the tire) throws off the look of the tips in the pic. They are pretty sraight

The one pipe even had the factory exhaust hanger bracket in the right place. i took the factory piece off my stock exhaust and welded it to the frame above the pipes and used the stock rubber hanger. Worked out pretty well.
kewl... I need to buy a welder :laughb:
I'd break so much of my own stuff it wouldn't be funny.
hahaha. I need to buy one too. I've got my buddies Lincoln at my house for a bit so I've been thinking up projects to use it for lol. I had a nice Miller our in San Diego but I sold it. I'm gonna be making another set of diff brackets and weld up my rear bumper tomorrow most likely. I don't know what the hell was up with the "outlet" on the muffler, all the other piping (including inlet) welded pretty smooth, but that piece was real blotchy. Had a hard time keeping a solid weld, i think i adjusted line speeds and temps like 50 times trying to get a decent bead going.
yeah whatever stop acting like you're cool
Stop acting like your building a Blazer :)
BUWAHAHAHA! U know I'm not! That's why I am trying to recruit you!
Just move a little closer :bwgy:
