Dave M's Big Green Build

Right on thanks for the info

 

I'm getting those in black on my truck. Black looks way better imo.

 

Great build! How much did the supercharger cost you (and install)? I bet it makes the truck absolutely awesome now...so envious!

 

Love the color matched. So what's next? Icon stage 4?

 

Thanks! It was definitely worth the investment, even more so when I pull my cars around again. I got the supercharger and fit kit from shoptrd.com, $37xx out the door. I had to shop around here in Seattle for the install. Some dealers quoted me $1700 for the install, some wouldn't even call me back! After some negotiating I finally found a dealer that did it for $800 (8 hours of labor). $45xx out the door total.

Thanks! I'm a big fan of color matched too. This weekend I'm installing my PLX DM-6 and DM-100 gauges w/wideband and boost. Also installing Grillcraft mx grills. Next is the de-chroming of the truck, I'm swapping the badges with black ones and going for a different rear bumper, either color matched or possibly the baja rear tube bumper. Lift will happen soon, I really want to go with 2.5 kings.

 

That's not a bad price at all...I've seen kits start at 6K in other vehicles (but I have no idea on install prices). Now I just need to convince the wife...hmmm

I look forward to seeing your updates as well as your impressions of each upgrade!

 

Well I got my PLX gauges a few days ago, and unfortunately they have to go back to PLX. Something went haywire with my DM-100 minutes after I fired it up. My DM-6 worked for a few minutes, and then the screen went out....hot diggity damn. I'm pretty frustrated, but such is life.

On a better note on the war against chrome, I did swap my old chrome girlfriend steps for the more sexy nfab girlfriend steps =)

 

So I added my black xrunner badges today. Still waiting for the PLX gauges to get fixed and sent back/replaced from the manufacturer.

I do like how they turned out.
