AriZonaD54's SPBlack Build...

HAHA stayed tuned...I get it, good one!

 

I was bored and had to kill an hour before a City Council hearing earlier this evening. Took this shot with my camera phone;

 

Love your truck brother!

 

are those 295's? they look tiny...... lol jk dude! truck looks great as always.

 

Nice looking truck Andy! Stealing some great ideas from you.

I will be putting 295's on my truck as well.

 

Welp... without paying much attention to it, the OME Dakar 2.75" rear leaf springs arrived at my door step!! I will be selling my All-Pro 1.5" leaf springs very shortly. $200 takes them.

 

wow you really went all out didn't you Andy...why haven't you done the AP long travel kit yet?

 

Looking and sounding great, Andy! Keep up the good work.

 

The girlfriend drives it too so I need to keep the height manageable. If I went with AP LT, then I would want 35's and she would have more difficulty getting in and out. And then, I would hear about it. No me gusta

 

Oh I got you, well that make sense. I want it more for the possible articulattion rather than the bigger tire size but a bigger tire would be nice. I need to pay off my truck first though.

 

Dakar leaf springs are going on today. I have a construction meeting nearly all day... and Im so anxious to pick-up the truck! AGH!

 

Welp... here's a few photos of items that arrived/ finished today;

I had Custom Thermal Coating re-finish the TRD tip and XYZ length of pipe black so that it matches the truck. It came out fantastic! Very happy with the product, and it will hold it to the heat exhaled by the exhaust.




The 14" Vibrant Performance Resonator (2.5" In and Out) showed up earlier this afternoon - which is perfect as I can now have the resonator installed with the re-finished TRD tip at the same time this Saturday. By the way, this resonator is built SOLID.





Notice how my good camera is sitting in the background while I took this photo with my phone's camera... stupid me!

 

nice! how much did the thermal coating run you? and the resonator...... you need to post up a clip as soon as its installed.

 

true that.

 

I'll post photos tonight and a sound-clip tomorrow. But needless to say, I no longer have rasp! The resonator worked perfectly and the thermal coated black TRD tip looks FANTASTIC.

 

Pictures of the Resonator being installed/ welded right after the Y-pipe ends;






The thermal coated black TRD exhaust tip being welded back on! YAY!



A few pics of the altered TRD tip (it's already filthy);

 

$95, +$3 in sales tax... so $98. Expensive but fuck it. The thermal coating was done in 4 days.

 

Can't wait to hear the sound clip!

 

well it looks good on your truck for certain. now get that damn sound clip up..... did the resonator reduce noise volume overall or just deplete the rasp?

 

The cab is quieter but only under 3k rpms. Rolling speed has a kick ass rumble to it. At WOT I hear my intake and Doug Thorley DTLT headers more so then the exhaust. I'll get the sound clip up ASAP
