Bravo sir. Bravo.

 

Some goodies showed up in the mail

color matched grill, weathertech floor mats and an aFe stage 2 intake


Also completed my retrofit. D2S 3.0 with bullet shroud

 

I got it back already. This happened at the beginning of the week. They only had it for a day. I ordered an trd exhaust and bed mat from them while I was there. I told them they need to take care of some of the bill since their tech almost destroyed my truck with 1,000 on it by not following the instruction. He agreed but didn't say an amount so well see what they pick up. I work at night and normal when I go home it's still dark outside so I would have never seen the pool of coolant on the ground. I would have just jumped in my truck and drove home and wondered why my engine overheated and blew up. I went outside at about 7pm to get something I forget in the car and saw it then. They would be spending a lot more $$$$ to fix it if that happened.

 

Truck looks sick man. That's sucks to hear about but at least it wasn't worse.

With aftermarket parts come lots of headaches.

How much were your mirrors?

 

Great build! Bumper/tires/rims look great. I imagine that is the ICON Progressive 3-Leaf? Did you remove the overload or leave it? How does it ride (too stiff or about right with the bumper)?

 

I left the overload spring in. It's a little stiff but not bad.

 

Installed the aFe intake today.

 

Over the last week I did a few things...

Installed a 20" double row light bar from www.okledlightbars.com
De-badged
Plasti-dipped the rear bumper until I get a plate bumper
Installed a TRD cat back exhaust
20% front window tint



switch for the led light bar

 

Did some audio upgrades this weekend

Pioneer AVH-X5600BHS
Pioneer GM-D8604 4ch 1200w Amplifier
Alpine Type-R 6.5 component speakers
Alpine Type-R 6.5 Coaxial speakers
Mr. Marv speaker adapters
NVX sound damping



Did the sound damping most of the way up on the inside of the doors and about half way up on the outer part of the doors.

 

It's getting pretty sad my completed list is larger than my want list now. I'm going to slow down a bit until black friday time frame.

 

Added some LED fog lights from www.sidetrackedoffroad.com

 

How do you like those alpine type r's?

 

They are nice. Obviously a huge improvement over the stock ones. I can only get the volume to 15 and thats plenty loud enough for me. It goes up to 40 . I need to tune my amp a little better though. To be honest this is my first time I've upgraded my audio equipment in a vehicle so I wasn't so sure what I was doing as far as tuning the amp.

 

Looks awesome!!!

May I ask,,,,,,,,,,What The Hell Do You Do For A Living????? I want to work where you do.

 

Just work for the Air Force. I got all my suspension parts and bumper from my 2010 i traded in. I bought it with the fox shocks, total chaos uca, shrockworks bumper and some other stuff. I paid $25k for it and 2 1/2 years later I put all the stock parts back on and traded it in for $24k! I only owed about $18k so I paid for the supercharger with that. I have also been selling the stock parts I've taken off the new truck to pay for mods. I'm about tapped out, believe me. I'm probably gonna do the 2.8 pulley, fuel pump kit and gauges and be done for a while. I'll probably buy some other things around black friday but things are going to start slowing down now.

 

Sweet build man... What are your thoughts on the aFe stage 2 intake paired with the supercharger? Any concerns about running to lean? Any warranty concers?

 

There is some fitment issues with it not sealing against the fender well. I guess its normal but seems to be a gripe with others as well. The TRD reflash is suppose to make it run super rich so I'm not to worried about it running lean. I should have gauges pretty soon though. I did actually take off the intake about 2 days after I put it on when the fan put a hole in the oil cooler line. I know it had nothing to do with what caused it but I didn't want them to see it and note it under their log. As with anything you put on aftermarket they have to prove it was the cause of the failure for them to deny a warranty claim.

 

That's cool. Our son came home from two tours with a pocket full of cash too.

And of course, "THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE".

I was just curious. I know how much it cost me to do my conversion. It adds up really quick.

Nice job Bud.

 

Wow, looks awesome!
