2006 Gordita Blanca V8 4x4 "Penelope" Build Thread

Couldn't sleep this morning so I started breaking stuff.

 

Not short enough, you need to cut it before that big oval can-like thing. It's a v8, let everyone know!

 

This will have to hold me over until I can get headers and a full exhaust.

 

@Crow_of_judgement I hate to say it, bit I think the exhaust sounded better pre-op. Oh well. Truck looks a little cleaner now and the tail pipe won't get crushed on a trail now

 

RPB!

 

Folger's fart can.

 

Sneak peak at the future

 

That's tight bro, much like.

 

Nah

 

That grill will look great on your truck

 

Looks s great

 

Thanks. Been at it since I got home from work. Time now to hop in to the pool then nap time til work again.

 

Did the following maintenance items at 210k miles

Drain n fill ATF, front and rear diff oil, transfer case oil, PCV, fuel injectors, timing belt n water pump, t-stat, spark plugs, tire rotation, lube grease fittings, air filter

 

Jon, any word back on your truck?

 

Yeah I took it back to the shop this morning and they fixed the alternator bolt that was fucked and added more coolant to the reservoir. They pulled my 100w Osram H4 bulbs and they had both ballooned lol. It looked a lot like this:

 

So is it running good now?

 

Kinda... I.still gotta replace.the headlights tomorrow and I noticed a.clicking at the rear.pass.wheel I think. It sounded too frequent to be a rock in the tire

 

Well it least the engine is back normal, the other is all minor.

 

Color matched the V8 grill emblem
