Inferno Thread

I had just climbed about 600 feet at 65 on a steep incline. Finished the drive running 65 mph at 18.5.

 

I normally get trash mpg since I dont drive very far, maybe 2-3 miles at a time, all stop lights.

 

Fortunately in town there are some well timed lights. And the town isn't a megalopolis, so traffic isn't usually too bad. I do a lot of highway driving.

 

I've got 37k less than you on my 16. And about an mpg less lol. Also glad we haven't had a lotta days with that heat.
Hoping to get over 100k...eventually.

 

That's the tank average. 18.5 that day.

 

Stop you're making it worse!

 

Added some Meso. The chrome on the mirror was sticking out like a sore thumb after the wheels went on. I did the switch back with amber DRL's. Last pic is from an employee car show at work on "Family Day." Lost to a C8.

 

Your truck is looking nice.

 

Thanks. I'm pretty happy with it.

 

Almost twins?!

 

Great minds think alike!

 

Well I did something either really stupid or really awesome..... Im picking up some mcneil 3 inch front fenders on saturday, they are already inferno, Im going to order the bedsides to match this winter.
By spring time I will have the most bad ass wide body mall crawler in the state or a abomination. Though I think it should look good with my 2.5 inch lift (Just need to get new tires)

 

Right on

 

It looks like you were having a great time.

WooHoo!!! Can’t wait to see this bad ass mall crawler!

 

I just need to figure out a front bumper though. The fenders come with the "offroad bumper" end caps, so I cant use those with my stock bumper. I would have to get a full aftermarket bumper to use those caps, or I can try to order the right bumper caps from mcneil.

 

Since you're jumping in, go aftermarket. We have a few down here that have the fender mods and they look good. They are also hiding some long travel suspension. (Hint hint.)

 

I looked through a bunch of the aftermarket front bumpers, I just dont like most of them and I cant put my finger on why. I feel like most aftermarket bumpers just stick out too far in places. I blame this mostly on the fact that I dont want a metal bumper for the protection they provide, but rather for the style, so a thinner, more tucked in bumper is what I want.

 

Something like the SSO slim line might be p your alley then. I really like mine, but I get it off road and like the extra protection. And the old school look of the Baja bar.

Thats the kind of one I do like, though the fender parts are designed for the full on bumper that cuts out everything below the headlights.
