Roxspins Build Part III

I like the "evo" paint job your truck has on the front bumper, makes me want to try it. did you do it with vinyl or paint?

 

Easy and removable if need be...

 

Roxspin, you know I love your truck. Awesome build.

Couple of questions....did you use the X-Runner pulley set from NST? Were there any problems using this on a non-XR?

Have you done any weight reduction mods?

 

Reason I say that is because I have never heard of it as a X-Runner Pulley set. 4.0L is 4.0L from 2005 until at least 2011...

Yes I have NST Pulleys installed with no issues and no regrets...

Besides NST Pulleys, I Have done no reduction modifications...

 

Good looking out. Thanks brah!

 

How do you get it from not peeling off with the masking tape? Do you just peel the masking off while the plasti-dip is wet?

 

nice taco. where did you buy the thermostat housing? how much horsepower

 

+1

I found this out the hard way. But due to a collision, I had the whole front end replaced, plus added the new 2011 Grille. Read more how-to's on XRU, and will be repeating the process, as stated above.

 

Thermostat is a 180 deg therm. from APR. It comes with the APR X-1.

If Im lucky and my Tune is running solid I should be pushing 350 plus.

Still need a Dyno.

 

ok, but how durable is the plasti-dip on the front of your vehicle? i only ask this, because after dealing with it eventually peeling off my emblems, i got fed up with it and ended up taking all my emblems off and painting them with rustoleum. I just dont want to spend a lot of time masking, prepping, and getting it just right, only to have it peel a few days/weeks/months later.

 

You make a good point though...

 

Dyno it already dude!!!!

I believe that Gadget is working on making a cooler than factory T-stat, now. Since APR stopped.

Or you can always do my 160* T-stat mod. But then it will most likely run too cool for most peoples' taste.

 

me like ur truck.

 

Your truck and Torspd's rocks big time. Inspired me to go this route. I'm all about taking it to the next level and being different.

 

man i feel great that my truck had a influence on u.
i feel ya. gotta do something different with our trucks.
since its known to be lifted and go off roading.
its nice to pass up sports cars and see there face is priceless.

u planning to get street tires for ur truck?
once i changed up my wheel and tire setup.
made a world difference for performance.

 

I could not find a good street tire that would not drastically affect my gear ratio..

Soo, went with Khumo 275/55/18's, which = 29ish.. adding up to a 3.81'ish gear ratio rather than my previous 32" set up which yeilded me a 3.63' ish ratio..

What tires are you guys running? I have 18's....

 

my wheels and tires setup is:
20x9 +20 Work Wheels crag sk5 in metal buff
nitto invo 275/40/20

im the very 1st in the states to rock these work wheels.
work wheels usa is gonna be putting my truck on there website for these wheels.
once i have some good pics of my truck.

 

Mine are similar to his. Except my wheels are a hair wider. 20x9.5 with the same size tire as his.

I believe that General Tire has a few that would meet the requirements which you are looking for, size wise.

 

Get those pics done man.

 

hey get that pipe bomb y pipe so i can figure out what what my banks would sound like with DTLT headers haha
