SUMO TNK : '08 DCSB TRD OR

Made the switch from OVT to a custom tune from OTT. Couldnt be happier so far.

 

Under the knife. Work currently in progress...

Rewiring underhood with 5-relay 10-fuse bussman rtmr fusebox.

Need this completed asap.

 

Custom mounted the 4-horn setup from American Auto Horns.

Your trucks going to look awesome when it's done, lots going on with that project. You have plans for what you're going to use with the RTMR? On mine I'm running my intercooler pump off of one relay and a bunch of my interior gauges off of the fused outputs, all ignition controlled so far.

Those horns look like they bring tha noise!

 

Thanks Russ! With 5-relayed fused leads and 5 fused leads, I thought I would have have some blank but I ended up using all of them. I have AMP powersteps, the ultimate h4 headline harness, some light bars, etc. For the blower +12v acc (ic pump) that normally goes to the EFI2 fuse, I'm running that back into in-cabin kickpanel fuseblock.

These horns *should* wake drivers up. I can't wait to beep and toot someone!

 

People might hit the roof if it's loud enough Hahaha.

I had a buddy back in the day that had an 80's 2wd GMC farm truck that he could pretty much backfire on demand. We had a lot of fun driving by pedestrians and scaring the crap out of them when the truck backfired like a gunshot, poor bastards.

 

Relocated my catch can to the driver side front wheelwell area. The original area had to be freed up for my Bussman tray.

 

Dropped off parts for paint and test fitted hood. Body guy gave it his thumbs up.

 

I finished my Gen2-->2.5 facelift yesterday. Just some small things left but 99.9% done. Hood wasn't as obtrusive as I thought and the fitment was 100% on point. More details to follow.

 

Part of that 0.1% that still needs to be done...is almost done.

Did a quick paint job on this 3D printing project that a friend is helping me with. Now its time to print a final product using petg filament.

YAHOO! I like it

Looks like a big laundry list to keep you busy for a while.

 

Looks damn good @SUMOTNK When are the 37's going on?

 

@nudavinci64
Soon, I hope before dry/wet rot sets in! Not sure what I'm waiting on besides having a solid backup plan and solving driveline vibes.

How fast are you able to R/R a rear diff/3rd member these days? I know going 37s will begat a truetrac with 4.56/4.88s.

 

Sub'd

Measure your driveline angles yet? Wonder if it's as easy as a carrier bearing drop or shims..


Sick build, lots of inspiration for me.

 

Well motivated and fluid drained 30-60 off and 30-60 min on. If we had a lift prob real fast.

 

I wish I had a lift.

 

haha yah me too. Shucking under the truck is rough all the time.

 

Thanks John! I gave a couple attempts with the angle finder and doing the math.....only to realize that I may have been doing the calculations wrong.

So I need another measurement hopefully with someone that knows what their doing, cuz I'm not able to figure it out.

 

I fall under the catagory of a parts hoarder with projects sitting on the shelf just waiting on time and motivation. And then i come to my senses and realize that I've used up the warranty period on an item and havent even installed it yet. And it lights a fire under my ass....

My list had a lot of low hanging fruit and a couple big ticket items which will hopefully be funded as I offload stuff.

...and yeah, i WISH i had a lift. And not one of them lil hinged ones... i want a full on 2 or 4 post because getting old sucks.
