Deeezy's Locked Sport Grocery Getter Build

How do you like those Irok ND’s compared to the other tires you’ve ran on your truck?

 

They are a lot better off road than the Procomp tires I had. They are pretty loud on road as you would expect from Interco. Balancing was done with traditional wheel weights. I'm not sure how long they will last, but have been wearing good enough for me. The ND's work better in the mud than all the mud terrains I have had and also grip well on dry trails and ruts. I feel that it is a good compromise for those that want a good performing offroad radial tire without running bias ply. If you don't like loud tires, these aren't for you.

 

Thanks for that feedback. That’s very helpful. Nice custom work on your truck BTW. You’re a talented guy.

 

No problem, and I appreciate the kind words.

 

I finished up the bumper and got these center hoop side braces installed. My notcher cannot cut at that angle so I had to do it by hand. The template for the notch was made from a free notch template program online. Just input the parent and cut tube diameter, wall thickness, and angle of notch. It even gives you a picture of what the two tubes look like intersecting at your angle. The print out is full size and you print it out, cut with scissors, trace the cut on tube, and cut with your favorite angle grinder or tool. All template stuff done with my phone.

 

Looks awesome, love the subtle smashed door pic in the background

 

I meant to take out all of the lock and window roll up motor for spares and keep forgetting. I need to dump that thing, taking so much space and big time eye sore.

 

I received the HP Tuner device and flashed a couple of tunes. @JustDSM did all of the tuning. I had sent him a few datalogs for him to review the base tune and he further refined it and sent me a final tune which is very nice. He went above and beyond to help me with a custom NA tune.

The truck works amazing now. No throttle lag, able to pull smoothly from lower RPM's, and bit more get up and go at partial and wot. Smog pump and related parts will be deleted after I get the block off plates in the mail, (for offroad use only).





New OEM gaskets for the SAI block off plates.

 

Yours came with a usb?

 

Yes

 

Hmm not mine. I had the keychain, cord and the obd2 device. Oh well

 

Sweet build

 

That sucks, but for what it's worth, it's just a regular flash drive.

 

Thanks!

 

Makes more sense what the keychain was for at least.

 

I am going to pull my SAI parts maybe tomorrow night, after I receive the block off plates. Was there anything hard about removing it all?

 

I only pulled the unit on the wheel well with 3 10mm bolts. My blockoffs come tomorrow to pull the rest off

 

@deeezy pulling the rest went pretty easy. Driver side is a lot more cramped but i got it from above with a 1/4in ratchet and extension. The wrap around tube has a bracket on the backside but its easy to reach down behind the motor. I unbolted both tubes at the valves then the headers and pulled them off. The valves have 2 nuts on top and 1 bolt i accessed through the wheel well.

 

Awesome, I will be be doing this hopefully this afternoon.

Thanks!
