No, but that looks much better than mine. Mine is still a bit sketchy. If you're in the market for one, get that one.

 

just jack the truck up and then use about a dozen zipties!

 

I saw this one in another thread, and thought it was badass. But the price is way more than a normal wall mounted one.

I’m getting this.
I’m glad I took a peek at this build thread.

 

I scooped up this Milwaukee combo this morning. Ive been eyeing that 3/8" right angle ratchet for a long time. Glad I could also get a 1/2" impact in the same kit.

anyone know what temp the stock thermostat is? Is it worth it to upgrade to a 170 degree one for stock motor?

@Gunshot-6A @AR15xAR10

 

Either 180 or 190 is stock.

Unless youre boosted, or otherwise running performace mods, I dont think its worth the hassle.

 

hmm ok. I will be installing the 3 degree cam gears, but that shouldnt matter right?

 

I am still gathering parts for engine/front end refresh. Ill order an OEM waterpump soon. Found one on ebay for $139 shipped. Seems like a decent deal. Need to check McGeorge too. I think I will replace the thermostat too, while I am in there. Also have new silicone radiator hoses. Still building up to get an AFE aluminum radiator, which is around $400.


Im being very productive at work tonight.

180

 

Not necessary. But with the extra weight you have, maybe its worth it. Depends on how much low speed stuff you do and how much load you put on the motor

 

I think I am going to replace the thermostat with stock. I plan on getting an AFE aluminum radiator, which will help with cooling Great White. Right now, shes super light. No tent or bed rack in the back. It feels/looks weird

 

Awe, man... They have this and the other combo (that I missed last year) on sale again! Damn it, here we go again

 

I had to sell my Dewalt 1/2" hog ring/high torque/2x 5ah batteries kit for this one. And I still want more tools!

 

Can barely see it my new antenna

 

@whatstcp got some parts today..

 

hold on a few.. I had to delay ordering the shocks until spring/early summer. Gotta save for my GFC and my wedding, and have some less stress during the holidays
