Someone else's build. SC linked 4DR XLT

Well she is officially boosted headers on. 7th injector kit installed. Need to still do my gauges. Still need to get a external fuel pump(ordered) then throw her on the dyno. Also have to redo my freshly finished muffler/exhaust install trying to make it quieter.

 

Engine bay is about wrapped up for a good while. Had my old k&n intake so cut it up to make it fit and make the truck a little cleaner under the hood. Before and after



Cut a bunch to shorten the intake and rerouted it a little. Not the best but should be better than the stock worn out one

 

Small update. Dropped the truck off to mikey at fab lab to get some stuff done. Two derale tran coolers with fans,trans was definitely not happy before lol. Wanted cbr but with the space I had I couldn't. Got my interior lights mounted. Rear light whip(per wife gifted so threw it on there). Also got my radio and intercom mounted. Fixed/finished my exhaust with (2) 2.5" cats and 2.5" magnaflow muffler. On 4 of July ima finally wire everything in the truck. Then off to dirtskum to finish off the last of the thing on the interior I wanted

 

So rad​

 

Makin moves.

 

Wired up the truck finally. Just have to do the siren and GPS once it's installed. Switch pro is amazing FYI. Wired front light bar. Dual horns. Intercom radio. Interior and trunk lights. Dual tran fans. Light whip. Dirtskum at the end of the month to get the interior wrapped up then gauges for boost/afr/voltage gauge then dyno tune the truck and ready for the season
finally close to getting the truck where I wanted it.

 

Pretty much finished wiring up all I needed to.siren gps(not installed yet) and back up camera(its zip tied on to see where I want it or how I like it). Next up is dirtskum to work some magic and then install s/c gauges and a tune. Funny once I had the gps in the dash just to see how it would look there was a click that the truck is finally where I imagined it over a year ago. So needless to say I'm happy where it's at. Still more to come but more of a future plan to only make it better. And for people always asking this truck will probably never get a damn v8 swap. Don't want to.

 

dont swap it... keep it all clean.. i say that as im going to pull a LS this weekend hahaha

 

Haha that's the point. If it blows another 3.4 will go in. Yours is more of a race truck anyways. Mines an over kill of a adventure rig

 

3.4s are cheap and easy to change out. overkill might be an understatement haha overland boss

 

Nothing new really. Got some track boards(knock offs) and also ordered a higher amp alternator. Also took the truck out to the night race recently. Cruised around had fun. Tested everything I wired. No issues.

 

Finally was able to drop the truck off to dirtskum to clean up the interior look. Can't wait to have my vision of the interior to be complete. Also got my alternator finally.when I get the truck back will install and then tow the truck out to powderpuff race in Barstow. Should be a fun weekend. Just over a month to go.

 

Plan on getting the truck back the 26-27 hopefully from dirtskum.then rush and prep and added few small things to the truck so the wife can race powderpuff on November 2.(just for fun) Gonna be interesting but fun. Now the interior is to nice and regretting agreeing to allow my wife to race it





(Not my gun lol)

 

Thanks man

 

x2 all day, such a badass build

 

Well interior stuff is just about done. Just need to finish my boost and afr gauge. Interior came out exactly how I imagined




Few things for the race

 

I like all the sheet metal dash pieces

 

Race recap. I did one lap prerunning and then my wife did two. On race day was battling the motor getting hot few laps in. Removed the hood and ran fine. For my wife driving the truck only once before was impressed how well she handled the truck. Topped out at 68mph. Used the arm as a skid plate and did some damaged. But kept going and finished the race. Drove the truck around after and still fine just gotta change and get the truck working better. Already knew the truck was too soft upfront but we ran it anyways. It's a truck broke two belts due to rocks in the pulleys and making sharp edges. I was told steering was bent and the cross member as well. Was planning of TTBs but when she came back to pit found out it was just the front diff lol. So keeping a armsso gonna change up the lower part of the bumper. New lower arms. Fix diff and axle issue at this time. Few small things to go through since I'll probably tear the truck apart now(OCD about things not being how they should be) overall fun experience and wife wants her own truck

 

Sounds like a good time!

 

Those are some nice dingers on the LCA
