An update on my slow truck

[Snakestress]

So you would all be suprised that I have not modded my truck in almost 2 years (except for the Bassani headers I put in about 4 months ago). This is strange considering I was doing nothing but working on my truck for almost a year straight about 3 years ago. oke:

Anyway, I got a new job, and granted I am always out of town and I work too many hours, the pay is good and I get 3 days off. I realize she deserves some mods after years of patiently waiting and constantly having to deal with the humiliation of sporting the 13 second club sticker :lol1: (Ok, so I dont have one) So now my $$$ is most likely going to a built motor and some sort of semblance of a big ass forced induction system (im still pondering this)

For now, enjoy the pics of what I HAVE done so far.

My only gripe is the wheel caps and the stickers on the back window. Other than that, very awesome.

not liking the rims but good looking truck over all

 

[mcarbine]

I kinda like the red ring on the rims but like stated above I would go with black center caps. Good looking L (although I am biased on blacks )

+1! But good work so far, and can't wait to see the next mods.

 

[OH-MAN]

I can't believe you have not got a 13 sec sticker!

I will chastise the person responsible for this oversight.
Wait a min. It is me:idea:

How close to 12s are you?
I bet with a lower temp and some stickies on the back will do it.

I like the red stripe on the wheels. All black is good in direct sunlight but the tire blends into the wheel in shadows or lower light the stripe highlights it.
I will see if we have any stickies

Looks great Mai. I am also sorta not diggin' the red center caps or the stickers. But I like the trucks with a clean no sticker look, just my preference. Hope all has been good with you. I know you messaged me a while back, and sorry I did not have the time to get back to you. If you need any info let me know, you know I am always willing to help. FFS

Nice man and love the hood and not hating on the wheels just change the gps looks ugly and bulky try a full touhscreen 7inches like mine (my touchscreen LoL) eclipse 6620 looks great and matches ac nobs green. Perfect and nice truck just my 2cents!

I am proud to say that this truck has managed to stay way below budget, definitely spent less on it overall compared to what most people would think. Thanks to a lot of people on SVTP and AZLOC who give me such good deals. :rockon:

The Gaylord speedstur bedcover with the bedrug and the bedrug was $900. IMO that is a deal you will not come across often. Bought the headunit from some guy off another car forum for $400 brand new (~$550+ tax @ bestbuy).

I know the wheels are not for everyone. Its temporary though and will soon be replaced when the mods are done. The stickers are something i am not exactly 100% about either but it brings people to the local car sites and gets more participants to local car club/forums, so I am ok with it. To all the haters

OH-MAN: Hold those stickers, this baby is gonna go straight to 11's (yeah, i said that last time too lol). I ran at SIR in the summer a year or so ago on slicks 13.019 @ 108 IIRC. I know its gonna get there just need cooler weather. Maybe I will hit the track again in a few weeks.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. Stan, since you failed to reply to my PM, :kaboom:

Hoping to order one of these MMR babies soon and a Whipple if all goes as planned. There goes the bank account... Woooohoooo!!!!:banana::banana:

 

[INFAMOU$]

Looks good.. I would keep the center caps Black tho..

 

[Kryo-Genik]

Mai,

Forget the 13 second stickers and SIR. Bring your baby to Firebird or Speedworld in the cooler weather and 12's are guaranteed. Plus you will have a bunch of AZLOC members for support.:rockon:
