Thanks!

The wall on the lake looks a lot different now. We ended up hauling in 180 tons of sand onto the beach so the wall looks half the size. It will work its way down eventually. I just hate when people have a beach and you dig your feet in and hit clay in 4 inches.

Put a FPE 68mm Cheetah on my truck along with a 3" stainless downpipe and 4" front pipe. Then I have an electric 4" cutout that dumps under the truck when I want it to be loud, or else the exhaust runs through the stock muffler... I deleted the cat as well. Also installed a full EGR delete, high flow y bridge and 3" turbo piping to and from the intercooler.

My wheels are backordered until September at least. It's a bummer.

Looks real good, those rocks are tight.

How long have you have the shocks and how bad money wise(ballparkish)? I think my truck could use some like that...

Thanks! I spent a little more time than I normally do on the gaps considering what we were paid to do it.

As for the shocks I picked them up used and freshly rebuilt with new stickers for 400 bucks shipped... they are more than double that brand new, the dual hoops they attach to up top actually cost more, and you need the upper control arms too. If you bought everything brand new it would be about 2k but I had the UCA's from when I put the lift on so I'm into it $850 between the shocks and dual shock hoops.

I think it will just look cool when I finally get my wheels back. I know my truck isn't the most "professional" work truck but it's my personal vehicle and also my hobby so I don't really care. I don't think it's too over the top either IMO

Last video I took:

I have to do head studs first, 04 350 6.0 I know, I know. But would like a little better ride.

What happened with your wheels? You had some nice ones? How long did that plasti-dip last when you tried it?

Those poor 6.0's. At least most mechanics are good at doing them now

I've plasti-dipped 4 sets of wheels now and they all look as good as they did the day I sprayed them. Just make sure you do at least 5 thick coats.

I had 22x10.5 BMF Novakanes but the chrome went bad so I sent them back.

I am getting 22x10.5 BMF Rehab pictured below as a replacement... I just don't know when I am getting them. Except the ones pictured below are only 20's



What it looked like with nice wheels on it

Those mechanics are sooo good at them now it's no big deal... So far I love it, it just wants to go but need to get stuff bulletproof before I get crazy with it. I like it better than the Lightning I had. I'll throw a picture up in my thread.

I like those Rehabs. Are those loud? I have the Terra Grapplers and am liking them so far, how about winter time? It must be painful to roll with inadequate wheel setup, especially in the summer. I'm torn on 22's, I like 20's on trucks but a lot of 22's just look too pharmacist...
