Waiting on fuel rails, injectors, and pimp ecu. rear drive shaft is done waiting pick up..

Nice truck man i really like it.. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the chrome mirrors on the blue ranger? Ive seen some similar on the LMC Truck catalog but i just don't know if they are the same.

im not sure they were on it when i picked it up. no progress has really happened as of late minus getting parts gathered still waiting on the welding shop...

The first ranger is in limbo right really thinking in might strip and scrap it

i want to thank whom ever nominated me for stotm i just realize i won, i feel like i dont deserve it because the truck is still in the build stage.
i will get back on working on it now that the project at work is almost over and post some burn out vids when she is running.

well life has given me a little break so im slowing crunching away. all i know so far is i HATE wiring:bawling::icon_confused::bawling:

So far the passenger side turbo is all plumbed minus oil line im 2 90 degree boots from the driver side to be into the fmic. need to pick up a small 3in piping kit, fuel pressure gauge, and and and new things added to the list everyday. :annoyed:
All i want to do :3gears: :beer:


I was a little bored one day...

with that big inter cooler, I'd be afraid that the engine would run hot not getting enough air t0 the rad.

also are you going to be able to put the grill on ???
