First bought the truck like this a month before i turned 16


Decided that i was going to lift it 2 or so inches and put 31s on it


Then the title of 4ced came alive and built this and dropped it in:



Blew that one up and wanted to sell it, but decided to keep it
Built the second turbo motor with a few upgrades


motor turned out to run pretty darn well so i started focusing on exterior, suspension/handling aspect of it at the end of winter and it blows up with pics here

Picked this up from kyle m. in october


got a hurst for 30 bucks


expo 8.8 for 200

Which turned into this


When the tear down began it looked like this



POR15 everywhere





Exhaust set up




And how it currently sits

i liked the stock deer hoofs too, but i needed at least 16s to clear the front big brake upgrade

i did rock it for a few days like this until the fr500s came in



It has not been on the dyno yet, i have plans to hit three dynos in the next few months and possibly the drag strip wednesday
