Yep the Yellow SRT4 is mine. Red one is my brothers. It's my DD.

I have always liked those things, is yours stock?

 

[BroncoIIer]

As far as boost level yes, but I have done alot of cosmetic work. I have a 3in turbo back exhaust on it, Injen short ram intake, TurboXS Rofl blow off valve, and Intercooler hard pipes. Other than that it is stock performance wise. Will run about a 13.00 in the quarter mile.

Still a pretty quick car, I have always liked them, but I would get into trouble if I owned one.

 

[BroncoIIer]

Yeah it is, in the five years I have owned it I have received one ticket. It was a 75 in a 40 and $400. I haven't done it since...

I like your build.
Especially your coil towers. I was one of those guys that spent a few hours getting C-Channel to work haha. I also like your arm mounts. I have about $20 in my arm setup. I just made something work. It works ok, but I need to upgrade it. Were you able to buy that one half of the Axle C-Clamps or did you make those?

 

[036speed]

Nevermind. I should have checked the James Duff website first haha. That is a nice setup/kit.

 

[BroncoIIer]

Thanks! The James Duff kit is pricey, but I think it will be well worth the money. I should get some work done in the next few weekends, and I'll post some pics up.

So I made some progress this past weekend. I mounted my electric fan and prepared my truck for the real work next weekend. (Rolled it on the driveway instead of the gravel extension.

Here are some pics of the fan. Its a Flex a Lite 40.

I'm lovin the new clearance I have in the engine bay. No more working around that damn fan.

I have ordered.
4 15" travel James Duff shocks
2 f250 upper shock mounts
2 Rear Cragar Center caps
1 Cragar Soft 8 (for my spare)
DOM & Steering components

All of this will be installed along with my drive shafts this weekend so check back for more pics!

I'm thinking about putting bed liner over the tan part of the two tone on my rig. The flares just seem to break up the paint scheme too much. I wanted to see what you guys thought about it.

If someone could photoshop that image for me, that would be awesome! I'm still on the fence on whether it would look good or not. Or even be worth the work/money.

 

[88_Eddie]

what about painting the flares to match the paint?

 

[4.0B2]

personally i'd cover the tan w/ something black.

That's more what I was thinking. Like some black bed liner. And possibly the flares also. I'm not a huge fan of the tan color.

of course i think it less lift... or bigger tires.
i'm kinda a low COG guy so... less lift and next size up tires.
