Nice pics, you're running a 4.0 right?

 

[RaceRanger97]

Thanks, yeah it's a 4.0

Here are a few other pics I took before stripping the front down for maintanance and paint.

What camera are you using? Are you HDRing those photos?

 

[RaceRanger97]

Idk, for the photos above I just used my Gf's little digital camera then did a few minor adjustments to the contrast on the comp. Most my action shots were taken by a friends nice Olympus with some editing as well.

Sold my rear Sway Aways tonight, were only listed for a few hrs before they went. Trying to buy some 3.0 18" SAW tripple bypasses but the guy won't answere his phone lol.

Did you push your front axles a little forward, or did you leave the wheelbase roughly stock?

 

[RaceRanger97]

Yeah I think it ended up being like an 1-1/2 pushed forward..Not much

Do you have any closer up shots of how you mounted them to the frame?

Just out of curiosity, do fiberglass bedsides also attach to a bed, or are they only able to be hung with a bed cage?

I managed to get my Edge hood, and I'm about $20 away from having my front fenders for the truck. I'm debating putting on fiberglass rears to match, but I need the functionality of a bed with my truck since there's clearly no hardcore jumping in NY. Looks from the pictures that it might be a PITA to mount them to a bed.

As for cost, it might actually save me money since I am replacing the bed to have bedsides that match the '01 front styling. If I put on fiberglass sides I can just keep my internal bed structure and throw out the '93 outters.

You can mount them to the bed, its not very hard either. Drill out all the spot welds to remove the skin of your bed, then bolt on the fiberglass sides. You will also need to make mounts to support the bedsides on each side of the wheel well.

It sounds pretty mean right now with only the headers and Y pipe. I tried to do a sound clip but my Go Pro didnt pick up the sound vey well. May try anothe cam before finishing the exhaust.
