the slo-vo build thread...

4.0 the truck is really nice........ it's only flaw is that it's stock. tranny shifts perfect... 4wd works great, did a burnout and roasted both tires...... it's just "stock" if I wasn't in a hurry for a trail rig I'd spruce up the engine and sell it for a profit, but I'm not patient.

Lol, yeah, thats what I'm going to do with my neighbor's truck, buy it, sell it for 4 times what I paid for it....guy doesn't know what he's got or how to work on it, only needs an axleshaft!!

I'm not out to rook anyone, I'm happy with the truck, and the price.

The build got held off too long due to me selling my 1st b2 to help out my brother, so this is the new plan and we're not deviating. But for another 200 bucks and some time and effort, yeah....... it'd be worth some coin. But i only like buying trucks, I don't like selling them, it hurts my soul... and I've sold 3 in the last 2 weeks including my drag-camaro. I'm thinking i have enough money after budget in build to do nitrous, intercooler and turbo on one of my vehicles, just not sure which yet.

If your wanting to turbo the trail truck, let me know...

[Frank The Tank]

I may....... but it would be an extremely mild set-up. just 20-30hp enough for a lil extra pep and the B/A factor.

no turbo's and no nitrous on the trail rig lol.....things get complicated and get ****ed up...K.I.S.S.

^^^ +1 turbos get very complicated and nitrous is very sweet but bad things happen
