Showing it off--With Pics

Finally got every thing finished up on the truck ive been wanting to do.
Figured I'd post some pics up to show it off


I put some stacks on it. Tried to give them a hidden look from the front and sides. Its a 4inch down pipe to 5 inch stacks with a 6 1/2 opening on the stacks.





Heres a picture of the stacks from the back. I picked the stacks themselves up for 40 dollars each on sale. I was suprised that i only have about 600 dollars into everything for the exhaust system.



I put in all autometer gauges. trans, pyro, and boost with all led lighting and a turbo timer on the dash also.



Got the engine all cleaned up. And the water/meth plumbed into the intake. Still need a new fan shroud where the fan got my fingers though.





Got the compressor housing polished. Heat wrap on the exhast. And the water/meth tank mounted up.



I put in white face gauges with all leds. Its really bright but doesnt look like it in the picture



My dad put these wheels on the truck when he bought it in 92. I bought it 3 years ago and the clear coat was chunking off The wheels were in bad shape so i bead blasted them with polishing beads and sanded with 2000 grit for about 15 hours total on all wheels. Then i put some Mickey Thompson MXTs on it because I was looking for a good all terrain tire and was guarenteed these would get me 40k if i rotated them

You can take two autometer 2 gauge pods and chop one in half and overlap them to make a 3 pillar pod

I used Autometer gauge pods that were supposed to be direct fit for the truck. They were very close. I used a 2 gauge pod on the bottom and a 1 gauge pod on the top.

The wheels look great! I always wanted a set like that that I could paint to match my truck on the inside.
