looking good,
I noticed in your signature you are running a 60mm Gillett compressor wheel. is that the H1c upgrade? and how do you like it?
I have been eyeballing the 60MM upgrade with maybe a 14cm turbine housing. Thanks Mark,

 

I looked around for a while and checked prices with 4wheel parts, they suck!!
they wanted $680 + shipping $150. so i checked with JC Whitney and they carry Skyjacker and they have free shipping and thru in a promotion code discount $520 to my door.

 

I might just have to get that haha

Had a great long weekend away from the farm, me and the little woman went to a 3 day bluegrass fest in Owensboro KY, ( ROMP) river of music party, saw 18 bands including Ricky Skaggs, Old Crow, Sara Jarosz, Polky Lafarge, Sam Bush, Del McCoury, Doyle Lawson...and on and on, if you know bluegrass you know these names, it was awesome...we have been 3 years now......anyway ...enough of that...

I managed to pull down 12.5 mpg in the old girl with the behemoth loaded in it on all 2 lane and country roads...not bad when our new shop truck ( 2013 F550 diesel flat bed ( 9,840 lbs ) gets 12 empty on the interstate.

 

Installed a Mishimoto aluminum radiator.

 

Put in some fat mat sound deadener (80 mil) and was surprised that it didn't do a better job. Still have to do the doors...guess it will be on to applying another layer down the road!

 

I cut an even bigger hole in my trans tunnel to accommodate my reworked ORD twin stick kit. I had to straighten the shifter sticks so that the shifter boot aren't on top of each other. I also cut the trans tunnel out of a jy RC and welded the stock transfer case shifter hole shut. Then I cut holes for my NV4500 shifter and twin sticks and trimmed it to fit my trans tunnel. It's not done yet but the hard part is.

 

Are you going to use the boot that came in the kit? I tried one like that on my jeep but the pivot is too far from the floor. I ended up making one out of Marine vinyl but it didn't hold up as long as I hoped it would. The next one will be leather. Looks like I need to get some leather needles for my Big azz sewing machine.

 

I wrestled this into the shop..... a 95 Dana 80 for the 93 W250. The plan is the mount the whole thing on the 93 frame.... maybe with some hanger lift.

 

sounds like a good plan.

 

So you are going to make new brackets to hold the wider [3 inch] 2nd gen springs?

 

I want to use the 2nd gen hangers too.

 

Been a Bluegrass nut for decades. Love these festivals! If you get further west the Targhee, Rocky Grass, Telluride, etc. are always a good mellow time
