OL has a hemi, sorry boys...

I did the pipes a while back, now the CAI... I think that it looks pretty sharp.

Next is going to be an electric fan, maybe some underdives if I can find them.





Pipes...










Nothin special... just think that it's cool to have an OL that lets me have a little fun!

That's cool that she likes her ride tricked out too!

I'd trick my OL's ride out, but she has an Equinox

Throw a supercharger on that Hemi...

and slam the suspension down in the dirt

Are you running straight pipes or a muffler. The first thing I did to my wifes hemi charger is have the muffler replaced with 40 series flowmasters and the resonators removed. I was worried that she wouldn't like the noise but that has become one of her favorite things. It sounds really nice aroung 4500 RPMs.

Yeah, definately give Lary a call. He keeps this one guys card on file and will help cover some of your..........oh wait...

Looks awesome Mark. Paint or powdercoat? I saw that truck in J'ville and I love the color. Watch out when/if you do the underdrives as I have seen some charging issues with the HEMI's that have them.

What's an Equinox? No super, or lower suspension. Thanks, tho! (my ol don't need no dang supercharger...)

Whatever, punk! I spot her a 2 truck lead, and I still pass her like she's standing still... That's really funny about bombing your OL's truck!

I am a very lucky man... she's good lookin, too... check my photo acct here...

Straight pipes and the cats. She loves it... last hemi we had, I had 2.25 inch pipe, and 3" tips, this time it's 2.5 and 3.5 tips. That vid don't do the sound justice...

Paint... got it from 3rd strike performance. They paint to match with the dodge paint codes. I like the color too, but it was the second choice... the first was the electric blue... I looked all the way to the mississippi, and from Fl to maine.... no love... I have not even seen any underdrives yet... I ain't looked that hard yet. Bombs for my truck first!

I saw the family pics you posted. You all look good, very nice family photo's.

Heck your wife even looks like Faith Hill.


One of the guy's I work with owns a "custom" powder coating shop. He just does not advertise, very, very nice work. Food for thought maybe?
