 Subject: Killer New Hood and "final" mods pics
IP: Logged
Message:
Well I have been doing so many mods to my truck over the past year or so that i have been holding off to post pics of it for that "one last mod thats on its way". I think i am done doing mods for now... until i find something else to add. The latest mods are the Keystone hood and painting out the front bumper. I am planning to rebuild the rear suspension next and maybe at a roll pan but i am not sure. I park a lot on San Francisco and you need a bumper there to guard when people push your vehicle to make a parking space bigger. Pisses me off but it happens
Check them out and let me know what you think.

Thanks Nice, It has a 3.9 V6 with a K&N air filter. Not much done under the hood. It goes fast enough to get me in trouble as is. LOL
I might add a converter kit to make the ram air hood blow into the engine rather than just into the engine bay at some point.

What's really cool is the exhaust going through the factory
bumper. I've never seen anyone do that before but it makes
more sense then having the pipes underneath the bumper.

Marlow,
I forget the name of the Billet grill but i got it on ebay about 2 years ago for about $120.
Mark, yeah the exhaust really is custom, i have not seen that in any vehicle before. :)

One more question....Is that the insert type grille held by zip-ties of is it a permanent mod to the grille? Just want to know what to look for.
Thanks

Damn, marlow you figured out my secret to my good looking auto body work, ZIP TIES! Lol
The Grill is held on with zip ties as well as half the rest of the truck. My buddy at the Auto shop i go to calls me the Ziptie King. I am looking at getting one of those grills like you see on a GMC Yukon that is all silver with drilled hole pattern on it. I have not found one that i like yet though.

Onefast02, nothing is photoshopped in those pictures except my license plate, you wouldn't want to run it anyhow, too many parking tickets.
The exhaust is custom run thru the rear bumper and i have never seen it on any other vehicle other than mine. Definately is unique, i oughta get a copyright on the design huh?
Too high, The drop is 3 in the front and 4 in the back plus a little lower with smaller tires etc. its about as low as i would ever want for a daily driver, i have to becareful for speed bumps and steep driveways.
more pics of the exhaust for onefast02

If anyone is looking for a grill like his, I have one for the bottom valance . It mounts in front of the three dividers and it is secured with nuts and bolts, not zip ties. It has brackets that slip around the dividers .it works great! Still pretty new .It was only on for 50 miles if that .$50 shipped .

Zipties worked just fine on mine, you would never even know they were there unless you looked at it from a few inches away. Plus they were free from my work, lol

loscosso I attached by billet with zip ties two much easier then trying to figure out mounting brackets. lol
glad someone else asked about the exhaust I was about too.
also what brand of angel eyes and were there any special tricks needed to install them, bracket cutting of bumper etc. and do they sit flush?
