I see that maybe there is a triangulated 4 link added?
And I am sure that you put those twisted spline axles back in. :lol:
I see blue dots in the taillights.

Nic, that was on Wednesday night a few weeks back. Fridays are crazy busy. Wednesday was great to actually make some runs and get to play around. JC came to hang out and got to take him for a 1000' rip even.

Good eye on everything Kevin. Actually the blue dots have always been there though and that is the same ladder bar setup I have always had. Twisted spline will become a novelty piece on a future project though. What I am doing is collecting pieces to build a ram air intake. My underhood temps are killing me and I am pretty excited about how its going to work. Using a 70s van spoiler that I will mount to the front bumper and use the light cutouts on it to run 4" ducted hose to a sealed air cleaner. Should also help create less drag under her. This truck is going to run 11s if it kills me. I ran a 12.01 a few weeks back with bad air. Getting closer at least.

That's way cool Mark! Makes me want to make a trip north some Wednesday or Friday... :)

I've been pretty quiet on the truck front for a while now, but I seem to have been bitten again as I'm in the middle of selling my old wheels/tires and re-shoeing the old girl with some new shiny bits. I'll post pics when it's done.

Cheers,
Dion

11s would be very impressive with your truck. 12s aren't too shabby. Keep up the good work!

It's not about twistin' axles, it's not about being slow either. You just gotta find that balance...
