GunRunner Build Thread

Here is my 2005 GunRunner V8. I bought it back in April 2017 with 137K miles on it and with a rebuilt title for around 7K. The reason for rebuild was a small front end collision that only required right fender, headlight, front bumper cover, and hood replacement. I don't plan on ever reselling the vehicle, so I'm fine with the rebuilt title.

Here is my running list of upgrades/repairs that I have done on it. It is a work in progress and I still have a lot more I want to do before I'll be completely happy with the build. I have done the work for all of the repairs, and mods on my own, so if anyone has questions feel free to comment or PM me!

Suspension/Steering:
  • *Conversion from XREAS* 3" Suspension Lift
  • Bilstein 6112 Set to 3" On Front
  • Bilstein 5160 With Remote Reservoir On Rear
  • Icon UCA's With Delta Joints
  • Sway Bar Relocation Brackets
  • *Coversion From RAS* ARB Medium 2" Coil Springs

Wheels/Tires/Brakes:
  • Stock 17" Wheels For Now... New Wheels TBD
  • BFG K02's 265/70/17 For Now...
  • 1.5" Wheel Spacers All Around
  • Goodridge Braided Stainless Brake Lines All Around (x6 lines)

Armor:
  • None yet, although I have the fab work lined up for a front bumper, rear bumper, and sliders... coming April 2018.

Body:
  • None yet, once I have the body armor I plan to paint the armor, rocker panels, and fender flares with black Monsta Liner/Raptor Liner.

Audio:
  • Rockford Fosgate Speakers
  • Joying Android Head Unit w/PAC TY11 JBL/SWC Interface

Lighting:
  • LED Interior Conversion
  • LED Bulb Tail Light Conversion
  • Other Lights TBD

Accessories:
  • Volant CAI (Sounds great with the V8)
  • Chinese Toyota Knock Off - All In One Flip Key (Love it!)

Maintenance:
  • All Fluids Replaced/Flushed
  • NGD Laser Iridium Spark Plugs
  • New OEM Fuel Injectors
  • New Fuel Pump
  • New EVAP Hoses/Components

Issues I Was/Have Been Fighting For Months:
  • Extremely long cranking time on cold starts. The solution (after trying lots of other stuff) was replacing the fuel injectors. One had a bad seal, and some may have been leaky. It has started up fast, and great since!
  • Codes P0441, P0456, P0455 (All Evap related). I am just down to code P0456 now, which is "Very Small Leak". So far to fix this I have replaced the gas cap, evap lines, VSV, and really just need to do a smog test now to find the leak... if it is visible. Any tips would be appreciated!
