My boy is finally home... After being 11weeks away ( since July 17th ) his finally home and in the drive way. Problem is; I also picked up a beater while he was away... So this is how my driveway currently looks like:

And of course some obligatory porn shots of my Rig aka " Rocky !!!"

tuesday ... body lift comes off

Plans are:
- to dyno ( never dynoed with the new muffler )
- Y pipe or 4.56gears depending on my budget cuz my beater needs some loving too...

Yep, that is almost always the story. I've heard extremely experienced folks hydrolock following someone, but they were just 1 or 2 feet over....

On a related note. I was following somone on a mountain bike this weekend in a water crossing that I did earlier in the week with no issue. It was up to hist bottom bracket and I followed right behind.. I was 1 foot over and I ended up in water up to my waist. The reason was because someone had come through in a truck and created a huge rut under the water that was previously not there. There are just so many variables with what you can't see. And it can change from one day to the next.

That video was toying with an expensive bill. I have seen a jeep hydrolock going through a 2' deep stream because he went too fast and it pushed water pup over his hood...brand new jeep needed a new motor

Truck looks insane.

A leaf blower works great for drying satin finishes. If you use a towel it eventually polishes the finish. Here is my car with the satin finish.

I was advised by my buddy [MENTION=85422]FNWheels[/MENTION] to use these soap Chemical Guys Meticulous Matte Wash and Chemical Guys Meticulous Matte detailers...

Leaf blower huh... good idea

Chemical Guys Matte/Satin Wash

I saw you driving on the 605 N Tuesday morning as I was leaving town.
The truck looks good. You are taller in person than in pictures.
I was going to wave but was in a hurry to get through traffic. It was about 0930 if that was you I was passing on your left in a MGM..

How did the BL removal go? Any plans on future mods? (rack, bumpers, lights, etc...)

We'll BL removal still on going at my friends shop.

Plan are:



-Dyno because never got to dyno after the muffler.
-Probably gears or y pipe
-And yes after those 2 will probably tackle a Gobi Stealth and 4x4labs front bumper.
-Doing head light and tail light treatment. Doing some black & Gold and some halos...
