mine is definitely better.. even the cheap fcs shocks have helped.. mine is a daily smoker I don't wanna spend loads on or id have spent a little more.

Very nice

Whilst I will admit, your truck isn't exactly to my taste, I can certainly appreciate all the effort you have put into getting to look like it does

Thanks man! I completely understand haha. It's flashy and ridiculously wide which isn't the goal of most forum goers. There's a ton of really clean trucks on here that aren't flashy. I've slowly progressed to the point where this truck no longer serves a real purpose other than to be a hobby I enjoy, and for me it serves as a business card because I would love to turn my side work into full time one day and open a truck shop, but that's a dream at the moment.

that is a 90 degree piece of aluminum I got at home depot. was a 3 foot piece I cut down. a 1/8" npt pneumatic muffler, a 1/8" npt female coupler, and a 1/8npt 5/16" hose barb per breather. about an hrs work total in cutting drilling and mounting. probably would have been less if it wasnt 100 degrees today and I didnt move to the shade because I didnt think it would take too long. work of advice, move to the shade.
