Grampas' truck-----------
 
Well that's what my 2 grandson's call it. I've done 4X4 builds in the past, done some drag racing, still a fan of vintage/historic road racing. A year ago I ordered, https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...6d7a4ade43.jpg

Simple basic and lightweight. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...63739826d6.jpg

Needed a removable rack, Vantech P3000, https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...7802bbe544.jpg
A Decked Drawer System,https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...308f3d3fe2.jpg

Set of KMC XD 300 Pulley wheels 17x8, and a Pypes 4inch catback exhaust, https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...1378706b01.jpg
Painted headlamp surrounds to match the body, put in a set of SuperNova V3 LED bulbs, https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...09e92638af.jpg

Installed a BullyDog GTX and BCB tune,https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...1a0cca739b.jpg
Getting to last week installing a set of takeoff factory flares, https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...479a2b1f61.jpg

Still have some suspension work planned and a tire upgrade, probably sound work also.
The grandkids do like it! And it's a hoot at stoplights. KM

Nice looking truck. I have a sweet spot for reg cabs. Very nice!

How did you find the 4" exhaust effect low end on the 2.7?

Nice lookin ride, it must be a rocket with the 122" and a tune on the 2.7!

Couldn't watch, got the old "An error occurred. Pleas try again later" :'(

Looks like it pulls pretty hard! Nice job!

Nice truck!

Curious... what's the payload on that?

Video worked this time... Yap, just as I suspected, she's a rocket ship! lol

Never considered, as camping (backpacking and wilderness canoe solo travel), is my hobby as well as trips to vintage/historic road races and the local dragstrip. I am retired so it is a daily watch grand-kids Little League hauler.

I can put all my camp stuff in and not hit 900 pounds. KM
