Default Tuna Slayer Mods

Great looking truck Tuna! Been following your mods along and picking up some great ideas for my 2008 SCAB. Really love the Saleen grille but mine is all chrome and the saleen is black. May hit you up for some tips on painting the outer rim of my stock grille so the saleen insert looks sweet.

Also like the write up you did on the AAL. I plan on one this spring and your write up will help alot. Here's a few pics of mine, including my cheap old rod holders. Not pretty but it gets them to the boat.

Keep up the good work. I look forward to the updates.

On the bottom of what? The only bedliner on mine is in the bed.

I'm just talking about the 2 tone with DSG and the black on the lower portion. I wanted to put bed liner on my truck where yours is black but was worried about it looking bad but your truck showed me how it would look even though yours is painted

They look great, on my short list. First I've seen them on the forum. I'm looking forward to seeing the mounted up. Post lost of pics!

Just got back last night from my trip to Boone, NC. 2000 miles round trip plus all the mountain driving/offroading I did down there. Had a blast and the truck ran solid. According to the Edge Evo, AMPG were 16.5 on the highway at 70-75mph the whole trip. Not bad for larger tires and much less aerodynamic truck vs stock. Still running it on Level 2.

Thanks again for the mirrors, the passenger side one shattered during shipping but I think I can fit my plastic onto your mirrors. I'll have to tear into it some weeknight or maybe this weekend to see if I can get them apart. The new ones are in much better shape than mine overall.
