Finally got the truck lifted with proper wheels and tires

****ing badass!

Thanks! Hopefully looking at a new turbo for it coming up my buddy who has a 1000+hp built cummins is going twins and is selling his custom built $5000 garrett twin compressor turbo and is only asking $2500 its really tempting boost is set from 35-90lbs!

[enigma]

Looks good man, modding a powerstroke is alot more dinero than modding a cummings, 800 for a hpop, 15000 for injectors, etc etc....
If your gonna be sled pulling look into a set of rear traction bars....or are the dodges that year rear coil spring?

[Chopper17]

Yea I had a full cummins swap for my ford and the trans was $4200 but then lost motivation in the swap and was going for 500hp powerstroke but found out fast how much it would have cost lol

I'm going to be building a set of traction bars for it really soon because I got some axle wrap with the 5.5" blocks in the back.

[RedBowTies88]

looks good man! run that cops car over when he's not looking..ive had a few private property careless tickets...really aggravating.

not a big fan of dual stacks or the classic "hey its a cummins don't you forget!" stickers.... but now im just busting you balls. lol

[Chopper17]

hahaha I wanted to and the cop saw me driving the other day and followed me around town I just went into a big circle till he figured it out and got wicked pissed.

I had single and duals but prefer aussie duals which I think I might get or bull haulers lol I havent put the cummins sticker on yet but I got that big one on the back tailgate just incase someone forgets what it is lmao

Looks great! If your planning on flares, might I suggest Bushwhackers. Their fitment is spot on.

[Chopper17]

Thanks! bushwhacker are the exact ones I was going with but gotta fix a dime size piece of rust on the rear wheel well on the bed then gotta sand down under neath where the flares gunna be placed and primer and por 15 or rustoleum it so it wont rust anymore.

looking good man, still got the red one?

p.s I bet loading that quad is tons of fun with the new lift. haha looks good man,diggin the stance.

[Chopper17]

Nah I sold the red one to buy this in august kinda wish I just cummins swapped the ford because I prefer the ford styling over the dodge.

lol yea its a SOB but I just back the truck to the edge of the driveway and load it easier that way but coming back from the trails and loading it there is kinda sketchy jumping it into the truck on the back wheels.

X2... Been using bushwacker flares for almost 20 years...

[Chopper17]

Yea I heard a lot of good things and my friends have them on their trucks and jeeps and they love them.

[R22B]

I work in the offroad industry - get Bushwacker. They have a rebate starting 1/1/2011 but its just for flat style flares on wranglers and xj's.

[Chopper17]

yea i havent decided on which style im going to get because I might wait till I do the line x on the bottom to do the flares just because im getting everything sand blasted and properly painted in the spring and I dont want to paint anything durning the winter.

Never really liked stacks. Kinda seems unnecessary.

actually, for hadcore racers/sledpullers they almost are



sled pullers because turbine explosions are so common they want the shrapnel to be shot up into the air instead of at the audience...there are very few sanctions left that allow exhausts without some kind of turn up..

they also require to bolts to be placed in the exhaust in an X pattern no more then a foot or 2 from the turbine..

also in drag racing the same thing goes... only its more of a concern for the timing equipment...lasers can't see through smoke same as we can't...also covering lane side advertisements and banners with soot became an issue

[Chopper17]

Very true even tho I dont sled pull right now I will still be doing it this summer and fall and I do go to local drag strips every so often. Its a hit or miss with some people I never really liked the side exit out the back but would like to do duals in front of both rear tires but the dam 39 gallon fuel tank is in the way.

[RedBowTies88]

just buy a tank/toolbox combo ;)


i personally like my bed cover....but if it gets to a point where i'm having trouble tuning out the smoke i may go with a 5" single

[Chopper17]

Lol I wish but too much money for an exhaust set up haha

I wanna upgrade my 4" pipe under the truck to 5" or 6" but not till I get over 500hp when it's needed.

[RedBowTies88]

not even lol, 4 in is good untill you're into the s400 range. the stock turbine on that turbo you're running should only be 3" right?
