The I Promised I Wouldn't Build It, Build Thread

[Biggest]

I don't plan on attending TRR vehicle-less this year as I don't think anyone's gonna be freely throwing me their keys after last year.

So if the prerunner raptor is still around, I'll get it out there. She's prepped and ready to lay some hot laps around Texana. However, there's a possibility the poser "raptor" might make an appearance if I get my ass in gear and start throwing some parts at it.

I'd throw you my keys cuz I don't give a fuuukkkkk! (Kat Williams voice )

Some new and interesting plans for this one. Some straight revolutionarily exciting and some not so exciting...

Day 1:

Tonight, she gets the stubby antenna and tomorrow off for mid perch, 37's, and of course a set of obligatory Methods.

Weather tech floor mats FTW!!!

Psh, true street queens need a dose of these:

Nice Charlie! I'll be interested to hear about the mid perch and 37s.

Also. How is it so many people know they have functioning brakes? I mean, you suckers actually USE that pedal?

I only know because there are stop signs on my way to work

Everyone knows those are only for the other drivers...

 

[wanderfalk]

all kidding aside, you should have a good perspective on the longer wheel base.

The problem is the other drivers ignore them

Did you go with LineX or a BedRug?

What's your MPGs with that new one? Are you worried that 37's will ruin your MPGs?

What percent window tint did you finally go with?

 

[Raptizzle]

Factory spray in liner. Less weight than any other options for optimal performance.

No tint yet. Had a big Molly delivery today for thanksgiving so needed to look legit for the 5-0. Will report back with percentages and overall light penetration into the cab post tint. Write up to follow.

37's to go on tomorrow. With proper balancing, I'm shooting for 25mpg on average. Installed a flex fuel system already. It's legit.

In other news... Stay tuned for my DIY Contest entry where I show you guys a step by step on how to install a stubby antenna. It's a Birdman caliber write up (despite paying for the stubby myself) and I'm definitely anticipating winning that iPad with this entry.
