we had to cut some out of the lower inside of the fender. you can't see it from the side of unless you get up close and are looking for it. I have heard there are aftermarket fenders with a wider opening, haven't had any luck finding them.
We didn't take any off the sides of the fenders, sorry for the dirty pic, I live on a dirt road.
This is the list of what's been done, I'm sure I left something out.

According to wilwood you have to run at least a 20 inch rim. We haven't put the brakes on it yet. Want to see what it does ar the track on some slicks first.
Thank you, I drive it every chance I get. It's really nice to drive. A lot of people said it would never spool... Well I'll tell you it does. I won't drive it in the snow, the rookie drivers in the DC area suck. I'd be pissed if someone ran into me.
I still have a lot I want to do with it. I did send a request to have it put in diesel power magazine. I'd love to see it in there.

The kid loves it, he throws his hands in the air and yells WEEEEEEEE!!!!! When drifting corners. Wife does not find it all that fun. There have been a few people pull up next to me wanting to play.. They get feelings hurt pretty quick.
Oh man I can only imagine the looks your wife gives you. My boys love mine but we don't get the chance to go fast very often and when we do I generally get a hand squeeze from her. It came out really nice though. Hey on your tail lights do you have any issues with the turn signals blinking fast? I got some ebay lights with resistors and they signals are normal until you brake as well
I haven't noticed any issues yet with them. I had that in the past and swapped out the front ones with led and it went away. I just got these ones installed... I broke a v band clamp to one of my wastegates today, so I'm waiting on that to show up...

Got some LED interior lights they are a lot brighter then the factory ones.25.00 from a local store for the set
Getting v band clamps swapped out.. It's a tight fit and it cold out.
Rear sway bar showed up as well. Need to get the end links cut and welded due to how low truck sits.

What brand sway bar did you get, and of course post up when you got it installed.
I've been wondering for a while how one would work with a decent amount of drop.
It's a helwig one. dustin is running the same one on his and it handles amazing. I'm having issues getting this gate to line back up. I'm prob going remove it, trying to hunt down plugs now.
I followed your thread on and off and recently scrolled through the entire thing, unless I missed it could you post up or pm some specs of your oil cooler setup. What brand and where did you get the sandwich plate and cooler, also what brand of lines are those as well they look beefy and really nice.
