I should have a good chance at it. Gonna be putting bigger injectors in later this spring. Test and tunes are limited to 50 vehicles only with pre registration and $100 for a tech card, due to this virus going around. So once things get back to normal I'll give it a go at the track.
Well good luck! I’m most likely selling the 05 and finishing my 99’. Be nice to get up that way and race them:thumb:
i like the block of wood on the stack:roflmao: :hug:
Gotta keep the 4 legged criters out somehow James. Lol
Thanks Albert, that would be cool to hookup one-time before the 05 is gone for sure:thumb:
Had some time Sunday to get down to a buddys shop and weld up my adjustable brackets for the dual adjustable viking shocks. Im sure our welds dont even come close to someone who is more experienced but they got the job done.
When we mocked everything up I made sure to get the brackets as far out on the axle as I could, and still have the body of the shock miss the inside of the frame. So that put the shock about a 1/2" from inside of frame rail to the body of the shock. We repeated that process in the opposite side.
Once all the welding was done and shocks were installed, they were damn near straight up and down. Overall I was happy how everything turned out for someone who has never tackled a job like this.
Have to reroute the rear hard brake lines along with a few odds and ends, then I will be able to put the bed back on and start figuring out these shock settings.

Finally got the new brakelines made up and routed the way I wanted. Had some issues getting them to not leak do to a shitty brakeline flare tool I had.
Then installed the shocks and will be putting the bed back on tomorrow. Still need to figure out what to do with the emergency brakelines. Maybe just take them out, but I have plenty of time to think about it. Hope everyone is doing good and staying as healthy as you can.

Looking good! Boy I’d love to pull the bed and cab off mine. My frame just ain’t bad enough yet.

Decided to go with a bigger tire then wheel this time. Took the slicks off the 16x10 -25 offset raceline renegades, and put some 305/70r16 Mickey thompson Baja ATZ P3's on them.
Looks pretty good I think, and I'm looking into getting some Bogart racing wheels made for the truck.

Always loved this truck since i saw it on the ole instgram a few years back! Awesome work buddy!
Recieved my front shocks today from viking. My Bogart wheels are still not done. Talking with them they will be done by the end of the month.
