Matt did you do a Transgo jr on this while you had it apart? I couldn't remember. What have you been planning for power upgrades for this since you've been driving it more?

I wonder if flares would go on that bed??? Looks awsome mean and clean, I would go nuts with rocks and dirt with my tires tha far out, but damn it looks good from the front with that back spacing

Shit on second thought QS trucks had flares, they were odd with clearance lights on them. I would imagine you would be too wide with flares to not run clearance lights. NM

Didnt have time
whem I rushed to finish it this spring. Will maybe do a trans this fall/winter.

I need a lift pump bad. Drained my fuel rail the other night on a max effort tune.

its already really wide. Flares would make it awkward I think.

Didn't read back but did you get a weight on it yet?

Haven't yet. Been busy with work and the GF and the gym lol

Washed it up today after someone let the air out of my tires when it was parked next to the shop door overnight.

Time for a security camera.

Also going to pick up a full medium gray leather interior out of a Z71 Suburban tomorrow. :happy2: No more W/T seats and no lack of a console or flip down console :D

sell me the seats!!

I need those!

that truck is the envy of a lot of dmax fans! :thumb:

Maybe if I had a bunch of engine work done but its just a stock LBZ.

Someday I'll grow a pair and do an engine build.

I know my interior swap won't be a drop in deal but I wonder how much of a PITA it's going to be since it didn't come out of an LBZ truck. I wonder if Ben would respond to a PM about it? I know he's a busy guy

Put the center console in the RC today. Much better.

I need to order carpet and the dash swap will probably have to happen this winter when I have down time. Ben is making me a tapshifter harness and a glow plug harness to make the 03 Suburban interior a pretty much plug and play deal. I talked to him for a good part of a half hour on Friday during lunch, awesome guy to talk to :D The leather seats I got have side impact airbags and I'm hoping to use them for a little added safety in cash of a crash in this little truck.









Wish I could have put the seats in and wired a relay in but it's not that easy with the 03+ trucks and the BCM

For the floor shift 4wd I just gutted the console, in the event I need 4wd I just have to pull the cup holder out and the shifter is right there.
