Not sure if this belongs in the pulling section or a builders section, feel free to relocate if needed.

These are pics from late winter and spring of 2013 and some of the changes we made.
The third pic is by far my favorite, my 4 year old was sitting in the seat when I was mocking up the headers, because she wanted to "go with dad, and help" on a Sunday afternoon... She asked my brother and I, "where is the go button at on this thing" Exact words, my brother and I looked at each other and just busted up laughing!! I only got about an hour and a half work in though, because she was bored and wanted to go home, lol...
A friend of mine owns a bar and has PBR on tap, I seen the tapper and told him I wanted one for the hand throttle, he said no problem...
The weight box is hand painted, not stickers...
hx82 3.0", hx60, and 4.1" limited pro turbo...

I love the headers, I had around 25 hours in mocking up and welding them up... I've always wanted to build a set, and I love the sound! The primaries are all within a 3/8" of equal length, which is why it took me so long just to get them mocked up.

I always enjoy seeing pictures of your truck, Great work. The only problem I can see with the truck is the CaseIH sticker. :thumb:

Yeah, tell me about it!!! They are a NTPA sponsor, so we have to have it to get payout! Two of my brothers and I work for John Deere and my dad is retired from John Deere. Almost every piece of equipment my dad has is JD...

I couldn't help but laugh at Tomah, WI pull when Lance Little won ProStock tractor class with Big Country a couple years ago, I was standing right near where he interviewed, he had his full John Deere fire suit and hat, they made him switch hats for the tv footage... He tried giving the interviewer the Case hat back and they didn't want it back, he didn't want it either, lmao!!
