Getting closer. Got the exhaust all in, trans cooler lines made and run, intake on, everything hooked up wire wise. Front driveshaft fit perfectly (from a 2008 Dmax). Had to dent in the headers just slightly to clear the Ujoint cap bolts.

Got my tune from Justin yesterday, so hopefully starting it up today! My new dipstick tube that I bought broke in my hands. It was rusted from the inside so idk what was up with that. Once I have that, should be able to fill it with fluids

Its on the road. Got it running yesterday and drove it around tonight. Pretty easy on it since im on a fairly basic tune, but everything works. Its pretty scary fast. I dont think I got above 40% throttle and that was enough to whip it around going about 25. Need to get the exhaust finished (wanting to run 3" all the way back to dump behind the bumper). Ill work on a video or 2.

Been driving it around and working on the tune with Justin. Got the Tru Trac put in yesterday. Wheels showed up today.

Shitty video. About half throttle. Shows how nice the converter is on the shifts. Drops it right back into the power.

Few pictures outside of work on lunch. Exhaust is getting finished on Tuesday (3" from muffler to over the axle and dumping just behind the bumper/quarter pannel)

Just been driving the truck and working out a few kinks. Cant get it to manually shift into first, something with my shift cable I think. Other than that, tune is almost dialed in, waiting on another update.

Got the exhaust done. Ran 3" from the muffler back, dumping out in the corner of the bed, at an angle down. You can only see maybe 1/2" of the end of the pipe, cut off so its level with the ground. I really like how it came out. Truck is nice and quiet inside (almost too quiet lol) no pictures of that yet.

Got my 20% done today as well.

Should have some nice videos from this weekend. Big car show/cruise/burnout contest etc.

No huge updates. Getting the tuning dialed in still. Its close, just have to figure out the idle as the PCM isnt going into idle mode and its surging/dieing quite often.

No WOT videos yet, but it hauls ***. These 275s hook decent, but if I dont ease into it they break lose no matter what. 4x4 fixes that.

Got some Denali headlights with Mini H1 projector retrofit. They are awesome.

Guess I never put an engine bay picture. The intake is LOUD with the 4" tube and air box cut out. I dont think there is a restriction there lol. Curious as to what a good dry filter is for the stock air box though.
