I decided to switch out the grill just for different look. This one is powder coated black. Should give a nice contrast.

I got a brand new grill shell and cut it up

Arp bolts finally came in for the cover and i got it all installed. These 3.42s are kinda a love/hate deal IMO. Traction is better at 10psi, it no longer flames the tires, but accelerating up a big hill out of boost is different from when i had the 4.10s. It just takes a little more throttle.

Ah, it just looked very out of place on your truck.

Yeah it is embarrassing but I am lazy. Cutting those sections out was needed to keep the fill hose high enough to be able to put gas in through the stock filler spot.


I will fix it next time i have the bed off.
