Diff cover

Diff cover on


Fun tidbit: Freedom Offroad upper rear control arms won’t fit with the IHC relocation brackets. The bushing diameter is too large to fit in the axle side area.

Only missing a black headliner now


Also found this “u” shaped part on the frame smacks the top of a larger than stock differential cover.



Not anymore as you can see.

Added Bushwacker Trail Armor rocker guards. They don’t make regular cab specific but the fronts fit for crew cabs. I cut a rear up to cover the cab corner but it looked weird so I took it off.

Should add protection either way.

Airaid Jr intake tube



Had a K&N drop in filter prior, but the Airaid that came with the kit was dry and had way deeper pleats, so I put it in.

First oil change and added remote filter kit


Also added Hellwig rear swaybar


Had to remove the Freedom Offroad panhard due to clearance with diff cover. Gonna try a Spohn non-adjustable.

Bit the bullet and ordered a supercharger. Went with Edelbrock/Eaton TVS 2300 kit

Also ordered a Walbro 450 and new fuel pump assembly. Gonna see if I can figure that out. I’ve modded and fit dual pumps on other platforms so should be ok. Should be way overkill for anything I’m gonna do on stock block.

Finally AEM afr gauge and column pod to monitor.

After all that, some tune time at the shop I take stuff.

Making some great progress! Excited to see the supercharger install! I should have done a filter relocation long ago. look way more convenient in the new location.

Thanks!

Forgot... I ordered a one piece driveshaft and Core rear control arms to finish suspension.

nice, i love the single cab, but i have kids so need the room.

Installed gauge pod and AEM wideband gauge. Pulled sensor wiring through firewall and routed the power/ground. Not connected yet.

Kinda lame the pod isn’t a replacement piece but a cover. Fits well enough I guess.

Finished the wideband install


Driveshaft Pro ds installed


Core 4x4 non adjustable rear, lower control arms installed. The uppers again won’t fit on the axle side with IHC no cuts. Smaller diameter than Freedom Offroad bushing housing but still no luck. I have a hunch they’d fit with the cuts. May look into it one day.


Still waiting on supercharger to ship.

That going to be a fun ride indeed. Who is your tuner?

I’ve used Brutal Speed and Tuning in Maiden, NC for a couple of previous cars. Great shop and local to me. He’s a month or more out so I’ve been working with Hemifever via email since truck runs like doo doo without tune. Great service as well.
