Oh god don't say that garner hahaha I was actually in Boston this weekend with it. lol

I would do a DIY but really I was installing my tuner and a buddy was taking the door spears and emblems off. All he really did was take something to pry up the spears and grabbed and pulled them off. Used an eraser wheel from pep boys to take the glue off. lol

But speaking of tuners I can't finish hooking mine up!!!!! UGH!!!! I can't find the stupid data link plug on mine!! They say its a gray triangle. Well I don't have one of those I can find. Anyone able to offer some ideas?? Pics?? Anyone with a 2000 or 01 that can show me?? Is there an adapter for it??

Nice man!! Glad to hear it. I guess since it still blows a little black, you can still cover a prius or two when you're passing them lol :biggun:

its more of a puff than anything lol I can't really load it up and black out the sun lol but the truck is mostly stock. Thing I'm running into now is that the truck seems to be cutting out for some reason ? I don't know why?? I am thinking I'm losing fuel pressure but not sure since I don't have a fuel pressure gauge. I was getting good boost on friday but the rest of the weekend I couldn't get much over 25. So I am looking into that. I think my lift pump can't keep up with the tuner.

Well did some painting this week. It's almost done. All thats left is to wet sand and pollish.
I color matched my grill. The chrome was peeling so I pulled all the chrome off and prepped for paint and painted it up. What y'all think?

Looks sweet! Hope I get to see it Saturday. I might not make it depending on what's going on Saturday. Did you pull your red inserts out of your wheels? You should color match those, might look cool. :hmm:

That would look pretty good but those inserts broke on me last year. So I'm rockin the all black look. But I kinda like it. Hope you can make it Saturday! I will have it wet sanded tonight and hopefully back on. I will be getting my tires tomorrow or Saturday morning.

I may come down and meet and donate even if I can't go on the run. I'll know more tonight or tomorrow. Should be an awesome day for it though.

Can't wait to see those tires go on there. Just a little over a week away for me. It's looking like it may rain that Saturday though. Hoping the weather cooperates.
