Working on my girls truck(lots of pics)

[the codes]

nice job man, looks great! seems like a easy girl to shop for lol im stuck buying my gf useless jewelry -_- lol

is that intake powdercoated or have a glaze on it or something?

 

[Stangshcky12]

That intake is actually just 2 5" 90* exhaust elbows welded together that's painted, cleared and wet sanded. It looks great which makes me really want to do it

Probably the only time the stadium will ever be lit with out the field behind te truck and all of the Parkins lots full of cars...

I'm not sure how she manages to get it this muddy

 

[blk05hemi]

Nice!

 

[garner]

Is she not one to mud or something? Cause that's barely any mud lol

 

[Stangshcky12]

Well for the truck not leaving the road since I washed it last it's a good bit of mud.
That's just from her going home and our driveway lol. It was clean when he left school Thursday to go to a funeral

 

[Stangshcky12]

Maybe I shouldn't have said anything. I took that last picture around 5:30, about an hour before our 120 mile trip back to school
This was at about 10:30


Bit of a weather change in just a few hours
Also saw a roll over and a passed a bunch of pulled over cars and tractor trailers that couldn't make it up the hills

 

[Stangshcky12]

Just found out I'll have full access to a machine shop here at school including a waterjet and my brothers buddy has a CNC plasma torch so Im trying to convince my girlfriend a headache rack would look good on her truck.
Something like the spyder ones wouldnt be to hard to make

Something else on my list! lol

Alot of good work and progress man! Looks awesome!
So we've seen pics of the truck but wheres the girl lol.

 

[Bigdaddy]

Look very nice now it's something to see what a little tender loving care will do.

Ah the things we do for our kids. My 96 ram is sitting in my driveway waiting for my 14 yr old to turn 15 do he can start driving it. Yikes!

 

[Stangshcky12]

She got a hell of a deal on it lol

She clipped a tree branch one night last summer when we were out looking for one of our cows that got out(of course it was the one black one) I bout the mirror glass from another member on here
Went to replace it today and found out that pre 07 mirrors mount differently then post 07
The one I got is different so it's going to require some surgery(can't complain for what I got it for though!)
Sooo does anyone have any tips for removig the glass from the holder with breaking it?

 

[the codes]

I dont know but heres a bump for ya

 

[Stangshcky12]

Well It ended up being easier then I thought it would be

I'm probably going to wait till I'm home to actually change it since I have glue and double sided tape there already

Boyfriend of the year award for you sir. Wish my wife had a truck like me but she decide to get a 2012 cobra wtf and still has yet to let me drive it *****

 

[Stangshcky12]

Got bored and finally yanked The silencer after planning to do it for almost two years lol
Intake tube Took me awhile to get off, I'm guessing in 7 years and 155k miles it never has been taken off. The ring was pretty stubborn, it was near the top so i had to work it around and once I figured out how to actually get under it it came out easily. It took me like half in hour-45 min from tube off to on. I could do it again much quicker with just a screwdriver if I did it again
I took a before and after video but accidently deleted the before thinking it was one I dropped in the grass
It's not really much louder but sounds good IMO

[infernoredram]

[Stangshcky12]

I would if I had the money lol
I'm planning on replacing the torque tube in the next few weeks
Never thought about it before but I'm gonna see if my buddies dad would be able to make him and I airbox similar to icebox
