Well i am finally done.... It took longer because i had to tie up a lot of looses ends (wires, vent lines, fuel lines, etc)... Basically i did everything i could so the i would not have to take the bed off again until the 4-link starts going together and that is a ways off... Also i pressure tested the cell, and i had a little leak at the fuel sending unit, so I had to tighten it up some, also one of the vent line AN fittings was a little loose (my buddy put that one on...)

The exhaust sounds freaking awesome.. it is whisper quiet at 60mph, it gets throaty as **** when your going WOT, and flat out screams at 6500rpm!!! It talks a little bit at idle, but if i had a bigger cam you would really be able to hear it...

I have the tips pointing down at an angle, basically pointing right at the tire, which thinking back that was a bad idea so i gotta fix it...

OH part of the 1 hour long ordeal after everything was back together and getting ready for the first drive... Apparently i had a screw going through the rear wiring harness. It was shorting out the wire to the fuel pump, which was popping the PCM B fuse... Once we found that everything was all good.


OH and taking the factory fuel lines and EVAP lines out in 1 piece was SUCH A PIA!!!!!

Below are the pics!

Do you have any better pics of that upper shock crossmember? Specifically about how you attached it to the frame?
