Me either. Really can't wait for the summer and the track to open up.

I am just glad all the hard stuff with installing it is done now. just need to buy some nice wire loom and some black zip ties and clean up the engine bay and I will be all set. Thinking of getting my engine cover, fuse box and some other odd and end pieces painted to match my truck also. Nothing to crazy since it is Alaska and nothing stays clean up here but just something to dress it up a little.

LOL I will see what I can do. I think both Roger and I are going to have trouble finding any decent roads to really get on it. The main hwy looked decent last night so hoping it stays that way. Also I need to find my GoPro. Pretty sure the wife packed that up when packing everything else up in the hosue

I have my cell but would rather use the GoPro

Ha I already waited two weeks at work and half a week when I got home to install it. Right now I am just happy it's all on the truck and it turned over and ran when we turned the key. Waiting till the end of the day today is nothing compared to the wait I already went through. Still very eager to mash the skinny pedal though

I really wish I had it last night. I had to go pick up a buddy from the airport late last night and went into Tacohell for some food and there was a couple high school kids in what looked like a mid 90's lifted silverado and early 2000 Sierra that thought they were badass. They were all parked next to each other and kept reving their engines up and trying to get people to notice them. Would have loved to just pull along side them and shut them up.


I am just really looking forward to all the Power Strokes around here with the 2 foot diameter stacks and a bully dog tuner in the window that think they are hot ****. They need to be kicked off their little mountain.

sitting in line to wash it right now. will try and get a quick video on the drive home.

overall reaction is im blown away (ok that was corny).

really though why did i not do this sooner...the sound, the pin you to your seat, the roasting tires in 4x4 into 3rd gear..all of it. i cant wait to hit the track now.

i need better tires once summer comes also cause stock ones are just not gonna cut it
