Very nice. All the wire looming looks well done.

Where did you find the replacement coolant crossover?

If you want to hide the ECM a bit more, buy a sheet of black Kydex, make a few simple 90 degree bends and fashion a cover for the top of it. Would look slick and a bit more protection from elements. Or possibly just cut up the stock cover to fit.

Thanks! I got the crossover kit from ict billet, I believe it was around 45 dollars, make sure an use thread tape. It doesn’t come with instructions and I found out the hard way.

So I have finally decided on a set of wheels for my truck. The current ones are getting rust from chipped chrome and over spray. Plus my tires have to go since they are cracking at the sidewalls from old age. Below are the only two options I have for wheels, only difference is offset(0 or 19 and backspacing 4.5 or 5.250). Wanted to get opinions on tires for performance on the street. My truck is level but lowest I MAY take it is another 2 in front and back.

haha I needed a laugh for today! nah these are them below. Trying to keep old school look with what little options are out there. Really dont feel like dropping a ton on bogarts or weld. If I drop that much on a wheel I would rather is be spent on my engine. These are reasonable priced and only decent looking black wheel out there

Monday I got these wheels ordered and decide on a set of toyo proxes st3. I was going to get nitto but they stopped making the tire I needed. Next best thing was toyo, I was limited on selection, because the tires I have now are the right size. Old tires size is 275/55/r18 and now that I have a 17in rim I bumped the tire up a little 275/60/r17 it will basically be the same thing I have now. It will leave me good room if I decide to lower it a little.

Those look good. I like a meaty sidewall on 17s.

I agree, add a little protection to the wheel if you nail a curb

Not to mention a little cushion for your spine.
