Tried to make more progress on the wire tuck. I found myself stuck in a circle where I had to do one thing before the other, but couldn't start that until something else was routed.

Anyway I finally said **** it and took a stab at the passenger side

Nice and hidden

Got the front harness completely wrapped. This contains the lower engine stuff like AC, oil level, crank sensor, starter, and the upper is coolant, alternator, and drivers fuel injectors.

Also got the transmission harness wrapped. It's still got a ton of slack, but I'll find a way to hide that

Added the 4l80 harness and a white pin for the wideband logging

I do this all the damn time. I always think,"It'll be fun to have a quick, clean truck, but at the same time it will always feel, and drive, like a truck." I miss the feeling of a sports car

I have to have a truck around the house anyways for projects and hauling my mower to cut yards, so my thinking is that I can have my fun in the vehicle I have to have around anyways to "save some money" on an extra vehicle.

And that's what I keep struggling with because I originally bought this red truck to use as a new daily driver. But then it just started to get too nice and I knew making it a DD would ruin it, so right now I have two trucks, which is a little odd. But then again, this truck is cheaper than any car I would want to buy... I do believe the first time I do a rolling burnout in this red truck, all the doubts will go right away and be replaced with a smile

I think that's my problem too. I have just been working on cleaning up the aesthetics a little (though nowhere nearly as nice as yours), and it isn't fast at all yet. I haven't ridden in a fast truck, so I'm just so hesitant to drop much money in it for fear that I still won't be satisfied with it. I need to ride in a fast one to motivate me...

I've gone for a ride in two pretty quick trucks lately, one with around 600 and another over 500 I believe. They both will surprise you, and it definitely gave me motivation to make more power. Having said that, a 600hp z06 will always feel faster than a 600hp truck, but these both felt very quick

After installing a 4/6 drop on 275/45/20's... I was surprised how the truck handled the first time it hit the street. The SCSB went from a super heavy understeer to almost neutral. It's still a substantial brick but the handling reminded me of the 2nd gen T/A's I had back in the day. YMMV

Just read form front to back, the attention to detail is amazing! Great read so far, keep it up. On your trans cooler lines going into the 40K did you make those or buy the lines premade? My OEM lines have been damages, if I could buy a premade set like that it would be a time saver.
