Thanks guys. Hopefully the weather clears up here, it's in the 20s and icy everywhere. I don't even want to step out in the garage at this point. The tools are like ice cubes

Not too much to post, but I ordered some odds and ends:

-Wilwood brake lines for 2wd
-3ft relocation hose for my fuel pressure sensor so I can remote mount it on the firewall
-New AC line since this one is leaking
-Installed the filter and elbow that comes with the kit, but it's not my style. I ordered a polished aluminum elbow with similar dimensions and a straight silicone coupler. This should match the polished charge pipe tubing that enters the throttle body. Should look nice





Too damn cold to work, but my intake pipe came in today. I'm happy with it.

Still can't believe how clean this is. Really makes me want to just spend a little extra on my next project and start out with something real nice haha

thanks, but keep in mind I've done a ton of unnecessary cleaning on this thing, but it cleans up really nice because it was taken care of. That's one of the reasons I gave up on the gray truck, because no matter how much I cleaned, that thing was just filthy and torn up

Thanks guys. The girlfriend gets back tonight from California where she's been for two weeks for her work training, so progress is likely to stall a bit now.

Got the new brake lines installed, took a ton of time to make sure it didn't bind or rub from lock to lock. Probably changed it 5 times before I got it nice and free

My TBSS replica wheels do hit the LCAs at full lock, but the tires will hit first once they're on. Should I do anything about this or just let it kiss and that's my new steering stop?

Looks awesome is that the polished version? 20s or 22s? Not much you can do about the wheel rub it's pretty common with bigger wheels. I'd just be mindful when turning.
