Maybe after the 6.0 swap it'll live up to the badges.
did you read the thread? - the badges came off?

oh well its getting there- looking into buying a house with the fiance so the 6.0 swap might just have to wait

oh yeah and heres pics of the sweet off road Y pipe i made last week- i know its not show and shine but since i didnt have pics of the bumper yet ill share these- i have stainless shorty headers, and no one makes an off road stock Y pipe so i made a jig- welded to the bench- welded the pipe to the jig and started cutting and welding- the welds arent the prettiest- but they worked- and i grinded the hell out of them to make them look decent
