The only thing my wife liked about my old Cummins was that she could walk under the mirrors and that it had steps so she could get in.

When I still had it we always drove her Trailblazer if we were going somewhere that would be hard to get the truck in/out. She was very happy the day I sold it and bought an Xterra. Then there was also the issue of it being straight-piped and me starting it at 0300 or 0400 to get ready for work and it kicking into 3 cylinder high idle when it was 20 feet from our bedroom.

Truuuuuuuuuuuuck




Its offroady and shit.  The wheels are huge and so are the tires but they dont make it look like a rollerskate.  If it had a train horn it would actually fit the truck.  

It doesnt have monster stickers, it has unit stencils.  

It can run over any vehicle luke bryan owns.

Are you good at electrical diag? I hope so, everyone one of those turds I worked on in the Army was fucked. Hopefully you never have cab raise/lower or spare tire raise/lower issues. That valve block behind the cab that controls it all would constantly fuck up and if you had to remove it and you can't raise the cab, just light a match and walk away.

My new (to me) 2019 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X.

Before:



After:



I've debadged her, swapped the original chrome-looking grille and emblems with the OEM Midnight black versions, added deflectors, a tonneau cover, Nerf bars, and a brush guard.

The Nerf bars have already been banged up and paid for themselves after taking her off-roading last weekend. I hit a big enough rock to dent the passenger side Nerf bar and bend all three brackets. Had I not installed them, I've no doubt I would have damaged the body. The rear bumber also has a small scratch, thanks to some old man whose foot slipped off the brake while stopped behind me at a light-exactly four weeks to the day after I bought her.

No mods at the moment planned.  Idea was to flip it and have some fun in the meantime.

Hey, I've got something like that.


That was the day I dragged home the bridge crane for my new shop.  

Been collecting parts: a second M1088 frame, a contractor dump body, a Boss underdeck air compressor, and an IMT knuckleboom crane.  Eventually I'll stretch it out and put it all together.  One of these decades...

Welded a hitch on the old C10 so it’s the new bike hauler now.  

It was fun dragging some newer BMW from a red light hauling the mountain bike after a ride the other day.  The old truck makes 657 rwhp and I’m pretty sure he didn’t expect that.

It’s a LY6 6.0 with just a cam swap, headers and a Procharger D1-X.  It made 657 whp on 8 lbs with the largest pulley.  Each pulley size is about 2 more pounds of boost and the tuner said about 75 ish whp increase per pulley swap.  I’d like to run 12 lbs or so but I’d need to spray meth he said.  For now I’d just like to get it sorted first.  The transmission is a 4l85e with a billet 3600 stall, axle is a Ford 8.8 with a spool.  The Procharger hasn’t been on it but a few months.  

I finally got around to taking it to the track and made one easy run letting off at the line since it spun and again before the end of the 1/4 mile.  On the next run I intended to see what it might do BUT the rear end broke at the line.  The parts should be in this week and hopefully take it back out in the next few weeks.  

It’s more of a street truck and actually drives pretty well.
