Man....you still around?!?! lol Its good to see you. I'm on and off on the forums, but I still stick around. How is the truck running? How many tires you go through already since the Cam install?
What up dude? I haven't seen you in awhile. The truck is still running the same. As for the tires, well, there balled now. I've still got to get my converter, shift kit, and 150 shot of juice. The economy sucks right now. I got laid off from work a couple of months ago, and can't seem to find a job. Commercial superintendents are not finding any work in vegas. I might have to start my own paint shop, and airbrush for all you guys and more, but I have to have money to get a loan. Very depressing to say the least. What have you been up to? Still got the white beast?

Actually I never changed the setup after the truck rolled out close to 300whp. I was going to switch out but I would be throwing my money away for a brand name cat back system...and probably lose power at the same time.
Cool. It sounded like you had something custom made, but I see you were running the Magnaflow cat-back.

I take it, it's a black now? Is that your truck in the sig.? It wouldn't be to hard consistering it's already black. You still have to prep the whole thing, lay down a black base, and just use a Satin clear over it. Do you want any designs in it or lettering? Or just all satin black?

Dude...I'm sorry to hear that....I lost my retail job back in September and was out of a job for almost 3 months. Lets just say I am barely just catching up with my bills. Economy sucks so being a college student/ single, I am living with my parents. There is no way I can afford my own place or support myself in this hard times.
Hooligan....you painting your truck black?!?!! Damn dude....you should roll around with a storm trooper helmet after that.

Thanks man, I'm sure I'll get something real soon, it just sucks right now.
Hooligan, I'm assuming your truck is going to have a bunch of rock chips that will have to be sanded out and repaired, unless you don't care? Otherwise it would be a about 3 or 4 grand to re-do the whole truck. It's alot of labor. There's no way around sanding out the chips if they to the metal, and prime, paint and clear, cut and buff. Yes, you still have to color sand and polish a satin finish.

You think your rear tires hate you now, just wait until you get that converter. Just with the few mods I have and the Yank TT2600, WOT anywhere in 1st gear = black lines on the road. I am kicking myself in the a$$ for getting the 2600 instead of a 3000.
Yeah, I hear ya. I'm gonna get a 2800-3000, that way its streetable.
