Finally got my first set of black wheels. Love the look and size of 20's. Offset is awesome too. None of that -44 bull. Will get spokes and star from the center cap hydro dipped urban camouflage. Might get a spare valve cover and have it done to match. Sorry @bluex it was bound to happen sooner or later.

Lol, they'll do for now. I'm in them for $150.....I'd like American Forces but I'm also not living on a six figure salary!

Picking up a set of factory match Auto Meter boost, pyrometer, and fuel rail pressure gauges as well as a pillar pod for $350 on Saturday.

Ordered a 2 gauge steering column pod off Amazon, got it for free

so just need to order an $85 transmission temperature gauge, and an exhaust backpressure gauge. I should be in to my gauge setup for a little under $550. Pretty good considering that's all Auto Meter gauges and mounting solutions.

Lol finally have some pictures for you guys. Just hit 174,000 miles last night. Had some money left over on Amazon from a gift card so I bought a stubby antenna that looks like a 50 caliber round. Looks awesome but fitment left a lot to be desired.

Here's what I'm running for gauge mounting solutions. Cost me $30 for a can of factory match interior paint. Only needed to paint the steering column mount.

Only $350 for these 3 gauges and the pillar mount so good deal there. My transmission temp and exhaust pressure gauge are on their way. XDP had to ship from their NV warehouse.

This thing is a particle trap kit for my exhaust pressure. Autometer recommended it so soot wouldn't get in to the gauge. Decided to play it safe and spend $135 on the stupid black cylinder.

Fass Titanium 150 lift pump, I miss hearing the sound of a air/fuel separator under my truck lol. This one runs slightly louder than the Air Dog II that was on my Duramax. Ignore the Edge and H&S boxes, those are to my bosses old 6.7 Cummins.

Truck goes in Wednesday this week for the goodies and traction bars. I'm pretty excited to get all of this done finally. After all this and the state inspection gets done it'll be getting that rust fixed and some appearance mods.

Got the truck back from the shop on Wednesday. Had some trouble loading the EFI Live tunes and realized I needed to update the software and firmware for the Autocal. After that I got tunes on and ran the truck through each at different throttle levels. Haven't seen EGT's over 1,100 degrees and transmission temperature hasn't been over 150 degrees. I've been running the 120 tune and it does some awesome burnouts.

Tried to get the truck inspected at work yesterday and it failed because it doesn't have a muffler. For those who don't know, PA has been back and forth for years in regards to the turbo being considered a "muffling device". So where I work failed it and I called my garage I normally go to and the mechanic said "I don't see a problem if its not rusty or leaking". So Wednesday it goes in for inspection.

Truck made its first major trip last week down to Ocean City Maryland. Ran great, didn't see transmission temps over 160 degrees, no leaks, etc. Ran my race tune the whole time and averaged 18.5 MPG! Popped my OC burnout cherry too. Met some great people for a non-car show weekend. Sold the Horn Blasters kit I got too made $50, just decided I didn't want to install them so I bought an AR-15 today. Next up for this thing is tires, probably going with Interco Trxus STS.

Here's some summer shenanigans with the truck:

Route 1 in Delaware going to the beach

Today's steal, Bushwacker pocket flares painted the same paint code as my truck (they need mounting hardware) for a whopping $150.

You're going to need some offset wheels to make those look right i think
