Switched the exhaust on the dog turd to 2 chamber mufflers. Much better tone!

Also welded on some turndowns.

Trying something new camera wise. I'll have to shoot in 4k for the next video.

You gonna make the rest of the truck black?

Probably not. So many people get so hacked off the truck isnt one color. Its comical and I enjoy it. (Not saying you are.)

Did receive some parts today. Time to do the front coilover conversion.

Was wondering which, of any, color you were gonna choose. Seemed like it was a mishmash to get straight, rust free panels so wasn't sure what the long term was.

It'll probably go back to the original two tone blue if anything.

Well, installed the fully adjustable Aldan American coilovers. Not a bad deal for $470 for the whole kit. American made to boot!

Decided to remove my intake elbow and valvecovers. Gave em the VHT wrinkle treatment.

Did you beef up the lower control arm where the coilover shock bolts to? I've wanted coil overs but the thought of the stress on that t-bar and mounting bolts scares me

The bolt holes get modified, the T bar is billet.

You have to think of the forces the factory shock and lower spring exert on that area under stock use.

It's going to be likewise with the coilover. Also, the tbar mounts ontop of the control arm. Not under like the factory shocks.
