Nice. The first thing I would do is paint it flat black.

CBRich · 05-28-2010, 12:32 PM

As soon as she's running good she's gettin' the sandpaper.

What do you need to do to it?

CBRich · 05-28-2010, 12:56 PM

The thing runs fine when it's cold but once it gets to operating temp it stumbles and stutters and stops running. Reading on the forums the distributor pickup coil seems to be a common issue and that's most likely it. When it is running it idles smooth, it shifts smooth, and sounds good. Overall not bad.

nope, first thing it needs is a gun turret....then flat black.

I'm already fighting the redneck stigma here. That would not help.

I just want to go on record as saying that I'm an import. Originally from the coast of Virginia and recently moved to SC. So I am not a hootin' hollerin' 4x4 redneck. Just wanted to make sure that's clear.

Funny you mention the exhaust. It's got headers --> true dual pipes --> 14" resonators --> Done.

It sounds crazy.

I think I'd chop off my own balls and drag them down the street before I put those hideous things on a hitch. How can that be anything but gay? (Not that there's anything wrong with that, LOL.)

I do not own a gun but think this is a required accessory for this type of truck.
