    This will be a place where I will constantly upload pics of my progress on my truck. The pics will ALWAYS work I promise cuz it annoys the crap out of me to see posts with lost pics. I bought it less than a month ago and since then have installed a Tachometer (See my install thread HERE.) and done other little things.

    12/08/12 Today was a big day because I drove to Waverly, NE for some tires and rims off craigslist. They are 15" rims off of a Chevy Colorado and have 31x10.5 tires on em. The tires arent in great shape, but still have life in em. I liked the rims a lot more than my current ones. I only spent $100 and I feel like it was quite a deal. :D

    Then I dragged the wife along with me up further to Omaha and got this truck topper for only $180! It is in like new condition and all I'll have to do is slap some black paint on it. Fits perfect. :clapping:Finding the right size topper was a pain tho! :brickknock: Sliding side and front window. Back window works good. Score.

    And that's it for now!! Hope you guys enjoy the pictures and the more to come!

    Yea I think you'll be able to get them under there might get a little rub in the inner frame on full lock turns but that's not a big deal

    235/75 = 28.8" high tire. So I'd be gaining over 2" with the switch.

    I've heard this filters are crap. I might go buy a K&N filter for it. Good idea? Will it be that much better? Anyways.. I gotta go get to work. It was frickin 8 degrees F outside this morning and at least its up to 30 right now. :eek:

    Filter not fit on the opening to big ? Sometimes a slim peace PVC piping can be used to make a spacer/reducer and in some cases it can be used to extend your intake piping if u wish

    No its hard to explain but it seems like its sitting up on a hose and shooting the long metal tube slightly upward and over not just straight across. Tomorrow sometime ill just hook it all up and hopefully the weight of the censor and filter will pull it back down level....

    On the stock air tube there's a fitting with a small hose going into a round canister! That hose must be connect as was in order to run!
    Drill a hole in your new air tube & fit a fitting into it. If you put a lock nut on the inside of the tube USE RED LOCK TIGHT,so the nut can not fall off & go through the intake!!!
    I just cut threads into my tube,no nut on the inside!:cool:
