    Yes, because of the "Sea Turtles" all lighting near the beach here has to be High Pressure Sodium or SOX, both of which are very yellow. It was all I could do to get the white balance good enough to make the white cars white instead of amber.

    Pictures are sick man. The truck looks sooooo damn good. And that white sil coupe is pretty nasty too.

    He's putting around 450 to the wheels right now. Built SR20DET. He sooo badly wants to see me swap one into Penny, but I'm still not sure, Nissan and all... don't get me wrong it's a great motor, but still.

    It probably wouldn't be a hard swap. I thought about taking the sr out of my 240 for leroy, but decided to go 2rz instead. I love the motors though. They put down plenty of power even stock.

    Damn man, that truck is coming out saaaaweet! I know good work when I see it, and I definitely see it...all the way down to the paint you used on the frame, sure beats rattle can. What is your tire/wheel specs?

    You need one of these things I made for removing beds...upside, more beer you could have drank for yourself with the winch control in one hand and Sammy in the other hand, downside, nobody to drink the beer with and tell truck stories to. :shrug:

    How's the ride so far of the reverse 4 link system? Can you feel the rear lift up instead of squat a little or at all upon acceleration and brake decceleration how it is tuned right now? I never had the pleasure of driving or riding in a reverse linked truck yet. The craftsmanship of your panhard and everything looks show quality. Beefy looking links too. Keep up the good work.

    No, I've been watching for squat on accel and lift during braking, but can't really find any more than it had with the stock springs. Maybe a 1/4" or so? Hard to tell just watching in the rear views. The ride is phenomenal. As it would be with any aired/cantilever setup.

    And no, I haven't changed the avatar. I mean, the new pic I took looks just like that one, and it's a pain in the butt to size it right for the website to accept it...

    Thanks for all the compliments, it's still not done. Need to find a donor bed for the floor to close up the hole... and now I'm thinking of a moderate performance upgrade. Picked up a T3/T4....

    Oh yeah, last night my AZ OB2 took a dump. The intake reed valve broke and almost left me stranded. Definitely didn't last as long as I would expect, I'm going to call AZ tomorrow and see what they say.
