that truck came out absolutely stunning. the paint is just incredible. im thinking a video is needed of it.

 

That thing came out amazing Cory!!! You should be extremely proud! I love it!

 

thanks fellas ..
got another show this weekend , so if I remember .. I will get a vid of the Truck and the interior


.

 

west side daze in West Kelowna ..
First hiway trip .. it's not real far from home , so this was a good thing .. didnt have a good nights sleep , as I was thinking of all sorts of problems .. but alas .. she ran flawlessly

arrived at 9AM and started to set up







Trekker got great acceptance , but again .. most people didnt know what it was , they just thought it was a ~ truck with a canopy !!

some interior shots for you ..

My Vid camera ran out of batteries though .. so sorry no "moving vids" this time ..


.

 

Man it looks sharp, But the reason no one knows is cause your taking a truck to a classic car shows. Try some cae truck shows and i bet you win some stuff. I would vote for you.

 

car shows almost every weekend .. I'm lovin' it !!

so July 23 was the "chrome on the grass" in Kamloops ..

kind of "raced" a Tundra from the lights up the Couquhalla . its about a 7% grade up for a few miles .. my truck on 35's ..and the tundra with stock tires .. I'm real happy , had him up to 120K and I backed off ..

Soooooo............


how long until we see this beauty in a couple magazines

 

duno .. I keep tryin' but I get NO responces .. I think I need a little help !!




.

 

so badass!

 

so calculated my fuel economy this evening .. from this last trip , I avereged 24 MPG .. I know the tires throw the speedo off ,and all that stuff .. so I guess I will have to calculate it from a " map" milage .. to get a more accurate # ..

I also noticed some "belt squeel" so I ordered the URD pulley to replace the stock one .. it should add 1-2 lbs of boost as well

.

 

couple of more shows ..

Penticton Rotory show .. July 30th

.

Now i want one....... damn you!!!!

So whats the next project???

 

thanks fellas .. it is a real fricken cool truck .. really .. I absolutly LUV drivin it !! so much fun . some people at the shows are just in "awe" they are just amazed and complement me on how "subtle" but awesome the truck is .. not to much lift and paint ..ect ect.. but yet I still cant win a "trophy" .. I'm sure it will come eventually , and really I wasnt even thinking about it , untill someone HERE mentioned it !!

anyway .. i'm over it , as I talked to quite a few people after the voting a the last few shows ..

they let there wives go and vote for there favorites .. not a clue
most of them came by and I hear them talking " how would I ever get into this thing" (loose some weight fat A$$)

whatever !! I'm havin' fun


next project is the "supertoy" .. it's about a 1/4r mocked up already .. hope to have it back in the shop before the snow flies ..

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet! Cant wait to follow that build as well!

And dont worry a trophy will come!

 

Aaaaahhhh Penticton, so beautiful and brings back so many memories, Man Cory you got it made, beautiful country and beautiful truck!!!!! I'd still love to buy this off of you. Take care of it for me! LOL.

 

thanks .. yes , Penticton is a very beautiful place to live , and I am a VERY lucky guy to be able to do what I do for a living .

i'm looking after it .. it's just so much fun ..

drove by the local dealership , and they absloutly love it as well , the owners actually want to "store" it in there showroon this winter

There is another fella interested in buying as well , we have been "comnunicating" .. all I can say , is I know it will go to a good home when the time comes .

 

so I have decided not to put the URD pully on just yet .. but I did want to change the oil in the nose , so a little "how to" or how I did mine .

locating the oil plug is the first thing .. on the second gen (black supercharger) is is located on the front right of the nose just behind and below the hose bracket



I started by removing the bracket to allow more room



and proceeded to remove the plug



There are a few different ways to do this , I chose to use my brake line bleader



worked great , old oil removed





I removed 80ml of oil , so this is what I replaced
I used a IV style to do so



but it all back together , and tightened up the tensioner .. and DONE


.

 

so .. drove er for a couple of hours today .. last drive before she gets tucked in for the winter ..
crusin' around town .. still cant believe the head turning

parked inside , and CteK charger installed .. HIBERNATION BEGINS
