Picked up another truck, gonna use it as a daily driver and tow pig for the race truck.
Truck is an ex parts truck from the local Ford dealer. They owned it since new so technically I am the "first" owner.
Truck is a 2000 extened cab short box
2 wheel drive
XLT has more options the my other truck LOL
with 442,xxx on the odometer ! Still runs like a champ. Scored it for a rediculously low price, all it needed was batteries, a front end (rear ender) and a windshield
Her she is when I brought her home
Removed the canopy right away
I kept my front end off my 02 from when I did the 05 front end so on she went to fix the smashed up bumper and grill. 05 lights and HIDs will follow
Tinted Tails
Cleaned the interior
First thing was a chip as I have spares kicking around. (ya I have a smoke and lope
) And new badges LOL
Had some spare exhaust parts laying around so she got a 4" turboback immediately
I was pleased with how much quieter it is incab compared to the RC. Glad I didnt do another stack.
I then decided that I would need gauges, so I bought autometers newest line the Elite series which is awesome, has a warning lo/hi and peak recall so I got a 0-2000* pyrometer and replaced one of the banks in the RC and took the 0-1600* gauge and put it in this, also installed a glowplug light and PTM the 3 pod. Boost and trans are next.
This is the new elite pyro. Yes its over 1800* Oops Racetruck problems
This was by far the filthiest motor I have ever seen, So I cleaned her up a bit.
Did a CCV vent, Painted the IC pipes and fabbed up an intake and put in fresh battries
Next was a score, buddy swapped the tires on his truck and gave me the ones he had to burn off on the race truck,I figured hell if I can find a nice rim Ill keep em.
So I found a set of rims and slapped em on. Tow pigs rolling on 20s now.
Before new rims
Picked up a set of factory 08 20s. Tires are a 275/65R20 Pirelli Scorpion
After
2nd Angle of new wheels
With the hubcaps
Plans for the weekend, is to yank the box and start fabbing up hangers to lower the rear of the truck 4" to match the front. Also have to replace 1 broken leaf.
Also am thinking of fabbing up a set of airag mounts. And will be throwing on the hidden hitch.
Something like this
While its off Im gonna build my own fuel system like the RC, Dual SD pumps and a 10mic/2mic into a reg return.
These are the parts Ive ordered for the fuel system. I love JIC fittings for ease of instalation and removal so I ordered all these from Summit. Anyone thats using stock SD pumps pay attention the the compression to JIC fitting I found. Just filed off the lip and it slides right on, had them on the Race truck for 20000km now at 67psi with no problems.
Also will be swappoing HPOPs between the trucks. My RC has a healthy modded 17* and well 442000 on the stock HPOP it isnt fairing as well. Seeing as the RC has gen3 it has more then enough HPOIL
I will match the tint on the front windows, then wouldnt mind throwing in a few parts I have laying around to firm up the shifts.
In the future a set of Nates stage 1s and the upgraded wicked wheel.
