Chrome mirror caps do look a lot better. Matches with the rest of the truck well.

Quick question. On the headlights, is the green painted on the outside or did you split them and paint the backside? Or the yellow. I don't know what you call it but I like it.

He just painted the outside of the light.

Looks great as usual Earv.

well guys... as I figured, 2016 would be the year I finally went under the hood...
So here I am looking for some advice from this extremely knowledgeable forum

I'm putting the truck in the shop and this is what I want to have done, can you guys help me out if I'm missing anything or there are better options?

OEM Oil Cooler Replaced
OEM head gaskets
ARP head studs
Sinister EGR d3lete
KC Stage 2 turbo
175/30 or stock injectors (can't decide)

Already got the Vision Diesel aluminum coolant tank, Mishimoto aluminum radiator , coolant filtration system, and CAI on.

Whatcha think?
And I'm told ballpark 7500 for this, that reasonable?

DEEZUZ · Feb 4, 2016

Yes it's reasonable.

Cheap isn't quality and quality isn't cheap, I can't stress it enough.

Can also do a regulated return, banjo bolts, etc

stock, no towing no racing. just driving

earv_g0tti · Feb 18, 2016

Well guys I bit the bullet, truck is goin to the shop for the next stage of the build. I'm getting closer and closer to having a full build. It'll get all the regular "bulletproof" work from ARP studs, to EGR ****** etc then also bumping up to 175/30 injectors and a KC stage 2 turbo and a few custom tunes!

Pretty excited

earv_g0tti · Feb 18, 2016

Also just a little update on the daily.
It's gotten most of the attention lately. I've done smoothed & color-matched everything, platinum grille & gate, ******d & tuned, 5" exhaust to 7" tip, 3" lift & 22x14 American Force Fuse with 325/50r22 Cooper STT Pro

when i first got it back in October
