I've got a running thread over on www.BuiltWithBlood.com logging everything I'm doing and that gets done to the truck. You can check it out here: http://www.builtwithblood.com/forums/showthread.php?t=419 Figured I'd put one here too.

Right now it's in Texas (where my trucks seem to always end up LOL ) at G Racing. I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to do with the truck 'til I saw a pic of Shawn's short bed 4x4 a while back and instantly made up my mind. So it's over there getting the short bed and 4x4 conversion right now along with some pw/pl doors and XLT seats he found for me. I've been doing all the other work and plan to do most of the rest of the work myself though (as you can see in the bwb thread), but I'm not about to learn how to weld on my frame and suspension. LOL

Once I get it back from Jason, which should be about 4 weeks, it's going straight to my buddy to get wrapped. He showed me what we're doing with it the other day. It's gonna be bad-ass! I'm gonna order the wheels and tires and ordered my license plate in the meantime: ZMBYKLR. :evil :D

Future plans, I have an Apex manifold on the way with the nitrous rails. Also have a high output Dieselsite hpop ready to go in. Gonna get a regulated return from somewhere and an AirDog II and Hellmann sump and intercooler and ARP's. Once I put all that in (I love having a lift now :D ) I'll see what it does like that with the stock injectors, turbo, and trans. After that I'll just have to decide how far I'm gonna take it.

Good luck Danny!

Glad you didn't give up on the high performance world, especially after your last go around with the 6.0L

Can't wait to see it!

Truck is with Jason at G Racing right now. Should be a 4x4 by the end of the weekend. :D Gonna try and find some 5.4 springs to bring the front down a little too.

Finally decided on wheels and tires too. I was gonna get some Rebel 16x10's like Brian has but couldn't find a street tire I liked to go with 'em. So I'm going with some 18x10 Ultra Rogues in black with machined lip and Toyo Proxes ST II's 295/45R18's. Wheels are 28lbs each and tires are 34.5lbs each so they'll still be a fair bit lighter than stock. I'll just be giving up some top end since they're only about 27-28" tall. But it'll still be plenty enough to go thru the traps in the 1/4 mile.

This is the wheel:
