Thought a blew out a turbo already. Spent all day figuring it out. Went and looked in the road and there’s a pretty thick oil Trail through the burnout marks. Ended up it was pouring out of the turbo. So I wasn’t sure if I had already burnt up a new turbo or what. Upon tearing down the turbo everything looked new like it should. Come to find out the drain line had a restriction on one of the fittings I never noticed. Got a differnt drain off a buddy and now seems to have the problem solved. Another time consuming issue

Went for another test drive yesterday. Truck is running stout. I did overfill the trans pretty bad so whenever I get on it some fluid comes out of the overflow gonna drain some out this evening. However I also got the whole front clip the way I want it yesterday. It’s completely one piece like a fiberglass one 6 pins and it’s free only weighs maybe 75lbs total. Had to section some of the hood for exhaust clearance. I’m gonna have to shooting up right in front of where the passenger mirror would be.

Got the exhaust somewhat how it’s gonna be. Will just barely protrude the hood. I thought about leaving it and miter cutting it on a angle. But I think it will look better just barely above the hood.

Been messing with small things on the truck. If all goes well hoping to make some passes this weekend. Had some spare time earlier so I decided to go ahead and wrap my exhaust never done this before but it turned out decent I would say.

Added a couple more breathers to the truck last night also added a few more frame braces for the 4 link and where the frame had been shortened. Looking to make passes Saturday. Started trying to see how the truck was gonna stage and with the stock booster without a vacuum pump I can only stage the truck to about 1800rpms before the tires break loose. So I decided to overnight a electric vacuum pump to hopefully be able to stage harder before breaking the tires loose. My nitrous outlet kit came in yesterday as well however it probably won’t make it in the truck by this weekend need to tie up some other things more important. So fuel only it is. But it sure does look nice

I honestly lost interest after the steel one piece front clip.
But you reeled me back in with the nitrous kit.

Well. No rest passes tomorrow. Broke the 4 link out of the truck leaving on boost with the slicks. So looks like backhalfing it is. Hopefully knock it out by Rudy’s. Time will tell

However on a plus note. I overnighted a electric vacuum booster from jegs. Now I can stage up to 15psi on asphalt and the brakes are super easy now!

Don't be shy. Show the carnage that way others can learn.

I will take some pics tomorrow. Walked away for the night! It was a piece of 2x2 .25 wall that I used to mount the front brackets. It started to twist the piece of tubing then it led to cracking down the center of the weld. Didn’t hurt anything I don’t believe just have to re do the 4 link setup.

I admire your stick-to-it-iveness.
You really shouldn't have used outriggers to mount the front of the 4 link setup, though. That should be a full width 2"x3" humped crossmember (to clear driveshaft) so the load is distributed properly to the framerails. Dont compromise your safety on that just to save a buck.
Good luck to you.

They weren’t a causal outrigger. They were .25 wall. They had 45s on each side for gussets. But I agree. That’s why I’ve decided to use a leaf with coils for this year until I can make it all right like it should be.

Picture of the twisted bracket. Was still almost vertical at the welds. 45s I had just cut off and realized I didn’t get a pick. So here’s the aftermath without the 45s on the sides.

Video of me working on staging the truck. This was about 13psi. Now with the electric vacuum pump I can hold the truck until right under 3k on asphalt. And that’s with a single piston caliper. Truck feels like it’s gonna be stout.
