Default Stir the pot

Decided to log on, been a while.


Been busy doing body work to the ram.. had an encounter with a pair of keys and a certain a-hole in my town that did a full key around my truck so i took the liberty to fix it myself and am painting the truck a hot rodz flat black and getting rid of ALL the chrome. The motor is pretty much tuned now with the blower and i added a small shot of nos to help with low rpm surges. I got a set of track tires and am lowering the truck with a 4.5/6 drop with trac bars. Ive shedded a good 4-500 lbs from teh truck including gutting the tailgate and a carbon fibre hood and removing the factory hitch. Things are lookin up for the cute 3.7L. I still have yet to see another v6 short cab short box in my city.. feels good to be different. Anyway il be more active in about 3 weeks when all the body work is done.

Cheeers Dodge Forum..

P.S its getting warmer out u know what that means..

i might be the first auto x entrant in a full size truck this year :P

Everything sounds good except the guy keying your truck. You need to get that thing to the track and a dyno ASAP.

just got home from the hospital. at work this morning i had a 110 lb drum on a pallet about 7 feet in the air hit me in the head and knock me clean out. woke up in hospital with a goose egg like no other. Hooray for Bruised Brain, No sleep, blurred vision and a couple other wonderful things.. Truck was finished painted last night, i have it curing in the shop so i got a couple days to recover and hopefully have it all back together by sunday if my head stops hurting :P
