yea it pretty much sucks. today marks one week in the shop. i have my daily driver still, but my truck is by far my favorite i kind of prepared myself for these little delays so its not a huge setback or anything but i guess a week isnt that big of a deal considering all the work that's been going into it and all the custom fabricating and stuff. i'll be leaving at 7am 2morrow so i'll be right there when they open up in the morning tho

getting a color/night vision backup camera for the rear hooked to a 7" LCD rear view mirror, parking sensors front and back, and a brighter reverse lighting system the parking sensors will be installed soon as i get the roll pan and start on the body/paint mods because i want those color-matched to be hidden. thats the bad thing about having the truck away so long, since i can't enjoy driving it i enjoy shopping for it lol

it has one light vertical dent on the passenger side yeah. not in the corner just right in the middle of the flat area. i wouldve taken care of it already but i knew i was getting a roll pan the day i bought it so i havent even bothered messing with it. i think thats the only dent it has ill give it another check tomorrow

just called to check in on the truck and it's definately a go for tomorrow. everything's done and the steps are about half-way done, so will be finished up early tomorrow. the truck's already aligned and everything's tip top. eric even drove it around town a lil bit and down the freeway for a while (hopefully he filled it back up lol). for those of you that have been asking about gas mileage and acceleration, you'll be surprised to know there's very little difference over stock according to eric. and for comparison he drove it last week before he started the work. he said there's subtle differences but the truck is no where even close to the rock i thought it would be. it accelerates just fine, stops just fine, corners with no problems, and takes hills like a champ. he said it definately feels heavier, but not slower. according to him, it feels "solid" like a tank, and purrs all the way down the freeway passing other vehicles with ease. the only big difference he noted was that when going uphill it kicks into lower gear sooner than it did before, and when braking you need slightly more stopping room but not by much. and judging from my overhead console my MPG dropped by about 4-5. so all in all the ride has been drastically improved with these additions. and this is with the stock 3.55s!! let's see what the 4.88s are gonna do it i cant wait til 2morrow work is slow so i'm so bored just waiting...
