The day finally arrived and the new motor was put through a few paces. Below is the truck’s first dyno day where it made 361hp at the tires before the dyno computer took a crap. The truck sounds good under load and can’t wait to throw a beat down on some unsuspecting folks. Let me…
First of all, I have the best women in my life. Sorry to break it to you all. Why? Here is why. Joy bought me up a 360Fly 4K camera for my birthday and I finally was able to try it out. The video is just of the drive to work yet the whole town…
In May I went all crazy. Yep. All crazy. As a life long dream and goal, I’ve always wanted to own a hot rod and building the Silverado all these years has been part of the goal. From the RideTech and DJM suspension, to the Monster Transmission, paint job, custom roll pan and exhaust, electric…
If you own a 2003-2006 Chevy Silverado you know how hard it is to find lights that match the truck’s sharp angles. Many aftermarket LED light assemblies use cats-eyes, or halos, in their products and those setups don’t match these years very well. Personally, the round LEDs look like shit because they’re so out of…
Finally getting to publishing a bit of info on the latest Silverado upgrades. Early October it was decided to do a maintenance item, water pump. In doing so, it was only fitting to upgrade parts of the 5.3l. Right? Since you’re in there, might as well add some bolt-ons. Being the 5.3l has 180k miles…
Hot damn! Earlier this week I had the great opportunity to do a product review for Smatree but before I get into the details how about some background. In July I joined GoProFanatics.com, a GoPro user forum, to learn how to better edit video, learn new techniques like timelasping, intros, work flow, and storyboarding. Other…
Today kicked ass! Like more ass than I’ve ever kicked! It was the Big Rock Classic Car & Truck show in Duvall Wa. The shows was packed with a lot of great cars & trucks and people. Before getting into it, I would like to say the people, attendees, staff, all the vendors, sponsors, and…
The next step in the Silverado’s upgrades is now complete – the exhaust and roll pan. The roll pan is a Carriage Works with square cutouts and matching chrome exhaust tips. Hoping for an aggressive yet not over the top look. Thinking it would be a weekend job, HA. Wrong again Tobster. As to avoid…
Today concluded the second largest step in the roll pan project, putting paint on. A few weeks ago the truck when to Dreamers, in Everett, where they welded the Carriage Works pan in, doing one hell of a job, and since then I’ve just been keeping the rust down. With Sun out and armed with…
#Fucking sweet!! Thanks for the timely delivery!
Well I did it; my first ever truck show. Sittin Pretti hosted Summer Slam 2013 at the Arlington Airport and being that it was so close to home I said “what the heck”. The truck has gone through a fair amount of modifications but compared to the other trucks mine looked stock with a lift…
Next weekend will mark the first truck, or car, show I’ve ever do. It has sorta came up by accident. Last Friday the Silverado was detailed here locally and while there I seen the Summer Slam flyer. Initially I thought to visit the show and talk truck and gather some ideas but then entering crossed…
