Dang Rat, I got the exact same truck!!(except I got 4x4) Keep us posted on upgrades, and oh yea, it does suck some fuel don't it. Predator on 65 makes it sound like that Penzoil commercial where the engine jumps out of the truck. ):h

I'd a thunk you'd buy a new '04 lb7, but I'm glad you didn't.:ro) You have helped all of us with the lly and I THANK-YOU.

Is this truck a going to be an all out race rig?

Nice photo. Everytime I get a picture of the kids by our truck, the boy(5yr) has a hammer and a smile, and the little angel(4yr girl) is stuffing toy animals up the tail pipe.

I'm going to attempt to make it do more than just go fast in a straight line for 1/4mi. :D

Welcome newbe, we have a woman on here that does alot of LLY research. If you need some pointers or help you could probably give her a PM, I'm sure she'd be glad to help you out. Her name is Kat and she drives an LLY called Big Blue.:muahaha:

There is nothing wrong with your television.

We control her HP.

We control her Torque.

We control all that she sees and does.

I don't know about your house Pat, but the use of the words control and her in the same sentence is worth about two weeks on the couch in mine.

Maybe make it go fast while turning also? It would be sweet to see a 7000lb road racer.

I will attempt to make a Low Budget HD Sportstruck.

Good mileage.
12,000 towing capacity.
.85 on a skidpan.
12's on #2, 11's on drugs.

Let's see how close I can come.

So far:

Eagle Alloy 18"x9.5" 101's, shod with BFG KDW Ultra High performance 285/60's and 32"x12"x16" M&H Slicks. 6 rims and 6 tires = $1800. Slicks are $$$, but rims = $130ea and BFG's = $130 ea.

Need to lower and bag it on a budget. Tune it to 480rwhp. Gauges are coming.

Sweeeeeeeet!

I can't wait to see a video of the truck drifting thru a corner, throwing a black smoke screen, and the cars behind, spinning in the grass because they couldn't see the entry into the corner:D
