Its missing swaybars and inner fenders but I consider those 'optional' anyway. I'm probably not going to install a snorkel, the supercharger tends to collapse them. I just upgraded to an odyssey battery. I'm thinking my alternator is bad though as voltage lags under load. ? Had to preform parking lot modifications to get the battery to fit. New one was slightly bigger. Luckily I've got a lightly used snapon toolbox @ work. Saw/file... good enough till I can fab a bracket. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnarlyCarl Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 That front bumper looks nice @NicolasRamos !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicolasRamos Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 That front bumper looks nice [mention=55298]NicolasRamos[/mention] !! Thanks! I have a love hate relationship with that damn front replacement. I had been wanting to get a Fusion bumper for a while, but if it ain't broke don't fix it right. Well after the accident I had the opportunity to order something else. Another frontier gear ranch bumper would have been $1,200 dollars, and a fusion was $1,600. I was ready to pay the difference, but half the Cummins trucks in my area all run Fusion bumpers. I wanted to find something different, but still clean/modern, and found Trail ready bumpers made this for my truck. $1,400 wasn't so bad, until it arrived, in 5 different pieces! The truck accessory place didn't list the fact that this bumper was "modular" which meant bolt together. They told me 5 weeks to build, so I thought complete bumper. Shame on me for not doing enough research. Well it arrived at the body shop on a palate, with no assembly hardware! My body shop called to say that I needed to come look at the bumper to make sure it was what I wanted. I didn't understand what it meant till I got there and saw the pieces on the floor. ?♂️. Called and complained about the fact that it wasn't made aware to me that it would be a bolt together item. They informed me that if I wanted a credit I would have to pay for the return freight of $750. I kept the damn thing but demanded the hardware. I'm gonna take a grinder too it in the spring and strip it. My buddy who is a welder is going to weld it together, and my body shop is going to color match it. I love the way it looks, but if I had known it wasn't a one piece thing I would have just sprung for the fusion.

wildroamer Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 My 2013 XLT short bed. Pic is when I first got her, done some modding since.

I keep my car for construction work cause it gets good mpg which makes running it cheaper than a pickup and allows me to save more money for tools. Around $25 bux a tank every few weeks (ethanol free fuel of course) isn't bad. MORE POWA tm isn't bad either. Makes it more fun to drive right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtkendall Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 I'm currently driving a 1996 Chevy C1500 Silverado, 5.0L V8 Vortec quickly working it's way up to 300K miles. It's a pain in the ass some times but I've learned a lot from it including how to replace a starter, oxygen sensors (and why I hate them), and it's the first vehicle I've changed the oil myself. Changing the oil is what really sparked my interest in tools because I obviously needed wrenches and sockets to complete the task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
