Cool deal man! Yeah I bought a new radiator already, n my setup came with a modified blue fan clutch.........I have read that the orange is the way to go with a supercharger so I'll probably sell the blue one and get an orange one. Again thanks for the reply. I will read @murf thread as well before I start.


Nice touch LCP!!! Lol.
 
Meth also double for late nite camp fire entertainment:rolleyes:

Purely for scientific testing methods - don't try this at home! ;) That may or may not be LCP's hand in the photo....

I figured I would get some recap of 2016 items in here and the last few mods I missed putting in.

took a trip to Michigan's Upper Peninsula this spring and rode some trails, then ended up on the Two Hearted river where it runs into Lake Superior to do some fishing. Great weather and good times.

You found a way to wash the road salt off that 80, that's for sure!;)

Brown trout? If yeah, that's a couple #'s over a typical one out here (not counting our 'awesome' steelhead fishing:()
 
Had a great 3600 mile trip to Colorado in late summer to camp in Ouray then head north to Loveland to pick up my daughter from her summer job.

Back to the mods. I got in on the Prinsu roof rack gb. I coated my own rack gloss black metallic to match the bumpers. Did some changes to the way it mounts too. All in all, an excellent product.

Here's a picture of it on the truck with my youngest daughter driving it for the first time with her learners permit

The other big change was to re powder coat my wheels in bronze. Still getting used to it but I think I like it better.

That is a steelhead, it looked pretty old even though it wasn't huge. Caught a few rainbows but lost a ton of them. There are browns in there too. Good thing we caught some because I realized that day I never packed the steaks for that nights meal!
 
I like the bronze wheels better too ~

Thanks. I wanted something different, and the grey metallic I had on the wheels was good but it really didn't match any other grey on the truck. I really like the factory bronze tint on the windows so my thought was to tie those colors together.

Really mall crawler stuff here, I know. Maybe I should pick out drapes for my windows next.

In my own defense though, I coat hundreds of wheels each year and I am always looking for something new.

Matter of fact, gotta go coat some Chevelle wheels right now.
