getting ready for River Shiver

[crushers]

looks almost factory ...

 

[crushers]

the legs tilt the bottom of the seat almost perfectly for a very comfortable angle.
when they are up there is lots of room in the back now, full use of the bare floor.

Mitch is talking about a set of drawers and platform, sadly, if i was to go this route then there is no leg room left ... so doubtful i will go down that road with this truck.

the front door panels installed

the 100 ft kenetic rope is installed on the hangers that clip onto the head rests

so the truck is finished and ready to be shipped. I am looking forward to wheeling in the mountains again.

my other Cruiser, back in the day, on one of the River Shiver runs ...

I'm liking this little truck more and more.

This Machine will be moving the snow out of the way for us @ River Shiver!

sadly, i sent in my cancelation this morning. I was excited as a kid to be going but work dead lines have changed and with Mitch talking heading to the oil patch for work soon i just can't spare the time.

enjoy the event, it is a hoot and if you get a chance to do the "Cabin Creek" run then do that one. nice steep hills, some frozen creeks to cross, deep snow, ice on the north and east faces ... it can be a blast. that run has decades of memories for me.

cheers

Really enjoyed reading your thread, sorry to hear after all your hard work your not going to make the event.

Is that a 3" exhaust you put on there? How does it sound with that Magnaflow on there?

Any chance you could post a video so we can hear this bad boy running?

Thanks

Mitch loves the sound
the wife endures it
i find it a bit loud under acceleration but cruising it is dead quiet.

i will see if i can get a vid uploaded.

 

[ForealBoreal]

any vids since the turbo install wayne?

Off the top of your head do you know the size of the silicon from the 1hd-t turbo airbox lid?

 

[crushers]

3" if i remember correctly.

Edit...Stupid phone...wrong post. Sorry.

Thank you Wayne,

I have another question for your insight. Do you think I will have sufficient room to run a 3" pipe up to the factory cross pipe. I will be having 3" run into my turbo with a reducer and the according reduction or increases in silicon lines to fit as well. I am hoping I will have enough clearance. if I can get more air to the manifold quicker with less restrictions the better, thats my thought process at least.

Any potential flaws to my plan?

run reducer from air box size to turbo inlet size
run enlarger from turbo outlet size to cross over pipe size

don't make it more complicated than it needs to be.
