I'm sure that he would do a complete paint job. Just go down there and BS with him a little and he'll throw you a price. It's behind Schrier on 65th and L. (North side of L)

Driver's side is solid too. It's mostly done... getting ready to put my summer wheels on (20" blades). The only other thing I was considering is a drop, just not sure how I want to go about that yet. I may be getting a 2nd car this spring so I have something to drive in the winter besides my dime. Otherwise any further drop would be too impractical. Also thinking about a hard tonneau cover but need the $$. I saw that red truck at schrier and yeah, that is WAY overpriced. Probably a 4 cylinder too...

His name is Ruben, he said he's the owner and he probably speaks the best (maybe the only) english of his crew.

Re: Omaha, NE people (or surrounding areas) Chime in!

ok so i just got off work at the hyvee on 90th and center, and earlier this morning i would say around 9-9:30 i saw a white extended cab chevy with a drop looked to be static and dual exhaust and you kept revving your engine. i was wondering if you are on this site. if you are then you have a nice truck

Re: Omaha, NE people (or surrounding areas) Chime in!

i hate when guys have v6's and exhausts.. ecspecially when they rev up like ricers. i personally think exhausts should only be on v8's or high powered tuners but thats IMO. but was it an s10 or silverado?

I have duals on my xtreme but it does not sound remotely like a ricer. I hate those fart can mufflers as much as anyone...

Re: Omaha, NE people (or surrounding areas) Chime in!

I'm rocking some ricer dual exhaust too. Under 2500RPM it's not loud at all, but up around 3500 she starts singing a little more than I like, but I wouldn't say it sounds like a fart can at all.

Oh, and I've gotten people's attention by revving the piss out of my truck a few times. I don't do it to try and look cool though. Most people just don't pay attention to horns and if you're into cars you usually look when you hear something winding up.

Mine's really the opposite. Just a deep rumble from my flowmaster 40. I agree with you on the horn thing, I get people's attention much better with a few grunts of the exhaust.

Re: Omaha, NE people (or surrounding areas) Chime in!

i had a ram with a 360 in it with an exhaust that i made and it was loud.. sounded sooo mean!! i just dont want to put an exhaust on my v6 cuz in my own opinion it will NEVER sound like a v8. but are there any noticable power gains for puttin an exhaust on a 4.3 v6? i know the stock y-pipe is frickin tiny lol

I think I've seen that truck around. A super focking clean solid red standard cab fleetside sitting with a 4" drop or so on factory ZQ8's?

If it's the same truck that thing is nicer than hell even though it's riding on the early ZQ8 wheels that I don't like that much.

I did notice a slight power gain with mine. That stock muffler is SO restrictive... the air really flows with th
