I got the motor in and passenger side front supsension done. I mounted the rear lift bars. I would have the bags in but I have to mount the air tank before I can mount the rear bags due to little space. I would have had the air tank mounted because all the valves are mounted on the tank but one of my ports I need to screw my compressor into is boogered up some how. it must have came that way because I havent messed with the tank other then moving the mounts and painting it and the holes were plugged when I had it painted. I bought a tap to fix the bung. Soon as I get the exhaust built I will put the cab on.

I tapped the bung on the air tank and mounted it I still have one valve to mount and hook one compressor up but you get the idea, and here is a shot of my firewall it aint fancy but its sturdy and sealed and plenty good for a daily dragger. Man shit gets dirty fast where I live look at how dirty the frame is and all its done is sit out side.

oh yeah I got rid of the hydro boost I decided it was to much money and more of a hassle then I wanted to deal with right now, I took it back to napa and got a full refund. I better get my ass in gear IM running out of time to work on it. i hope to put the cab on tomarrow evening. *crosses fingers*

I think I got enough friends coming over to help me move the cab tonight. But I hit a major set back. the place where my wiring is supposed to go is now blocked by the bigger booster I will be running untill I get a smaller hot rod booster, which even the smaller booster might not clear. I think Im going to have to do what 96dragginSdime did and pull the wiring though the firewall and tuck it under the dash. Which means I to get creative with a plate to cover the hole where my wiring went though because I already painted the firewall and dont want to weld on it.

naw its only a slim 5 gallon, I got a chrome 3 gallon that was going to go in the bed but I might not use it I signed up for the boost system and I will probably try to get a chrome 5 gallon to be the reserve tank for the boost system. I the 5 gallon fits in there good because I made the lift bars around the tank. I want everything I could fit under the bed this time.


I started assemlby I ran around my truck for a half hour not knowing where to start now Im going to go buy some dyno mat since I ditched the stock crap that was on the fire wall. My friend bought a carpet kit for his toyota and it had like 5 inches of extra carpet on either side, so Im going to order soem carpet from the same company and hope I get that much extra fabric so it will cover up my step.

I hate wiring I spent all day wiring and building a gas pedal mount and it looks like nothing was done. I might get some of the interior in tonight but I wouldnt count on it. then I have to assembly the front end and wire the valves

I want to see this done too. Im just dragging my heels to finish it, trying to make sure everything works perfect. I still have a bed to do I might not even drive it till the beds done my towns full of haters that would be like "he drove that truck without a bed for a couple weeks hes so ghetto." And I rather let it sit for a couple weeks then put up with that sh!t. And Im runnning out of money faster then I can get it so thats slowing me down a lot.

I know how the piece by piece sh1t goes I started with front only, up down, and one 1 compressor, looking back on it it sucked but I try to build whatever I can to save cash for the stuff I can't build.

Small update I wired the compressors up and ones not turning on, I know they both work because I hooked to my battery to see if they come on. I think I used the relay I pulled off one of friends trucks because it went out, so Im gonna sheck that this weekend I have to much school till then.

Heres a pic of my wiring the wires coming off the vavles got cleaned up a little more but I ran all the wires though the notch nice and hidden and I picked up some clips to mounthe airline to the notch so it dont move anywhere

I still have to mount the rear brake line but thats about it I think.
