Sure! No problem! I will try to get some posts of the motor, interior, and wheels as soon as work slows down.

ell with the way things are going, if you are still in the AF, it shouldn't be a problem for work to slow down. I'm in the navy and the way things are going around here with $$ it's ridiculous. The only real issue for me is our bouts are a little cheaper to send out so busy is all we know.

Here is a picture of what the wheels look like. They are 15x14 double beadlock from a place called USA 6x6. I heard they are no longer in business. If they still are, I wouldn't recomend them to anybody. I had alot of problems with them and had to send the wheels back several times.

Right now the motor is only putting out 500 to the rear wheels. Between the intercooler and swapping pulleys its only making 3 pounds boost. its very streetable like that but still sucks down the gas. I'm planning on bringing the boost back to around 8-10.

It's taken some time to get pics of the interior. I've been busy fishing on my time off. Hard to imagine out here in Az but it's been great the past month. Anyway here is the finished interior. I will post some pics of the motor soon. I just changed the cam to a Lunati with a custom grind.

hydro nice truck but i question your "club" you know how easy it is to cut threw the steering wheel and remove it besides that lifted most criminals wont see it till the open the door. we did a little form on here on how to make a kill switch and hide it. so even if they did break into it they wouldnt be able to start it

Ahh yes The Club... I only have it as a deterrent. I also have a disable switch hidden as well. I also have pad locks that I was able to fit through both of the rear brake rotors. I had to put an orange streamer and zip tie it to the steering wheel so I won't forget about them! The locks are Master and they have an octagon shaped shank on them which makes them very hard to cut. I had to test a similar lock this week as I had on on my locker at work. It actually cracked and broke the teeth on the bolt cutters and barely creased the lock.
Thank you for the concern though. I've had this truck stolen once not long after I first got it. I'm constantly thinking about what I can do to prevent it from happening again so I definitely take all tips into consideration.
