Ugh. Ordered parts from a dealership earlier in the week. I went in today to pick them up and they were never ordered and didn't have any record of me ordering them. At least they didn't charge my card (that I gave them) and the parts weren't important? Also, the lady who helped me today was awesome. Frustrating, seeing as how the dealership is a couple hours away.

that sucks, when i buy oem crap i have it sent to the dealership to save on shipping. i always have to call to make sure the parts are in because they never give me any updates and it's impossible to tell from their online system
had to do it again this week, here's my latest score:

There's really too much to list but It's got a built motor, full ETS rotated kit with a Garrett 3076r, all necessary fuel/air/cooling/electical supporting modifications, interior swap, $4500 in sound upgrades, Endless zeal track coilovers with Whiteline supporting suspension mods, full 6 speed swap, and so much more. It'll be on a dyno within the next few weeks, I'll post up my numbers and pics then. Shooting for a conservative 450awhp on a low reading dyno.

Just finished this bad bitch. Only a few more break in miles then its time to put her on the dyno and see what she puts out.
Can't wait to see the results.
I got tuned yesterday...
Made 272/315 and the car feels great. Stock 2015 on this dyno makes ~215. Just waiting on my intercooler to come in, then I'll do some TGV deletes and I should be good for a while.

the last few weekends this is what i've been up to, it SHOULD have been a 1 day job but i stretched it out to 2 weekends because i'm slow and have no idea what i'm doing and i had to wait for some parts.

i started this job to fix an oil leak, front and rear valve cover gaskets. this is the furthest i've been into tearing things down.
once valve covers removed, i went ahead and cleaned them up as best as i wanted to:

cleaned up the uim/lim interface:

new gaskets cause i broke the old ones oops:
replaced spark plugs while i was in there:
pcv hoses were brittle as fck and broke when i took them off so i ordered replacements, which is why this project really dragged out so long. napa tried to give me some gm crap that didn't fit.
splurged on some sweet valve stem caps while i was buying dealership crap
all in all this is the most advanced work i've done on the car. confidence is building and i'm glad it all fired up and ran flawlessly the third time i tried
today i installed a rear sway bar. found one on amazon for $cheapish listed in "used" condition. looked pretty fresh when it came out of the box.
had to modify some of the brackets to work, nbd
i had a lqtm moment when everything was cleaned up and i was going to put the jack back under the axle to remove jack stands
tldr- 15 yrs old, 223k miles and runs like a top

Sure you will.
Four wheel drive means nothing without tires. The second most common vehicle to see in the ditches around here is a lifted truck. SUVs are the most common. Just because you have 4-wheel go, doesn't mean you have 4-wheel stop.

You have two pretty sweet builds. Must be nice to have a daily & a project car. I just can't get past this movement towards cambered wheels. Yours is not excessive, which I can appreciate, but anything beyond that is the car equivalent of a person having duck feet. It looks horrendous and you'll never be a great athlete with duck feet.
