Well I started out with a stock 08 Colorado 2.9 manual. The things I have done to it so far are the supersparkz, ptb, super 44 muffler, Dual "ram" air intake ( 2 hoses that feed air from under the headlights through a crack plus stock air fender outlet), AEM dry filter, resonator delete, and truck bed cover. I will post more pictures later when I can take some. I want to do much more over the next few years when I have more money so it will be a long project! Here is a picture of my friend welding in the muffler for me:

Re: My Project (limeswap tune and color matched instrument cluster)

Fellow engineering student! We should really start a engineering student/alumni group on here.

Truck looks great by the way!

Congrats! I graduate May 2017 (hopefully, 5 years in total school) for Computer Engineering!

Re: My Project (Eaton Truetrac)

Did you not have factory G80, or did you just want a TrueTrac?

Your video is private btw Jaymes!

Updated with video, it should not be private anymore.

It came with the open diff. I got the truetrac to help with overall driving in sand/mud/snow because my wifes mom lives in a place where those conditions occur and I've gotten stuck before. A plus is it helped a little at the drag strip.

WOW you roasted him off the line!

Haha They don't really do too much on the track except for the occasional stock vehicle. It will be a lot quicker when I put a turbo on it...It will probably be more than a year before that happens though. Ill make it look nicer since that has to be put on the backburner for now. I need a house and another daily to start the turbo build.

Since that is a long while from now I'm wanting to focus on aesthetics: different tails, new wiper cowl, a custom tonneau cover I'm going to make with a custom electromagnet locking system ( no mechanical linkage :naughty: ), coat where the tonneau cover will rest in white mostaliner (the paint wore some), restore the wheel well liners, debadge a little, touch up the frame and exhaust, etc, and possibly if I have more money (doubtful) get a cervinis hood. Maybe a few other things I can think of later on before the turbo.

Well put it this way:

Ford designed a car to be fast and sporty with a dohc v8 engine. GM designed our trucks to be the little shit child continuation of the s-series (that turned out to form our awesome community) with a dohc four cylinder (in your case). On paper that ford should have won, but our trucks are surprising like that :lmao:

Sounds like you have some fun plans coming up

Looking forward to seeing that tonneau cover. I have one more project coming up (after the efan, valve cover gaskets, new spark plugs again, intake manifold gaskets, and a full check up on the top end while im that far in) that is kind of on the down low for the time being.

I thought your key lanyard was a huge rust scratch :lmao:

Good to hear that you are getting new tires though at a very good price!

I have heard good and bad things about Discount Tire.
