Lol I had to actually borrow them to lower it an make it easier to push around. An i think they will too, especially on a radial tire

New 4wd shifter mounted that was given to me. Came out of a ramcharger and is taller than the ones from the factory in our trucks. With being strapped in the seat, this shifter is within arms reach. Will definetly be nice at the track, no more reaching down and over for 4WD shifts! Correct shift pattern as well since I'm running the passenger side output NP241. The truck was pulled outside an started a few weekends ago, and everything went great other than a few minor things that were addressed. Currently waiting on my rear driveshaft to come back from the shop to get this thing moving. Once that's In, intercooler, doors, hood and hood stack piping are next to be put on. More to come!

Little slow on the update with attending TS but a lot of progress was made throughout last week and the truck is now back home. Was taken to my friends to get body parts hung and some fab work done as well. New hoodstack piping fabbed up and updated to prevent any issues with the paint. Doors assembled, hung, hood also installed.

Mishimoto 2nd gen intercooler mounted. Good amount of cutting was done to the core support but after many hours an hard work by my friend getting this fabbed up it fits perfect! I'd say there's not much left of a core support anymore lol. Mounting is similar to a 2nd gen. A lot of modifying was done to the secondary safety latch to get it to clear the intercooler. Grille assembly also fits perfect and no modification was needed there.

Precision performance air shifter mounted, only thing it lacks is a controller and the air side can be hooked up. Asked for a sturdy, stable shifter mount and that's what I got lol. May seem like a little overkill but the whole mount weighs the same as the shifter.

Slowly starting to look like a truck again. Only have the bed left to get painted then it's just radials, a few small items and she will be ready to hit the track hopefully sometime this next month! Will be sure to keep everyone updated.

Thank you, and as of right now no updates sadly. About the most I've done since then is washed it lol. Been taking care of some of my debt and had also been working on my 97 I have and getting it sold to finish this. That truck is now sold so be looking to see a fully finished truck here by the first week of August :rockwoot:. Shooting to have it at the track for some testing before SDX but it will be there at the event for sure if everything goes as planned.

I'm going to say 6.90s/6.80s way it sits right now, maybe even 6.70s after I get good at driving it and everything figured out. This winter will be going ahead an getting a cage put in it, changing a few other things, then putting some nitrous too it and shooting for 9s.
