Looks good. I do have a question on your TBI mods. What did you do and did it make a noticable difference?

Its a Scotsdale so the interior is pretty bare bones which I prefer its got a vinyl floor that I romoved the sound deadener from and removed completely from the back and replaced with a cut down rubber bed mat from a pickup. All the Interior parts door panels, dash, seats ect are brown but thats about to change. I have a set of charcole buckets out of a '90s model pickup and all the plastic parts are getn painted to match. Other than that I've got a pretty kicken stereo, blue lights inside the gauge panel, shortened column shift with a B&M tee handle and a grenade (REAL but emptied out) for a t-case shift nob. Pretty much all business inside. The bedliner follows all the way into the pinch weld of the door jams. Yes this thing is cherry which is almost impossible to find living on an island in the gulf of Alaska with all the damn salt in the air. Best part is I bought it bone stock from a friend for dirt cheep!

Oh man you gotta check out turbocity.com!! One of the things they specialize on is TBI upgrades. I only have part of the kit as of right now but not for long! By part of the kit I mean: throttle body spacer, injector pod spacer and adjustable fuel preasure regulator. The spacers alone are a 12 horspower gain which they back up with dyno charts. Yes I could actually feel the difference after installing! You can even buy a complete kit for a reasonable price and its all upgrades from the manifold to the air cleaner. Check em out!

I have been on their site but was never really sure it was worth the money.

DANA 44 front with boxed nuckles and shaved diff

Esplain please!

Ya no prob! On a previous truck I actually snapped the top ear off the axle just inside of the ball joint so i figured on the new axle I would try an beef that area up a little by boxing in the ears to the axle tube. Didnt really know if it would work or if it was even a good idea but I went ahead on er. Well long story short that truck saw more air time than a skateboard at the X-games and never had any issues with bending or breaking those damn ears anymore. This axle I did the same thing but a little more aggresive. As far as shaving the diff I cut all the excess material off the diff top and bottom. I cut a full five eighths of an inch off bellow the diff cover alone! Then I even took the time to clean all the rough casting off of it as well the whole diff ribs and all are as smooth as a babies back side. You can really see the boxing on the axle and even the shaved bottom of the diff in the front on picture. As for the affor mentioned company I know a couple of people that have purchased TBI parts from them and they all have been impressed, money well spent!
