Haven't really had a vehicle to play around with since the mustang. So, last September I bought this from my dad with about 96,000 miles on it. Since I have had it I have rebuilt the turbo with parts from KC Turbos(10 blade turbine wheel, Billet 11 blade compressor wheel, rebuild kit with 360 washer), Diamond Eye 4" exhaust with MBRP tip, BulletProof water pump and manual fan clutch mod, Coolant filter setup, AFE air box, 2003 cold side metal CAC tube, and an SCT x4 tuner. I also changed the grill for the Raptor style, added a bull bar and changed out the factory fog lights for the KC Gravity LED's (not pictured). I also added a ProComp bumpsteer kit to combat the "Death Wobble".

By the end of the year I hope to have my EGR deleted, a BulletProof air to oil cooler set up of some sorts, newer model tow mirrors, and a ProComp leveling kit installed.

Since I had the truck figured I'd buy a camper also. Never thought much about owning one, but after using it is a lot of fun and the kids love it. Plus, staying in camp grounds is so much cheaper than hotels.

I had to 'right click' and open in different tab to see the pics; however, now the pictures show up fine. (Not sure why they are working now... it doesn't show that the post was edited.)

I like it ok, my dad was the one that put it on when he ha the truck. it is the turbo back setup with the muffler. Sounds good when you fo WOT, and has some drone around 55-60 mph. If I was to have picked the exhaust I would have chose MBRP. Lastly, where the exhaust meets the turbo is a bitch to get it in the right spot to fully get the clamp on, but other that that I have had zero problems with it.

That is the route I am going to go. I may design my own to save some money. I have been looking at the Mishimoto and Fluidyne oil coolers at Summit Racing. Got a plan in my head to plumb a secondary oil filter in also.

Just did the blue spring fuel upgrade and changed out the fuel banjo bolts for the update 6.4 style ones. We will see how this does for my performance and fuel milage.

Very nice looking truck and camper man. Using a camper or an RV is a much more enjoyable way to travel in my opinion. It can be much cheaper, and you can meet some very interesting people.
