      Wow, very cool. Love the RamBox option. What will the truck be used for?

          Exactly only cooler. Diesel, 42's, 500-600 hp, and Ram Box bed not modified dually bedsides. Howie will be fully functioning on the trails in Moab during Easter Jeep Safari.

            Well today we got around to getting some of the engine mods done, as well as some of the chassis things. Engine mods list so far is a BD emissions compliant exhaust manifold with Screamer modified VGT, BD 12mm CP3 pump, AFE Intake manifold, ARP headstuds, Hamilton 178/208 dpf camshaft with Valve Springs, Dynomite Diesel Balanced 90hp injectors, Fleece distribution block, FASS 150 transfer pump and sump. There are more engine mods to come but we are waiting on the Brown truck to show up with them. Chassis mods were solid cab mounts so there is no flex between the cab and the roll cage so it won't tear things apart, and welding up of the PSC hydraulic assist ram mount so we can turn those big tires with minimal strain. Other supports added to the vehicle are BD steering box brace and a PSC steering box with ports for the ram assist.

                  I was in their shop on Wednesday picking up some new take off jk driveshafts and holy crap is that place amazing.

                  You walk in and you are like this is not diesel place this is a fine restaurant/hotel lobby. Its freaking amazing. The worst part of going back to their shop is you realize it sucks being poor LOL. The second worst part is your realize how small 35's are and how good 40's would look. I saw more 40-42's floating around back there.

                  Very cool indeed.

                    Thanks Jeff, I remember you coming in. I was the one elbow deep in the Mega Cab XL truck doing some engine work. We are pretty proud of newer location and definitely want it to be an experience when customers visit. Hope those JK parts worked out for you and our motto here is 40's are the new 35. LOL.

                      Did you guys not use the AEV hydraulic assist kit for this build? If you didn't, why not?
                      I've been wanting to add a hydro assist to my truck with 37s. Are there any cons to installing it on a daily driver?

                        We run hydraulic assist on everything whether it be 37's or 40's it is the way to go. Completely takes any weird steering miscues out of the wheel like massive potholes or anything. I didn't know AEV were even doing a hydro assist kit and we have run PSC on everything. If your wonder if it is worth it, I guarantee that you will want it on everything after having it on one truck.

                          Current updates. Brown truck finally showed up so we got the trans back with the new updated input shaft, while it was getting that done the valve body separator plate upgrade was done to maximize the pressure increase from the trans tuning, and the BD deep dish trans pan was installed. Then we focused our attention on the atmosphere portion of the build adding another turbo from ATS. Their new emissions compliant compound set ups using a modified Aurora 5000. The real beauty of the ATS kit however is the cast manifold that positions the extra turbo and allows the factory exhaust to hook right up to the stock location. Can't wait to get the cab back on and start driving. Next is figuring out where we are going to gain 18" so we can attempt to fit the exhaust under the bed.

                              Here is where we left the project last night, time to finish buttoning up all of the engine connection and working on the exhaust components. Lots to do still but chipping away.

                                We are moving right along, fighting for every inch to be able to fit all the emissions stuff. Whose idea was that? It is a challenge for sure but we are excited to see how all of the parts work in this configuration. We have also removed all of it's innards so that we can start work on the cage. Some semblance of light forming at the end of the tunnel really looking forward to driving this sucker.
