Thanks man! I'll say my short road turned in to a semi-long road, but I also had some "scope creep" along the way. Keep your focus and your truck will turn out just fine.
---------------------
I got some further run time on the engine today, actually got it warm enough to find out I thought I had flipped closed loop off but didn't. O2 sensors don't read well with no exhaust, well, it's really they are only 2 inches from the exit so they get washed out and the air/fuel readings are junk. So when the ECU flipped to closed loop when it reached temp, it struggled to put the right fuel in and stalled. Luckily I have enough experience in all this EFI stuff it didn't bother me and I didn't panic. So hopefully I'll get some more run time on it tomorrow. Before that though, I had to fix a few leaks, one which required a new olive/ferrule in a power steering line (that sucked).
In the meantime, more pics.
I can actually take a photo of the engine compartment now, so here it is! Note: the inner wheel tubs will get some further mods / repainted this summer when the weather is more friendly to spray expensive paint. I'm not too thrilled with the A/C lines so those may get hacked whenever I take it to someone to charge the A/C.
Man I love how the stance turned out. I'm so used to seeing the truck with a huge rake that seeing it leveled out still blows my mind.
