no hot tub lol funny thing is it used to have a topper on it!

well the exhaust is on and i LOVE it! he put the tip exactly where i wanted it. the glasspack sounds wonderful. i'm happy knowing it will get louder. inside it sounds pretty much the same around town/highway. but outside it has a nice growl!

 

[alaskanexpy]

washed her up today after having the glass pack installed along with a new 3.5" chrome tip. it looks and sounds GREAT!!!! i'm very happy with the sound and placement of the tip.

i did alot of washing yesterday lol so i added a few pics of the '56.

i'll get a vid tomorrow

sooo... you gonna gimme a ride in that '56 if i ever go up there? looking good. i want a tip so i can get my exhaust louder.

 

[tsingson]

ive done that. do you have this problem i have? i think i have it cause i have the wrong tank, but when your down hill it says less gas and starves the engine, and up hill says you have more, and when you turn right it starves the engine too? haha they are all looking good! im going to wash mine tomorrow after i do fuel and air filter.

Panda,

I had the same issues with my Bronco before but I realized it was with the way the float in the gas tank was. It was made to be reverse of the normal. May be your problem but I could also be wrong.

 

[panda24619]

what problem? the float is backwards so its misreading the gauge? or the float being backwards starves the engine?

few pics of the 3 together

out at the lake house


fire!



this was 3:30AM



headed down to a ice creme shop in Huston AK



back to the lake house to get the jetskis out.






back at the house, ready to go out on the water

 

[panda24619]

what you dont need a full wet suit, or survival suit, while out there? haha how cold is that water? i complain when its in the 60s here.

 

[alaskanexpy]

it was atleast 70* out and sunny, slight breeze. the water was prolly in the 50s maybe. it was alittle chilly(the water) but there were alot of people swimming so maybe it wasnt that bad lol

 

[alaskanexpy]

i did a oil change, then sea foamed her she runs like a top! mpg's keep going up too i think the exhaust and my foot not being so heavy has helped.




then i did alittle flexing poser style




on a side note you have to love alaska, i took this pic of my excursion at 3:30am!

 

[walnuts4x4]

yeah that day light at night was hard to get used to... but was even weirder flying into Seattle and seeing darkness again...

 

[panda24619]

i want to go to see that. wake up and its dark go to sleep and its day, depending on the time of year. i need to do my sea foam. get my friend over here to do it!

 

[alaskanexpy]

well, i have to say not even a year later and over 10,000 miles later. this truck has to be one of the best and i mean BEST $2,500 i've ever spent!!!!

first time i filled her up

August 9, 2010

63,989
Odometer

26.7
Gallons

$3.339
Price/Gallon

$89.00
Total

i have changed spark plugs, changed oil and filled her up with gas. no unexpected repairs at all (knock on wood!) it keeps racking up the miles and asking for more! it came with new shocks all around, new brakes all around.

i'm very happy with this truck, plan to add a 3rd row seat and a programmer maybe some 1.5" rear lift spacers. maybe a few other things but i'm very happy with this truck stock and i have no problem with that.

fits in very well with my fleet


i cant wait to see her pass 100k!
