Nice truck, I catch hell all the time too for not going off road. I love mine with the turbo, i got a smallish cam just for the idle
. I built the tranny with a circle D 2800 stall and this thing rides. Im lifted on 37's and bet im in low 13s. What did you do to keep it cool? I just had to order a Ron Davis rad. That was a nice $850 bucks. I hope it works cause i could make it run nice and warm before turbo install. Keep up the quality build

The Magnuson supercharger has an intercooler system with a front mounted heat exchanger. So far, the temps haven't been any higher than before I had the supercharger installed.

Wait, wait....you, uh, you put a winch on it? 
Seriously?
What the hell for!?
Your pretty blue flames are a giant billboard that says "I don't off-road" and yet you decided to mount a winch.
Everything else kinda made sense up to this point. "I want a slow 4x4 with mud tires, but I want it to go fast and look pretty while I'm at the grocery store."
Perhaps you could enlighten a poor soul like myself and tell me what the winch will be used for other than blocking airflow to your intercooler?

Shots fired, but I'm ok with that. After all, look at the title of this thread.
Truth is, it's quite common to see winches on vehicles with 4x4 or "off road" heritages at major car shows.
Granted, my pretty blue flames and undercarriage that sparkles better than most Hummer upper body panels would indicate that I don't intend to raise hell with it in the mud.
Another truth is, if my wife and I ever get bored hauling home trophies, or if the display case just gets too full, we still have the capability of joining all the other fellas in the mud or on the trails. That's part of the beauty of it.......functionality to go with the good looks.
