I bought the wrench when I went to non run flats. Found out that I have a lug wrench that doesn’t go deep enough to remove rear wheel bolts. Been bringing this with me on longer drive for 3 years..

That’s pretty funny. I should check if that tool fits my wheels too because I have it in the tool kit.

On longer drives I carry an impact gun and socket.

Few more tweaks and it will be ready for prime time. Will make a separate post about it when they are done and make up a few more sets for anyone that wants a set in the upcoming weeks.

(truck usually isn't this messy - all the funky white residue is from the powder needed for the 3d scanner I used to scan the front of the truck when I was designing them)
I have a set of these and the fit is awesome. I hope to test them as soon as my Pure Turbo stage 2 turbos show up, it’s been 6 weeks now.

Man, it was tricky one. But best mod I made on this car.

I started simply, disassembled car from underneath, remove dust shield, then transmission radiator protection arm, then fmic holder plastic, remove fmic clips and disconnect boost pipe and charge pipe. fmic tightly mounted even if nothing holds it i spent half hour to remove it without damaging anything, finally I remove it. But when I tried to install new one, it wouldn't fit I tried from different angles but without luck. Then I disassembled whole front side. remove bumper remove bumper holder and diffuser. the it fits, but I spent 2 hours connecting charge pipe and boost pipe, they goes in hole perfectly but clips wouldn't lock them, after trying several tactics I finally lock them and triple check them then I assembled everything and flash stage 2+ car pulls as hell ))

Updated my trans tune with Rod again (Sutphin Tuning). This is the last update until I finally get his torque Converter aka the GameChanger .

His trans tune really helps the 35D shift muuuuuch nicer than stock. I can only imagine swapping out the TC.

Added some $40 amazon grills because the chrome ones bother me. Mostlikely going to paint the oem ones black. Didnt have my glasses on when I bought them and didnt know it was the double slat (double louver) grills. I like the bigger slats, looks meaner.

Bought some h&r lowering springs, was supposed to get em installed today but the shop double booked. Will have to wait till next year 🥲. Paid for 2 day shipping with priority delivery for nothing lol. RIP

- looking to get the dinan s1 tune, catless downpipes, and xhp trans tune in january. Check out my channel, will be documenting this build (yes build because i have custom parts im trying to get made for this thing lol).
