I need to get some pics up, but getting a few things done. The most important package got held at the border and is still there, so me and the vendor are trying to get it sorted out. I'm also working on plan B, just in case these gaskets and O-rings don't show up.

Unreal.  This is the longest process ever.  If I did t already have no hair, I'd have pulled it all out by now.

I am really looking forward to making some real progress. Got a few things done, but wanted to get in some family time as well.

Just waiting on custom coolant lines for the new Turbos, wastegates and some gaskets.

Some stuff will show up tomorrow, so I can at least get the Manifolds bolted on.

Painted the calipers and dressed the engine with the harness, mocked up some adapters for the wastegates and started getting the fuel system upgrades together.

The held parts showed up today!!! I can’t tell you how great this is. I was almost ready to tell the vendor to re-ship everything and it was about $500 in parts.

It’s going to be a busy weekend boys!!

almost there. Should be firing it up tonight. Just some under hood stuff and exhaust.

It took a while, but I’m happy that I found a oil cooler spot that works with the skid plate and winch. I’ll monitor temps, but may end up putting a fan on it.

I’ll wait till the end to put the hood back on.

I look at that truck and think man there is so much missing off of it.  Then I wonder what the test of the garage looks like.  Haha.  There's gotta be stuff everywhere.  It always amazes me people don't lose stuff in situations like this.

Finally! 

Now if only I could find that hood that I misplaced somewhere in the garage.  If I was your wife, I would have hidden the hood at the neighbors house or something just to really blow your mind.  Like how do you lose something like the hood. Just for the LOLz.
