It looks great. I like the idea of a black bumper. I love color matching, but I can't stand the sea of white that some people do. The black will really pull good together with the rest of the truck.

yes I agree on that too, my buddy has an 08 mega cab mirrors painted white, interior pieces painted white, grille is all white, bumpers are all white, door handles, looks like someone taped off the windows and painted the whole truck white, I think it looks cheesy. he also has 20x12's with -44 offset with 35x12.50's and an 8" lift...:fustrate: I think the black is necessary to break it up some. I want to get my windshield tinted 50% too very soon, I think it will really help finish the front of the truck....:D plus hopefully it will make it so i don't have to wear sunglasses anymore. and take the glare off at night of oncoming traffic.

ya, i do, I don't like to do that, because then I can't tell what if that one thing actually did anything even. and I don't like buying stuff that doesn't do anything....

I would without a doubt purchase a ported intake manifold.

whats the difference between stage 3 and 3x are the tig welded o-ring bungs that much better over stainless pipe plugs? are they safer, excuse my ignorance but i'm not too familar with the intakes and issues that may arise with stainless pipe plugs. clearly the tig welds are better but i mean what's wrong with the stainless pipe plugs, not as reliable?

My guess would be seizing.

Pipe is a metal on metal seal with interference. So you can wear out the holes sooner or later along with not being able hold a consistent protrusion depth. Oring, the worse that could happen, you cut a oring, change it done. Plus you can hold the protrusion depth on the oring plug a lot easier, helping minimize air turbulence.

Dropped my tank for a sump install and harpoon mod. I've had the sump for 6 months but haven't touched it until now.
