Yeah, I thought my straight pipe 4" custom system off the turbo was big on my powerstroke back when I built it... Now you can buy a 6" kit!

Good Progress Ryan

Very true Rob. I'm sure once I get it kind of back to a truck I'll feel better about it again.

Thanks man. Yeah, 6" is pretty excessive if you ask me though.

And I did start tallying a total together for this thing. I'm missing some receipts, but with what I have not including the engine and some big transmission parts, I'm up to $7260. I'm sure once I figure the price of the engine, primer, paint, and all the other receipts when I add them in, it'll be over $11k.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion

Yeah, that is one thing I will NEVER do again. About 20yrs ago I added up most of the invoices for a vehicle I had and once I saw the number, I vowed never to do it again. Now, mind you, at the time the money I had in the vehicle might have bought me a Nissan Sentra or maybe a Corolla and I had a far cooler ride, but nontheless, I never did it again.

Glad to see some forward progress on this thing. It all looks great so far!! Get it done before winter so you can bring it down here and we'll do some wheelin' while your buddies freeze back home.
