I have owned my current truck for one year today its been a long and sort a fun journey.

It took me three months to find my truck I finally found it in Atlanta Georgia on Craigslist. I found it and said I would take it the day the guy posted it. He has since e-mailed me and said that he got hit up for it almost three months later with people offering crazy amounts for it. Anyway back on track I drove with my 4runner and a car hauler down to Memphis to meet him and my new to me truck. I left Fayetteville around 1PM to get there by 6 PM. The thought of driving a truck 5 hours towing a a trailer and 4runner the first time I ever drove it frightened me but I had faith in the guy and the mighty 12 valve. I got there drove the truck it was everything I could have hoped for. I loaded up the 4runner and set off for home. I soon found out why the auto guys complained so much it had no trouble pulling the 4runner after the TC locked but before that it was a SLUG. It already had a boost and pyro and I added a trans temp that I bought from ndurban on here. By the way where is that guy? After I added the trans temp I pushed the fuel plate forward and tweaked the star wheel a little. I was fine with this knowing anymore could hurt my trans. So I stuck with that setup and started saving for a fully built transmission. Then in March fate stepped in and my TC started locking up in first and killing my engine. So in went the fully built Gorend. After that actually that next week a #100 plate went in along with a little more start wheel and afc tweaking and a tc lock up switch. In June the 4” exhaust and bhaf with prefilter were added. Then in September in went the 4K GSK 60lb valve springs and bumped timing. After that in late October I added the 3rd gen wheels. A few other odds and ends have also been added CB, cup smoothie, radio with cd player, gooseneck hitch, the dent in my bed were some lady backed into my with her jeep liberty and some other little things. And that brings us up to now. One year its been one year since I bought my truck. I wonder what the next year will bring hopefully a new turbo maybe a SPS62 and injectors maybe some ddp4s or new era 370s or 435s. Maybe head stud and fire rings perhaps. Only time will tell but you guys will be the first to know.


One other little note. I have never made it to the two year mark with any of my CTD's

 

Congrats!! Going on 2 years and 7 months with mine!!
