@pedropistolas18

They are Centerline wheels, you can contact Centerline directly and ask for Carlos. He knows all specs and sizes you need for Lightnings.

Should be a nice 10second truck.

Sweet!!!

DOPE!!!!

[fordmike]

How much did it cost for all that work?

[73fordguy]

Based on all that I'm going to rephrase my earlier statement and say that I'm glad "The Fridge" is in that hands now of someone who will keep it well maintained. Outstanding job. Looking forward to more vids.

[southjerseystang]

The only plans I would have for it still would be to finish the suspension (front QA1's, drag springs, and JLP shackles) and I have an unpainted cowl hood to go on.....

[southjerseystang]

I have actually done quite a bit cosmetically already.

The exterior was frankly, a complete mess when I got it. Lack of care basically.

I had a full detail done, redid the bed liner, painted all the side steps/bumper, new heads and corners, new grilles, new rims and tires, cleaned and painted the entire frame/undercarriage, removed entire interior and put in black carpet, Sparco buckets, as well as an Expedition center console, Aeroforce Gauge in steering pod etc, etc....

[73fordguy]

Those are impressive numbers. Do you have any plans besides maybe more suspension upgrades? It's great to see that "The Fridge" is still around and is still well maintained.

[southjerseystang]

Thanks!!

It runs a street tune right now which has it at about 630/630 to the wheels if I remember correctly. A swap to the smaller pulley and add race gas and it made 714/746......

It also ran a 10.22 at 134 on its first run down the track with this combo, the second run blew the (previous) motor. It has the second JDM built motor in it now. Keep in mind the only suspension mods done on it are Metco rear traction bars and some QA1 rear shocks, everything else is bone stock (for now)......

[73fordguy]

That exhaust sounds great! What is the truck's current state of tune? I remember reading an article that said over 700 rwhp on the built JLP engine and the capability to smoke the tires at a 40 mph roll.

thats a sweet sounding truck man!! Even tho they aren't practical for "my" personal use, I still drool everytime I see one!!
