Thanks a lot everyone! So stoked to get this again. It really means a lot to me. As I always say though, my truck is never finished in my eyes. Sorry, I haven't been on here much lately. Been super busy with school and getting our ship ready to sail out in a few weeks. Also, been taking marine firefighting classes every weekend now. Right now in my free time I've been planning some big updates for my audio system. And I mean UPDATES hahaha. Like I will probably eventually be getting a high output alternator haha. Then next summer I'm hoping to do the rear suspension to try and better match my front. And in a few years when I'm making bank and get a new ride this truck is going to become an offroad machine with an engine swap and full cage. My hopes at least. Thanks for all the support for me and my little 4 cylinder.

And as for the 4.56 gears. I love them! It wasn't a decision between 4.10s though because I already had 4.10s in my old C200 since I had the manual 4 banger. I'm actually still needing to sell my C200 with 4.10s. It's in great condition and still sitting in my garage back home. My powerband is way better matched now even with the heavy 33s. I dont have to drop gears as much when climbing steep grades. Also, having the locker offroad when going slow has proven useful a few times, even though I'm 2wd, it really still helps. The only thing my powertrain is really lacking is a good clutch. I really wish they made a heavier clutch for our 2.5s. I think I'll be replacing the clutch again with an exedy before I know it.
