Here are some new pics of under my hood i havent been able to post them. ive been super busy these past few months with carshows an traveling an working so here they are... i did a hood strut conversion an fiberglassed an molded all under hood did some air brush work with my club logo painted all the bolts removed all brackets an did a wire tuck an painted upper an lower intakes throttle body an linkage. Next step is to pull motor an color match the block black an green an maybe powder coat my headers with high temp powder. I had my exhaust pipes an tips powder coated gloss black an tig welded up a few months ago before my show an its holding up great its very durable not chipping no flaking of any kind from rocks. so anyway here is the pics of the engine what do yall think?

Wow, I'm always impressed with your truck.

I really like the hood struts. Can you give me the name of the kit you used?

Also, did you mount the one end of the strut on the hood edge or your new fiberglass?

-Thanks

a wire tuck is what tuner cars do either to be a show car or appeals to there taste. ive done it cause i like the clean look of it. you take your fenders off an relocate wires there to cleans the engine bay i bet i had 10 pounds of brackets i got rid of by doing this an i didnt even do it hard. my boys with there cars got the power steering removed there ac compressors an abs componets removed. u look in there engines all u see is 5 wires which is 4 spark plug wires an 1 ground cable an nothing else... just enough to drive.
i got these struts from a company called redline tuning its suppose to be a full bolt on kit for xterra but i didnt wont it to be so i welded instead of using there rivets cause my hood weighs more cause of the fiberglass. So i wanted the extra security knowing that it wont go no were i also used these strut props that lock in place when the hood is up that locks into the strut that keeps it from moving anybody that has struts on the hood an show the car at show know all it takes is a good wind an there goes the hood slamming down not with theses they support 360lbs a piece. This fiberglass work alone was over 1500 bucks an ungodly amount of man hours an my time to boot so the hood slammimg down wasnt a option... I also got like the audi style lights in my lower grille looks pretty cool have to shoot some pics.
ive done everthing bout possible running front an rear addco swaybars all poly bushings bout to drop it running sp performance diamond drilled an slotted zinc plated rotors with hawk pads an goodridge stainless steel brakelines an ate superblue racing brake fluid. Custom house of kolor pearl paint fully fiberglassed rear hatch compartment with system an false floor for my amps. pioneer tv every bulb in the truck is leds trucks been fully shaved an molded.,

That looks pretty badass! You've got a really clean engine bay too, which is always a good thing to help detect leaks should any arise. Your brake fluid does look kinda dark though and it should be more amber or clear colored. When was the last time you had it flushed?
