That's a pretty nice truck you got there, very blingy with all those bolt ons. I must ask why are there TRD stickers on the hummer? imo this isnt a project, but I do give you props for all that GPM.

There aren't any TRD stickers on the body though, its TRP (an after market company). |
The video of the truck playing on the atomic stock engine with 2x3 stacked fets, and 6 cell upgrade!

As for the stickers... is already a sticker project :) cuted and glued to my taste :cool: |
Since "the Jang" came out with his little video rant about "project" cars everyone has to criticize people for calling there car a project.
Honestly who cares if he uses the word "project" in the thread title. No one cared what people called there cars before. This truck is very nice and it's a "project" to him. It's obvious English is his second language and I think his wording is fine considering. So why nit-pick about his title. I don't mean to argue or offend anyone, just stating my $0.02 Besides he did stack his mosfets so that means he modified the stock PCB, not everyone has the soldering skills to do that, so technically you could call it a "project". |
Thing is looking awesome....

such speed needs metal wheels!
