Great build. I especially like the IRS. Interested in ride and handling experience. You mention passing tech in your videos...does that mean you plan on racing this? What type of events?
Still not a fan of the LS, but I get it. If anything, they're cheap and plentiful.

No arguing with the numbers...
I’d still rather see it with a Coyote even if it did “add a zero”, but hey, it is your truck and you are the one that has to be happy with it.
And it is an awesome truck, even with an off brand motor in it
It just that it would be more awesome if it was all Ford...
I’m frankly surprised that there hasn’t been more “crying” about the LS, the last guy that mentioned that around here got a rather chilly reception IIRC, you should consider that a bit of a testament to how cool every one thinks the truck is overall.

You built the power plant for $700, putting 400+hp at the wheels? This is a case study on how to build an awesome truck! Well done sir!

It's kinda the first odd one out i think we have seen. The build quality is incredible. Yeah the motor.... but it's impressive and he is strutting stuff for sure. Proud for him and it is a slick looking truck. Could be one heck of a sleeper minus stance and wheels
