Finamore built single cab

That IBP is radical! Interested to hear your thoughts once you try them out.

I’ve got a couple trips on them already. Really impressed with them right out of the box. My truck seems to finally be getting to the point where it’s reliable enough to shock tune. Hoping to get it dialed in this season

Couple pictures from recent dune trips. Went to Gordon’s for veterans and thanksgiving. Should be back out there for new years if all goes as planned

Random update/post. I ended up grenading the input drum on my 4L60 at the dunes. Truck was fine all weekend until I went to make a pass down the drags on the last night. Shifted from 1st to 2nd and ended up with more neutrals than desired. I told myself once that trans let go I’d convert to a th400.

Found a $300 marketplace th400 and had it built. We had to change a couple things to make it work. New shift gate and linkage, new cross member, etc. Got it slapped in and made one more dune trip at the end of February.

Had a big Bad Lines moment. I typically lead the dune rides for our group. We were out in the middle of Gordon’s headed towards Patton and some of the group was falling behind. I stopped and waited for them at a shitty downhill/off camber spot with a straight up wall in front of me. I tried to steer left and power out of it but my front end pushed and I went straight into it. Got super lucky that my brother in law was with me in his jeep on 40s with a winch. Beams were completely under the sand. Whole rear end was under the sand. Rear bumper was on the ground. I’d probably still be out there if he wasn’t there to tug me out. Had a few miller lattes and kept on dunin

Why go to a th400 over a 4l80?
I have 0 experience with either

Just got done doing some front end prep/maintenance. New rotors, pads, wheel bearings, king pins.




I also just grabbed this cool roof scoop from Cole Edmonds. He built it and had it on his red raingutter. I haven’t mounted it yet, but it will direct air straight at my trans coolers. It also adds some style points imo. Not sure if I’m going to leave it black, or get it powdered grey to match the side of the truck.

Cheaper and slightly smaller. I also have no need for overdrive
