Should be finishing the truck soon, just needs shocks. I will post up some video of it driving/wheeling as soon as I can.

Actually drove the truck today. Spent the last two weeks doing shocks, hydraulic steering and bakes. Drives really good for full hydro and square drive line. Im going to get some balanced drive lines made asap, to much vibration. I will try to post some video soon.

Got a balanced drive line today. No more vibrations. Was able to hit 35-40 mph, and 15-16 pounds of boost at 2500 rpms before the turbos maxed out, which is good. I was hoping to achieve max boost at a low rpm. Filmed the maiden voyage but need the cables to put the footage on the computer(dog chewed them up). Will post footage soon.

Should be installing my front drive shaft in the morning, finally four wheel drive. I will hit my nieghbors, "HUGE" rock pile first thing and try to crawl up the oak behind our house. Im trying to make it to the snow next weekend. I got some new tires also, 47" ltb's. Will post pick's/footage of everything. Truck will be completely finished as soon as I build the exo cage.

In my Raider with a 4D56 i upgraded the turbo with a 13G spool and i'd hit 22psi almost instantly ...i have a large FM intercooler but with fuel turned up 1 turn i was still getting 1200*+ EGTs ...so i just got the turbo redone with a 15g (stealth upgrade) and now it will hit 30psi and make 20psi (where i will run it) more efficently...nothing has broke ...yet ...hehe

That sounds really cool. How much $$ into your setup. Im not sure how durable the 4d55 would be with thise boost levels. Heres some recent pics.
