Blue's Build

Well I've been here for a little over a year and decided it was finally time to put a build thread together. Bought the with my own money when i was 16 with 125xxx miles on it. Truck came with a shity 3" Revtek lift and some bald 33's and some bad ass wheels


First thing I did was got new tires - 33x12.50x15 Cooper Discoverer STs, and new wheels - 15" Wheelers Off road black steel wheels.
Also debadged the tailgate and painted the door emblems black. (not plasti derped)



Stayed like this for a while until I earned a few more dollars. Timicha (Elite Off Road) hooked me up with one of his bumpers.




Bought a WickedFlow 13" muffler and dumped it after the axle


Bought a 1st gen Satoshi grille from a member here



Bought new headlights off ebay with clear corners. Also converted the corners to blinkers.



Bought an Elite Off Road receiver shackle and put it to use a few times the day I got it




Did quite a bit of snow wheeling this past winter. Sometime during one of those trips I managed to rip off the flimsy stock skid plate



Decided to put some color in the cab and added a few green leds in the cup holders and greens strips above the floor mats. These are not always on and are wired through a switch that I can turn on and off.



Next thing to do was to put some lights on the bumper. Decided to go with HID Hella 500s. 55w 6k




Got in on one of Slimcubbys group buy to match the Hellas




Wheeled with this set up for awhile and finally decided the spacer lift had to go. After seeing other builds I decided to go with Eibach coils and 5100s set at 0. In the back I went with a 3" leaf pack I bought from a member here and 5125s. Much better ride.

Thank you sir! Bought them from Digiratus. He was looking for 2" of lift these were closer to 3". He got them from North West Off Road

 

Haha I almost bought those but didn't have the cash. Now I have expos sitting in my room. What shocks are you running in the rear? Stock location?

Why different sized shocks?? Are they like custom??

EDIT: okay not custom didn't kow 5125s came is so many different sizes...but still why different sizes on your truck??

 

Dsm recommend it. They said the passenger side is a little longer mount to mount
