SeattleCoug's Black Beauty Build

Hey thank you. No I actually sold it to another WA guy on here. You should be able to find em on Craigslist or eBay. I would suggest going with the 01-04 center console. It'll take you a few months to find one but it'll be WELL WORTH IT.

You're gonna love buckets also!

 

Wired up my Rigid D2s...
I'll spend the rest of the night and early tomorrow morning wiring up my LightForce 240s

 

Lifted the truck finally! Got the All-Pro Expedition Leaf Springs in.
Pics to come tomorrow

 

Here are a few pictures I snapped this morning... I'll take plenty more (better) ones after I get my 33s and Pro Comp 7069s later this week

Underneath all finished (I cut the U-Bolts down to size):



From the side:



Top Picture = Stock
Middle Picture = Front lifted with 3" coils/5100s
Bottom Picture = Front lifted with 3" coils/5100s and rear lifted with All-Pro Expo leafs/5125s





One more just straight on from the side:



I'll have some (more) rake in a few months when my Elite-Off Road front plate bumper gets finished

 

Lift Measurements​

From the ground up the center to the (middle of the) fender flare:
Stock
FD - 34.25"
FP - 34.50-34.75"
RD - 35.50"
RP - 35.25"


After Front Install of Toytec/Eibach Coils and Bilstein 5100 shocks to 0"

RD - 40.00"
RP - 40.00"

These last measurements don't seem right so I'll measure from the hub to the top of the fender later this afternoon and see if that measures any better.

 

It looks super clean man. What size tire you running?

 

Thanks! Just stock BFG All Terrain 31x10.50x15 but I just ordered 285/75/16 Goodyear Duratracs with 16" Pro Comp 7069s from Discount Tire, so we'll see how they run

 

Cant wait to see the new tires and rims man. U want regret goin with 285/75/16. Mine are the same size u ordered an their Awesome!!!! When u get them rigid industries on get some pics of them. I been wantin some but a winch id next.

 

I met up with CHPTR11 yesterday and saw 285s on his rig.. that pretty much sold me on what size to get. Then the employee at Discount Tire sold me on trying out the Goodyear Duratracs instead of my initial interest in the BFG All Terrains. We'll see how they are, I'm skeptical cause I hear a lot of good things, but a lot of bad things as well. He said I can try em for 30 days and if I don't like em get something else & pay the difference in tires.

I have the Rigid Industries hooked up already, I'm just waiting on my Elite Plate Bumper so it'd be a while. Are you just wondering how bright they are or how they'd look on a stock or plate bumper..?

 

Temperature Gauge Relocation​

Relocated because I'm using the clock area for my Off-Road/Fog Light OTRATTW switches.
Here are before:

I'm facing a little exhaust problem after the new leafs...





Ordered Old Man EMU exhaust relocation bracket. I'll UPDATE this post with pics once I get it & install.

 

Yeah just chop it man, I did it right before the last bend. Looks a lot better with out the exhaust hanging out IMO.

You figure out those 240s and get them working?

Wired up to my LightForce 240 Blitz's and Rigid D2's. Now I just need my Elite Off Road Plate Bumper and it'll be plug and play from there

 

Also, when the wheels and tires supposed to be in?

 

Whoops I didn't see this between my posts. Someone in the 1st Gen thread said something about be careful cause you don't want to melt the ABS wires that run back there... I ordered a Old Man EMU exhaust drop bracket so I'll just relocate it down a few inches. If I really don't like it then I suppose I'll just chop it.

I ordered them after we met on Wednesday so I would guess this week. I just listed my stock tires/wheels on Craigslist so I hope I can get a little bit of money from em

 

Yeah for what it's worth I bought that too and it still interfered with the leafs, hence why I chopped the tail pipe. Plus it looks super weird with the tail pipe hanging so low.

I cut the pipe waaaay after the axle, basically right before the last bend. I cant see how it would ever melt any wires or anything else for that matter.

Let me know when you get everything set up on your truck, we should hit up some trails before you ship out to San Diego.

 

Shiiiiiit, maybe I'll give the company a call and cancel my order early tomorrow if it looks shitty.

I'll keep you posted, although I'll pretty much be done with everything (minus my new bumper & Wet Okole covers) after these new wheels/tires get installed, balanced and aligned
