Sooooo much more to come. This is my very first build so it's gonna be a long work in progress.

Freshly washed about to get a makeover!

Got the lift done, but ran into some issues with my tires/wheels however..........


Some last minute calls to Discount Tire, and they not only had my Duratracs in stock, but they stayed late by almost an hour to balance and mount em! Thanks Discount!

Got everything unwrapped and staged for the days activities.

Started with the rear. Braking everything down.





Grinding the center pins to length.

One down, one to go!

The second before we added the leaf.

5160's before the reservoirs were mounted.

Reservoirs mounted!

Buddy of mine helping out, grinding the second center pin to length.(Sadly he's a Jeep driver. Though majorly respects Tacos.)

Finished the rear, took a mid way pic since we had to turn it around to do the front lift.

Starting on the front.

Dirty old stock bilsteins!

Just needed my tires, which were late.(or non existent I should say)

But thanks to Discount Tire with their last minute save I was able to get it all completed in one day! This was just after they were mounted still in the parking lot.

Her's how she sits now.

Bumper will be replaced with a Pelfreybilt, so the missing fender flare is of no concern.

Yes when I bought her I was going for looks(which is why she's a sport) but damnnn she looks good!!!

Probably my favorite picture. Love this shot.

Passenger side.

Couldn't help but get this picture, my buddy brought his 1st gen over to do some work as well and couldn't pass up the opportunity to get the 1st and 2nd gen together. Both dark green with black wheels, great look!

 

Knuckles.... Get em bloody!

 

Hell ya, I plan on it.

 

Where's the bumper flare?

 

You mean on that last pic? It got ripped off when I was living in South Dakota. I'm not worried about it anymore though, I'm planning on getting a bumper similar to yours actually so it'll snug up nice.

 

I like the look of yours. Good to see another sport model in here lol. What size lift did you go with on yours? It might just be the angle, but it doesn't look like a full 3".

 

Nah about 2.25". Next time I'd like to push 3" though.

 

Ya for sure. I'm gonna do the full three right off the bat. I just need my quote already.

 

That's one sexy 1st Gen in the background
