Decided to pull the swaybar, and see how it did. Looks pretty good posing on a pile-o-rocks.

I was at the beach, and some kids or redneck idiots left me a giant hole to hit. Im leaning towards the idiots...

Anyways, hit it pretty hard. Hard enough for my 35's to hit my fender.

After I got home, and assessed the damage. I decided to look into getting a smaller set of rims/tires. Ended up getting 33's with 18" rims.

Before:

After:

Gained 1mpg back, and it has more power... obviously.
Worked well all around IMO, the tires don't look so stuffed anymore and it looks more proportional. Also gave me the chance to box in my body mounts, and patch up parts of the wheel well that were cut out to clear the 35's. Started by boxing in the body mounts. Ended up looking clean, no one even notices

Lesson learned!

Krookz · 09-08-2009, 12:20 PM

Most people pull off every sticker they can. On the other hand, theres me. I love stickers!

Thanks to Nitto

That second pic is sick as fuck =)

Krookz · 09-14-2009, 07:59 AM

During that pile-o-rocks pic, I realized that silly bullbar was dragging everything I went over. I searched around for a new bumper, I wanted to wait and see what Demillo and Armortech came up with but I had the money to spend then, and probably not later. So I opted for the Allpro Plate bumper. Im sure I wouldnt have any problems selling it in the future if I wanted one of the other 2

It was a bit pricier than I wanted to pay, but it was well worth it... besides the rust that started to form on it 1 week on the truck. Allpro is supposed to be taking care of me, I still dont have my check or paint

For the fogs, I have 2 Hella 700FF's (http://www.myhellalights.com/halogen...lla_700FF.html), bulbs upgraded to 100w. I used my stock fogs in the smaller holes, I fabbed up some alum clamps/brackets to hold em in place... I like my HID fogs! Also fabbed up a license plate bracket, and used the 2 center most holes on the bumper for the mounting point.

For those at the Va meet and greet, I dropped the bumper 1/2in so it would clear the fender while flexed. Thanks for pointing it out, I wouldn't have noticed until it was too late!
Edit: You can actually see it in the 2nd pic, for those who don't know

My Alcan's should be in today, maybe some pics later if so! Shoe Creek this Sat!!

w8n4mud · 09-14-2009, 09:48 AM

WOW!
You sure know how to pick them. Nice set-up. I def. like these rims better. Overall, I love the stance of your truck. Sharp!
Nice work brother!

On a side note, you've had your share of personalized license plates. I like the UP UR5 one! Haha. Classic!

Krookz · 09-16-2009, 06:30 PM

Alcan's are on! Rode around for a day with them, they wern't so stiff at the end of the day. They flex REALLY nice! Ill save the pics of that for this weekend

I had to tweak my exhaust layout a bit, it was rattling on the springs. Side note: the torq on the U-Bolts is 93-116ft/lb!
