Cynicalriders "J0hnny5 is ALIVE!" 01 build thread.

Subscribed. Nice first gen, I just bought a 99 and will be referring to this thread frequently in the future.

 

Thanks and welcome!

 

What size tires are you running in this picture post lift???

Awesome truck!!!

 

Still the 265/75r16's. They were all I ran till I got the 35's.

 

Shit man, I haven't been in this thread since May! J5 is looking good! Jealous of everyone on 35s. I don't think my 3rz could handle it. Keep up the good work and hope to see you at rock therapy 2017

 

Damnit, most of your pics are blocked *using work pc*. Do you have aftermarket upper control arms?

 

That's the goal! Would love to see all the PA homies who left for the best coast.

I do not, still on stock UCA's. One day this thing will get some suspension love haha

 

Hey bud, how did u do the led blinker mod for the rear?

 

I don't have led's in the rear, only the standard bulbs still. If was going to go LED in the rear I would swap it for this one:

Haven't been able to justify the cost though for aesthetics haha

 

Holy shit! That's ridiculous $175.... that's about 2/3rds of my retrofitted headlights

 

Lol I plugged the leds in the front and it immediately blows the fuse. Is this because of the resistor?

 

Not resistor, I meant relay

 

No the LED's could be bad, check the metal leads on the bulbs aren't possibly touching each other. I got a bad one when I bought mine too and the shit started melting on me.



All the resistor does is get rid of the hyper blink.

 

Oh crap! I'm gonna check it out. Did Amazon send u new ones?

 

Yeah I contacted them and got a new one sent right away.

 

Cool. I connected and installed the relay. All good now. thanks bud. I hope that one day my truck looks as good as yours.

 

Well I finally got a working radio again, as well as bluetooth and other goodies. While I was in there my buddy helped me add another relay to the switches I have so that I can control the lights I have on my tool box to work with my switch inside the cab or with my switch inside the tool box itself.

The stock setup:


Everything removed:



Night shot:



Still working on finding the proper color combo to get all the blue led's to match properly.

 

Some day pics:

 

Howd you get your CB so flush?

 

90* angle connector and melting the ductwork a bit in the back. After that it's just making sure all the wires clear properly when you are reassembling everything.
