Fixed my Spindle and installed some gussets with the help of a friend. Made a video, would appreciate if you guys checked it out! For those of you doing the same thing feel free to ask questions I'll help out the best I can.

What rear bumper is that?

 

It's actually custom made, the D shackles I got off of Amazon!

 

The whole state isn't like San Diego, SoCal, or the Bay Area. We bought our house (1900 sqft 3/2.5 one-story custom) in 2011 and my mortgage is about $1560, including taxes and insurance. Yes, it's Sacratomato and were surrounded by thousands of acres of farmland, but I don't have to travel far to see the ocean or mountains.

Don't judge the whole state based on what you see in the most expensive places to live. Some of that shit is insane, even by California standards.

 

Looks good, I like it!

 

Anybody have hub to fender measurements for a 2.5'' lift? I've messed with my suspension so much that I'm not really sure how much lift I'm running.

 

For 500 more, your area is alot nicrer than mine. Jelly

 

This.

 

It was timing. The market was almost bottomed out and the sellers were very motivated because it was a family trust sale. It was on the market for 4 months and they were dropping the price about $10k each month. By the time we got there, the price had dropped about $45k.

 

Wutchoo got there, Mr. Nine Fingers?

 

Whoa, care to elaborate?

 

Custom built by myself gonna call it zachbuilt lol.. bed stiffener to stop the freaking bed flex in back, espicslly after adding the rear tire carrier! It actually stopped the flex when opening and closing the rear tire gate!



I know someone will say something the only runs in my whole truck are in my bed in that one spot. It was where I started at lol!

 

Out with the old...

I going to clean it up into a nice write up.

 

This weekend changing: clutch, center support bearing, brakes, rotors, cv axles, sway bar end links, and shock mounts (and probably more stuff I cant think of). Nothings been modified on the truck (04 4x4 xcab) and this is the first major work (outside of ball joints) that's been done. Wish me luck!

 

"roof rack" complete!!!
Finally got my 4xinnovations sliders welded on too!

 

Saw a extended cab with vinyl wrapping that was like...duck camo gear. I couldn't take a picture because it was raining and the wind was crazy but I was able to give the old guy a thumbs up on his wrap.

 

Found some AllPro 3" lift springs, think this is a good deal?

$300, and 10k miles

 

Installed a carrier bearing drop kit
