My68ur8's Build

depends on weather I get my Sliders here and on by then. They are supposed to be here by the end of this week.

Sorry I didnt give you a ring today, I ran out of time and had to go in for the wifes ultrasound. Its a BOY

I will give you a call this week sometime to work on that rev limiter

Justin

 

Congratulations!! I didn't realize you were expecting. Too cool!

 

Thanks to Darci and her Husband. I got my hands on these today



Im going to coat them with spray bedliner this weekend and hopefully install them next week if I can find time and the few missing pieces show up.

these things are super beefy and well gusseted. I am looking forward to getting them coated and installed

Nice Justin!

 

Got some free time today.

mounted up the All Pro Sliders well 90% done, but you can read about that in the All Pro forum. I can finish them up later, they are solid as they are



I'll get some pics outside later. now you guys need to plan another trip for me to come and try them out ( even though Gadget swears it wont happen)

I also, sprayed my ammo cans with bedliner and mounted one up. I still need to drill and mount up the other one



I am really happy with them, super easy, cheap, water tight storage

Justin

 

Glad you got them installed! I am so sorry about the hardware mix up.

They look awesome!

 

no problem,

Your husband gave me two bags of hardware, one is for your rear bumper

I will drop it off to him this week

Justin

 

Thanks!

 

Oh I know. I had to work Saturday. I want to make it out to the next one

 

lovin your truck!

 

Your shit is the shit..... Follow up question how is the 12" 5125 any problems yet? where did you get the extended brakelines and what are the length front and rear.

 

how did you do your headlights

 

I did the normal BHLM, but I put orange transparent vinyl on the turn signals. I also put the projectors in them as well.

I am about to redo them. The orange vinyl doesnt like the heat from the DTRL and wants to bubble when hot. You dont really notice it, but I do. If I were to do it again, I would pray tint the lenses. They also outgassed a little ( probably the hot vinyl) and get hazy some times ( not moisture, but like a dirty window)

Also, they are not VA state inspection friendly with the vinyl.

I have another set of Retro headlights that I am going to put in maybe today. Then decide what I want to do with these, either open them up and redo them, or just sell them ( retro and all) and let someone else decide what they want to do with them

Justin

 

I will defenatey buy them. Hit me up homie!!!

 

I have not cranked them up. I would assume you can get the camse 2.5" extra as you can with the standard ICONs.

Have you asked Icon?

Justin

 

It says on the Icon website that they are for 6-7 inches of lift. So i guess they can only be adjusted up another inch or so from the factory setting.

 

i believe thats to achieve macimum travel, i bet you could crank them higher at the expense of losing wheel travel.

 

finally back to the truck

Stereo install finally in progress

RAAMAT BXT II and ensolite, only one door done, but now I have the itch an I need to finish since I am swapping the speakers as I go ( and yes I have to find the holes for the handle mount, i covered them up...)



here is the spare rear bin I picked up, cut for the box. I have the design, just need to built it. It will hold one ID10D2 and the two amps (JL 500/1 and 300/4) will be in a rack that I build for the driver side bin.



and with all baby seat mounts accessible being a new dad and all


Feels good to have a little time to wrench again

Justin

 

Nice...can't wait to see the finished product.
