The Frankenstein Build! LT/Expo/Trail rig..and BS

Well i decided id do the deckplate mod today as i have lots of extra time...only to find that every auto parts store in town doesn't even know what im talking about...sheesh..sooo i guess ill just order one online.

Also thinking about buying some dupicolor bedliner to spray on my emblems, door handles and rear bumper. why??

CAUSE I JUST ORDERED AND ELITE PLATE BUMPER!!!

so ill prolly use bed liner to paint the bumper too.

 

Nice man, you get the front bumper? I want one really bad but they are just a bit much for me to shell out, plus i want the rear to so it makes it even more but i cant wait to see yours.

& im kinda goin for the weekend offroader thing in the mountains and wherever to take some nice trips, so i wanna be able to have everything id need on a trail if i were to be alone to have the best chance of getting out on my own if something were to happen!

 

Thats exactly what im going for! sorta i think.

And i know dude..they are pricey! but well worth it. But alas...i am just diggin myself a hole as ill NEED a rear one now too haha and Tims Sliders...sheesh..oh well i can't wait to get it. Will help settle my Eibachs too.

After a few days of driving with my lawn trailer im really glad i ordered the AALs. Rear is defiantly lower now that its settled more. So that will be nice.

 

I still think im gonna go with the trailgear front and add a few things to it and the 4xinnovations rear, but if i were you id build some sliders! Its easy, especially if you can weld and if not just find a buddy that can and to make it easier just make em out of square tubing so you wont have to bend anything, it will just be cutting angles.

 

Yea the tube bumpers will be much lighter thats for sure lol

and dude i wish i could weld.. once my dads friend gets his shop up and running (aka our "car" shop) thats were we will have my supra his mustang and fairlane too. There will be a welder there and i will give it a go. I have never done it and really want to learn. Sliders i think will be next after my bumper tho for sure.

 

Looking good man!
Will be even better once the front bumper is on. Who knows you might get it for free

 

Dude i hope so! that would be SOOO cool lol...course if i won the free bumper drawing. Id just tell Tim to send me a rear bumper and sliders hahaha...maybe i think..depends of finances i guess. But thats most likely what id do But yes it'll look sweet!...kinda like your truck

 

AALs came! Thank you dan for the incredible service and fast shipping! Maybe install tonight. Otherwise ill have to wait till sunday. sadly no wheel spacers today like i thought hopefully tomorrow! stay tuned

 

so youre running a new leaf pack and an AAL?

 

wheeler's leaf packs only give about 1.5" of lift. So they offer an aal if you want more lift.

EDIT: sub'd

 

UMM where is this drawing at?

 

Any reason you didn't go with a 3" leaf pack?

 

Yes sir and 1.5'' shackles too

In Tims Elite front bumper buy for 1st gens. What he does is out of the first 15 buyers he draws a name randomly and they get their bumper cost back for free(not shipping tho)

Well i got in on the Wheelers 5pk group buy hoping to save money...alas that backfired but i already bought them so i stuck with them. I wish i had gotten Allpros Expos now tho really. Not that i dont like these, it just wouldve been easier and cheaper for me.


Also i got the AAL installed and leafs in the rightful places! like 15mins ago MUCH more lift, back is now higher then the front officially. I didn't put my lawn trailer on but i doubt it will sag much. The ride doesn't seem to have changed a whole lot either which is nice. Sad part is that i might have to replace my brand new 5150s as i think they might be too short now...i'll have to measure later. Still i am no happy with the look and ride Sept now i REALLY need bigger tires...ugh...just bought new ones last year...sheesh. I am not being economical about this at all haha here are some pics!

Rear is now at 39 1/4'' and 39 1/2'' if any one cares. I have no idea what stock height is so idk how much lift it is officially

 

Looks good man. If you decide on getting the expos, hit me up for the wheelers leafs and aals. I might be interested depending on how funds look at the time.

 

Thanks!
lol will do man! Idk if ill be replacing them any time soon. Literally just got these. We'll see how things pan out. I know ill need them eventually for taking all the extra weight ill have on my truck when i get it the way i want.

 

I hear ya man. I may end up getting the expos too eventually.

 

can't argue with 400lbs before sag lol

 

What size tires are you going to bump up to? 33s?

 

Good looking truck. Subbed to see where it goes
