scalfee90's 1st Gen Build

Got the flowmaster on today and got tips ran out both sides.

 

Finished the front bumper.

 

Big news! Just ordered some some of my lift for the taco 3" by March! Leggo!

 

What lift did you go with?

 

The old eibach and billies lift with a 2" block till i get leaf packs.

 

Updates: Blocks are here and i got some used 33x12.5 BFG A/Ts I'm gonna run for a month or two to make sure my lift is gonna hold up to them. Then if i'm happy with the 33s I'm goin with some Goodyear MT/Rs and some DC-2s.

 

Dreaming big lol I'll post ASAP when the lift goes on

 

Well I started putting my lift on today. I got the back done along with the tires also. All I have left is to mount the front struts and coils.

 

Lift is on! I gotta get UCAs and an alignment soon. The back end is saggin a little but its doin ok right now until I get my new leafs.

 

Looks good man! Nice job

 

Thanks man!

 

Well newest update, as of Feb 21, 2012 I wrecked and hit a tree on the passenger side these are the damages.





Then I worked with it for a a few days and got it straight again.



Then I got some new tires!



I have a new bumper on now and I'm only posting pictures exclusively to TW so feel special!

This is it in current state as of Mar 5, 2012

 

Diggin the new front bumper a bit more than the old one! Did you build it yourself too?
I got some similar damage to my pass fender when my bumper got ripped off, ill have to try and dig up a pic

 

thanks! yeah i build the front one also. it was a father son project. i still gotta cut out the place for my winch to come through. but shoot that sucks howd the bumper come off?

 

Delayed pictures of my front bumper, This was a father son project over the weekend. It's supposed to copy the back bumper but its got a slick finish, but here it is!









My buddy posted up testing the rigidity???



Hood Up



Hood Down



Putting the finishing touches on before paint.



Finished

 

looks good man i like it!
& i fell down into a rut trying to pull another guy out and after about 30 snatches from an f250 the welds broke on mine so i went overboard on the welds this time

 

Dang thats crazy! I managed to hit the tree with mine because of bad tires and a slick road. I was only goin like 15mph around a turn then

 

Damn, ive landed on a few rocks and such here and there so idk if that weakend it or not but when it came off it bent in my passenger fender and puled off the stock skid crossmember but i just tapped some holes in the bumper crossmember and welded some nuts to the back side to bolt the skids to now so its a better design and should be much stronger from now on and when i get my winch ill be going and welding on the bumper a little more to be safe

 

That sounds like a plan. I've got a piece of angle as my skid crossmember! I really don't know what happened to it but it was gone when i got it. I also had no bumper crossmember or crush cans, so I'm assuming that someone had a different bumper on there at one point.
