Alabama thread!

Oh yea I'm sure! Still would be pretty sweet though

 

yep, i agree. maybe you should just mosey back this way and we will all meet up and go wheel somewhere.

 

anybody blow away this morning?

 

I'm pretty every one of us 2nd gen guys were lifted before warranty ran out. I was lifted at about 10k on the clock. Kyle was stacking lifts long before his warranty ran out

 

I think my coilovers were installed around 15k, but I did keep my old ones just in case I needed to shift it back to factory. I haven't touched the back yet since I was able to get the TSB rear leafs. My bumper to bumper runs out in April, but will still have my powertrain a little longer.

The biggest thing I have to worry about really is my exhaust reroute.

 

so i made me some hi lift mounting brackets (cuz i didnt feel like paying $40 for a set)



and then mounted them



what do ya guys think?

 

^^^Looks good!

 

also got bored this morning and had an old rubber exhaust hanger thing left over from my stock exhaust and decided to take a razor to it and make a handle isolater kind of thing so it doesnt bounce and rattle when its back there. all about the very cheap mods this week. ill take a pic soon and try to get it on here so you can see what im talking about.

 

Boot camp is like Vegas.. What happens there stays there! That's why you never hear about them going out, or "NOT" going out.. Regardless people have needs! LOL!

I was about to go there! ;-) Just an fyi.. I actually had shit replaced on my truck with my warranty while having my 6" lift on it with 35's! ;-) Yeah.. we have a pretty easy going dealership here sometimes!

I like it! GREAT JOB!! I might get rid of mine later so I can get a bigger one.

GREAT IDEA!!

 

Fed Ex man dropped this off this am, can't wait to get em in! My wife is awesome!

 

I love mine. Never a worry getting in with wet/dirty shoes/boots. If they don't sit quite right at the beginning, once the heat of the summer comes back, they will settle in real well.

 

does your jack even come up to the truck when all the way up? if it does is there enough left on the hi lift to actually droop the susp and still lift a tire? do you have a name brand or an offbrand hi lift?

 

he's gotta go to the 60" lol. My 48" is about 3 clicks from the top before I lift a tire and kyles got quite a bit more height than me.

 

Tuscaloosa checking in.

 

well i tried to take the "indirect" route of calling it that, but here is paul to just call a spade a spade. ha ha

 

hey man, jims been quiet so someone has gotta fill in during his absence.

 

Sweet! The driver side fits pretty good. Definitely a quality product!!

 

I've been busy, what with the house falling through and the miata purchased. Is it bad that I prefer driving the old man / hairdresser roadster to my truck? Especially considering the miata costs less than the truck's mods...

Brute force is almost done with my bumper, finally. I think I'm going to rattle can it to start (ships primered) so I have it for a meet they're doing up in KY mar 1-3...

I figured since it ships primered, I have to get it sandblasted before powdercoat no matter what, right?

 

why powdercoat at all? i say rattlecan to start and rattlecan to continue.....


and yes it has to be bare steel to PC. least we always had to have bare steel when i used to do it.

 

Powdercoat looks nice. *shrug* I don't want to go wheel it with the bumper still all jacked up and shit though, so rattlecan it'll be to start. I've heard good things about rustoleum bed liner under rustoleum gloss black.
