Nathan's Long Travel Build

Truck came out great, good job.

 

Thanks

 

hey, props to you for literally building the truck from the frame up.

 

how did u get the dash light blue?

 

I switched all the stock dash light bulbs to blue LED bulbs.

 

I bought my dash LEDs, in blue also, a year ago....just don't wanna tear apart dash cuz it a pita lol....I have a garage now so gonna tackle that soon! Looks good!

 

Sub for later

 

So anyway, one of the flanges on my cat converter was leaking so I took it into a shop for them to patch. They patched the hole, charged a really decent price then I said, "can you take a look at this rattle I have?" It rattles at low RPM under throttle. So we took it out so the mechanic could hear it, and he said it was something in the rear probably. I said probably driveshaft, so we took it back in and started going over stuff, and sure enough, the bolts holding the carrier bearing were loose. Yikes.
So on the same note how much slop, if any, should there be in the carrier bearing?

 

Probably the sickest build I've seen for the '98.
Nice work dude!

 

Thanks man! How are those subs treating you? Are you running 1 or 2 subs? I think I might switch to two 10" subs.

 

Anything JL Audio has is awesome, I have two 10" W3's and they are beasts. I've had quite a few different subs in the past and not one of them has near as good of sounds JL. You wouldn't be disappointed that's for sure!

 

Sick! Yeah I"m thinkin of doing two subs under the rear seats in the compartments there. Maybe 8"s, well see.

 

x2 on the JL. Have had a JL 12" for a while, havent had any problems.

 

Really like this build man. I love what you did with the frame. I ran into the same rust problems with my 99, and fixed them myself, but it doesn't look nearly as nice as yours. Bad ass 98...

 

Aroused and sub'd!

 

Haha yeah, my first choice would be four 8" JL's they can move so freakin' fast.

sick man, good luck!

 

SICK!

 

Wow! nice work!

 

Good to know, and thanks!

Thanks guys!

 

How do u like those grabbers overall?
