nah, im back in houston for the moment. im starting my road trip in june so i should be cruising through colorado/wyoming area around august. ill keep ya posted when i come through as ill be visiting a few friends there

 

Sweet, we should go wheeling whenever you come through here

 

im down! ill have the go-pro with me this time around, so will have to get some footage up in the mountains

 

No doubt!

 

got a call this morning from the guy who is doing the CV axles for me, had a minor mishap and he has to find a replacement part for the CV's. minor set back, no big deal.

Went ahead and ordered Hannemann Fenders and Bedsides, said they had some in stock and will ship out today, Super stoked on that.

 

snapped some pictures of how wide the rear is going to be.
1.25" spacers+ 4.5" backspacing with 285's


and the coil overs

 

FINALLY have my axles ready to go, today i WILL drive my truck down the street! and then back into the garage where it will wait for more parts haha

had a few set backs with the axles, but now its all good to go. pics will be up tonight or tomorrow

 

we have 4 wheel drive!!








all thats left at this point is swap passenger side brake line, bleed brakes, snug up any loose bolts, toss wheels on and once it is on its own weight, torque everything...
alignment is way haggard and ill have to do a half ass alignment before i drive it down the road.

 

got it sitting on all 4s now..
83.25" wide sidewall to wide wall, about 81" wide outside tread to tread

need to mount resivoirs, drive it down the street and back and torque everything and an alignment as it has some nasty camber...


full droop


sitting at ride height... need to get a spanner wrench as it is sitting nose down at the moment.

 

Looking good man. for pictures out of the garage

 

ha dont have to wait long.. i got impacient and zip tied the resi's and went for a cruise around the neighborhood... 30 seconds after i left my driveway i passed 2 cops.. they didnt even give a second look... not that i was going to stick around and see

 

messed around with my go pro today when i took the truck to the gas station...
do not watch it if you are expecting any excitement at all...


and a big thanks to all these companies for hooking it up.

 

Sweet man does it feel smooth? When do the fenders come

 

everything is smooth when you baby it ha.

but compared to the OME setup its way smooth, even with 700lb springs up front with no fenders/bumpers or any extra weight.

fiberglass should be here this week, probably spend a day on the fenders and then the next day on the bedsides. then off to paint.

once the bumper and skid plates show up, it should have enough weight upfront where it works well with the valving/spring rates.

 

Got a call and the fiberglass should be dropped off within the next hour, should hopefully have the fenders/bedsides mounted and done by tomorrow.

also ordered some Rigid Duallys with diffused lenses to use as fog lights on the factory fog light switch. anyone know if theres a place where i can purchase a female connection/pig tail to plug into the factory male part of the harness? would like to have the lights just plug in, instead of cutting the wire if i can avoid it

 

fenders/bedsides arrived today... the excitement of them arriving shortly wore off when i realized they sent long bed bedsides instead of the short bed...








going to have a ton of sanding on these... hopefully the drivers side fits better than the passenger side

 

Damn that really sucks about the bedsides. Passenger side doesnt look too bad though!

 

ha sitting how it is in those pictures, if i snapped a picture with the hood closed there is about a 1 - 1/2" gap between the fender and the hood.

they will be mounted up tomorrow, hoping they wont take too long

 

Subbed

Lookin good!
