Gray223's "The Resurrection" 98 rebuild build

We are monstalining the fender flares black as well, cant wait to see it with them on. Really want some gunmetal gray f-5s. Think they would look really good. Waiting for a blemished set to pop up in 3.5" bs.

 

Looking great! Getting plate front and rear bumpers?

I ended up ordering some scs f5 in matte black 3.5 bs. Hope a blem set comes up fro you! They would look great!

 

When you get them mounted I would love to see a pic! What tires you going with? And ya we are making out own front and rear plate bumpers. We made the one on my 96.

 

Nice, interested to see how they turn out!

And its looking like 255/85/16 bgf km2 tires!

 

I've been wanting to see how the 255/85/16 look on those wheels! Ive been looking at the cooper st maxx

 

I was going to go cooper st maxx but then deals come up haha

 

Ya I just have no need for an m/t

 

sub'd for the rebuild

 

Wow. Started from page one and very impressed at the amount of work you put in! Nice job.

 

Thanks! I'm just really trying to push to get it done. I pulled the whole dash out and painted yesterday. Pics will come soon.

 

Pulled all the dash out...

Painted it all with dupli-color vinyl and fabric paint.

Installed. I'm going to redo the steering column and air bag and that plastic connected to the steering wheel.

With all the leds...

And some goodies came in the mail! H1 retrofit kit!

Installed the vinyl floor, came out pretty good.

Also got the switches in I'm using. I'm making a mount out of a stainless steel electrical box and mounting it above the mirror. I got 6 switches and my dad was like " what in the heck you need 6 for?! ". I just said, idk, but its better to have them in case I do! lol. The rest of the interior will be painted by tomorrow. Have to get some extra clips to replace the broke ones then I can install it all back in. Then its on to fabing up the bumpers!

 

Got the headlight in today. I might try to do the whole retrofit this weekend.

 

The rest of the interior is in. Not sure how well this paint is going to hold up, its already flaking and peeling in places. Some pieces turned out a little different color. Not sure why, unless i picked up a slightly different color on accident.

Got all the wires ran to the engine bay. Cut some small fuse blocks out of an old semi, going to wire it all to that.

Door panels are done and installed.

Shrouds and headlight painted, haven't started putting stuff together yet.

Worked on the grill some more, I cut out pieces of plastic from the grill part that was cut out and jb welded them in and sanded. Realize that the lip is too deep and the mesh will hit some line on the front of the truck, going to have to cut it shorter.

This we got off a semi, it wraped around the stack, going to paint it black.

The driver side seat was junk, the back wouldn't tilt at all so my dog decided to make it his bed

The passenger seat headrest is junk as well, the metal frame had ripped threw the foam. Going to look into some 4runner seats to swap in.

 

The interior black/gray color scheme is pretty cool

 

Ya I don't think its going to last long though. There's places where its already peeled off. Some of the places are all discolored too.

 

Looking good! Satoshi is going to look good.

Got my rims and tires on today. Still waiting on a blem set?

 

Ya. Might just ride on whats on it for now. Idk. But then again I might need the 3.5bs for the shock relocation.

 

subbing because i love first gen access cabs

 

Got to drive it tonight! It needs an alignment and the front end is high now so I need to crank the COs down. Engine runs good, my dad had to stick a spot light out the window cause I haven't finish my retrofit. I got one side done tonight. Should all be done and put back on truck tmrw.

We actually fixed the seat, looking at seat covers. Kinda leaning towards coverkings with the MOLLE patch on the back.

And the switch mouth I made is going to work so I'm going to try to put it down by the ash tray.

And my shocks STILL haven't shipped yet. I emailed shock warehouse, where I bought them, and there still waiting to get them from bilstein.
