5 lug long travel baby truck build

I have 15s. 4wp has steelies for like $50 a wheel

 

My lady got me a new phone for Father's Day so I can take pictures now!

Got the spares mounted and strapped down

 

Gotta catch up on the build thread since my old phone camera sucked i hadn't took much pictures of the progress.

Redid my bumper since it got ripped off when I did the LT. I plated the horns to the frame for reinforcement. Also threw on some AVEC 7" hids to match my AVEC led head lights.

 

Made this today. Gonna mount it inside the cab. ABS sheet is 12" x 12", should mount nicely on the wall behind the seats. Relocating battery to the bed as well.

 

Ordered these to get rid of the make shift ones I had

 

Thanks @BrownMike

 

Made sliders about a month ago, finally put them on

 

Got new head unit and speakers. Crutchfield had buy JVC head unit get JVC speakers 1/2 off when you buy 2 pair. So I got an extra pair of speakers. My single cab only has door speakers so I plan to add the other 2 since I'm deaf

 

Got some 80mil butyl sound deadening mat from Amazon. MAT66 was the cheapest I found for 36 square feet. I had got some Noico 80mil butyl and that stuff is thicker then this stuff. Thats what happens when you get the cheaper stuff. I'll do the driver door then start on the cab

 

when you did the front end kit was anything in the way like brake lines AC line ect.

 

Brake, fuel and AC lines were all in the way. I just gently bent them n pushed it out of the way

 

Ya thats what I thought after looking at my engine bay, how much did the kit lift your truck, I have 3 inch lift spindles and im wondering if I should use my origanal ones cause i want it to sit low

 

I haven't done anything so I haven't checked this thread. I picked up some tools though.

Aircraft rivets, rivet set, clecos, cleco plyers, buck, n I already had the air hammer with adjustable pressure. For when I do my center console and battery box.


Dimple dies from eastwood. I'll probably only use the small 1/2" and 1" but eastwood is pretty reasonable on their prices so why not.


Digital angle finder to help me with the cage that I hope goes in summer

 

OE spindles would keep it lower but then you'll be stink bugged ones you do the rear. I removed 3 leafs from my F67 pack cuz it was too high n a bit stiff. I. Pretty level now how it sits

 

Haven't done anything. Truck was parked for a few months. Washed it n started driving again. I missed driving this thing

 

This came in today. Got the Essex with mass backing from rockauto.com. The new carpet is soft n plush, hoping the added thickness will cut down on cab noise

 

So this happened

Passanger side UCA mount ripped off

 

That's a bummer bro. How?

 

Semi truck didn't got in my lane n I had no where to go so drove up a curb to avoid getting hit
