I have the same truck! Badass civic too

 

Nice! Thanks man its a work in progress.

 

I used to have a 2000 Civic Si... loved that car; might be buying another here shortly too.

 

Nothing really new since I bought the truck, added front Husky mud flaps because of all the rocks and stuff the duratracs were flinging up and my battery died over this last weekend so I replaced it with one from Battery World which has 1000 CCA, nice boost from the original battery I was still rocking. I also installed the illuminated 4x4 switch

Currently looking into a nice set of sliders and doing a lift. I think I've decided on Bilstein 5100 all around with OME 885 coils and 2" AAL. Not sure if I'll need anything else with that setup so input would be appreciated!

 

Any plans on running bigger tires

 

Not sure about tires, my truck is primarily a daily driver so I don't wanna go too crazy that's what I have my car for

 

So it turns out my lift has been moved a substantial amount from previously planned, turns out one of my front shocks is blown and my rear leafs are super soft so time to change it out. Figured it makes more sense to lift now than change suspension twice so I'll be ordering the following in the next couple days more than likely

-Full OME kit with 885x coils and Dakars
-Trim packer
-1/4" top plate spacers
-Carrier bearing drop
-axle shim
-LR UCAs

I'm stoked to have it lifted just timing isnt the best, I'm in the middle of reworking the suspension on my car too so my tax return is already spent with the lift kit and suspension for my car haha. Ah well stay tuned for lifted picks...

Oh and I have a set of Rigid Duallys coming too, couldnt pass up the deal in that group buy thanks to Chas.

 

So I guess this is happening haha. Still need to order LR UCAs and replace the 1/2" spacers I got by accident and install next weekend hopefully

 

Nice!and how's the Honda coming along

 

Not too bad, it's been on jack stands since October waiting out the winter. It will be getting new suspension too when my tax return comes in

 

So I'm still waiting on parts to show up to install my lift. 1/4" spacer should be here next week, got my UCAs in on Tuesday as well as my Wheeler's recovery strap. I may have to wait on other parts now because when I was changing my oil earlier today i found my driver side front axle is leaking from the diff.... So I'm probably gonna do the ECGS bushing replacement and axle seal at the same time as the lift so gotta decide on that in the next couple days. Starting to bother me walking by all my parts just sitting there haha.

 

Install day tomorrow finally! I'll report back with pictures!

 

So finally got my lift installed this past weekend. It was a huge PITA to install but its done now haha.

 

Nice!

 

Looks good! What gave you problems?

 

Just seemed like everything was fighting me and took way longer than it should of. And when I was taking my front tires off my wheel lock key snapped and took a chunk off the lug itself

 

Ohh, alright, because I plan on doin a lift in the spring and I'm guessing I'll have similar annoyances

 

Yea everything is nice and straight forward to install just stubborn bolts start to wear on your patience haha.
