East Coast Baja Build

Whatchu got? So far I'm only at a 2" block lift (ya I know it's not the best choice but it was free) and it came with the bolts and spas for the front diff drop... The Xmas list has 5100 adjustables on it with the allpro ubolt flip kit with bumpstops.. From there it's mostly all interior and visual mods + a cb until I can start fabbing stuff up

 

Right now for the front I've got OME 885 coils on 5100's sitting at my house back in Arizona and then I'm looking for some rear 5100s and a rear AAL for the rear. Then also Light racing UCA's for the front. I've got a ways to go.

Also from what I've gathered it seems that for 2nd Gens, the Front diff drop is not really needed but thats just from what I've read.

Edit: And I as well asked for a CB set up, didn't ask for any of the lift components though... my mom, I mean santa... is not automotively inclined....

 

Sounds all like good gear! I'm lookin to add the rear 5100's eventually but for now I'll go stock till I can get the extra $100-200 for the rear.. And ya I know the diff drop isn't NEEDED but sense I got it I figured I'll reduce the stress on the CV's as much as possible as they're a pretty weak link in the whole system.

And in terms of Xmas list stuff and "Santa" not know what to buy.. I've found Amazon wish lists and emails with EXACT links to be very helpful, lol

 

I see!
And I actually did that for my CB stuff! It'd just be too much to ask for anything else.

 

Ya I get that.. Normally my list wouldn't be in the $400+ range but sense I graduating college this year... Let's just say they've asked for a bit more to be on the list

 

Nice! What'd you get your degree in?

 

Gettin it in anthropology but I don't plan on using it at all for anything other than being a degree... Kinda came to college with good intentions but now I'm leaving with the intent to do mechanics as I've always wanted to do..

 

I've done a fair bit of the cheap/free mods. That thread is a cornucopia of information.

Lift time

 

Tell me about it! Prob most er all of my extra cash is gonna go to the cheap/free mod list this winter... And damn you on the lift! I can't wait to get mine up a couple inches!

Finally have a real tow strap (not just some junk rope) and a couple of 3/4" d-rings for when my bumper gets here!

 

Bumper pics requested.

 

Nice truck man! Glad to see another Indigo Ink in the area - we should catch up sometime and grab a cup of coffee or something, I'd love to see your truck in person!

 

Havin some fun in a not-so-soon-to-be neighborhood

 

Thanks man!

 

SEVERE LACK OF PICTURES IN THIS THREAD. LET'S SEE FENDERS. LET'S SEE CB MOUNT. LET'S SEE EVERYTHING.

 

Taylor: soon to come, I want to get the fenders and shit painted before I through up pics of those

Matt: drilled and tapped them myself. If you payed them the $10 to have them drilled and tapped all you'd have to do is drill the stock bumps to match for the bolts but as long as you have a tap it's really not hard. I like having it but I'll admit that I'd like to eventually switch out the hard stock bump for a better, frame mounted one

 

Lookin' good Travis! I want to see some more pics!

 

SUBD for a sweet, low budget, build that I may look to for ideas.
