Hunters Build, Dream truck coming to life....

what are those LED lights on the botton of your fenders? that ballsy, they're gonna disappear when u start flexing real quick lol

 

Truck is looking SWEET! Big reps for doing it yourself!!! I gotta admit I love the look of the ARB bumpers. Looking forward to seeing the sliders mounted.

 

Looking good man! New shoes next?

 

Im a Firefighter, they are my emergency lights. I flexed before ans they were fine once I get new shocks flexing again to double check

Thanks I seirously put blood sweat and tears into it, thought I broke a knee cap, have a pop knot on the back of my head bruises all over hahaha. But im glad I did it myself! If something messes up in my front end I have the feeling I could fix it instead of paying someone to do it.

Sliders just got painted but they said they wont weld them on because of liability so Im going to find someone else to do it.

I love my ARB bumper, im going to take a lot more pics tomorrow!!! Stay tuned!


Also possibly buying some konig counter steers soon!

 

Tow the boat for a lil bit and the back will sag to where its supposed to be. Oh yah nice build and get some meats

 

Looking good

 

Looks good man! Hope the rear works out for ya...maybe they just sent the wrong part# or a collar can be added inside

and blackhawk is right bout them leds....mount em up inside out of the way....gonna get torn off later. (maybe ontop of the frame under the bed)

 

Thanks for the input, no offense but I'll let them get ripped off. That means new ones hahahaha!

JK I'll relocate them somewhere.


Well trying to find some decent rims for a decent price, I'm looking at the cragar ones but see people have clearance issues...

I want 4" back spacing so it has that aggressive profile and gets the tires out so I can run a little wider.

I thought about spider spacer things but not sure if I trust those things....

I love the countersteers konigs but 900$ kinda pushes me away LOL

 

Truck looks bangin, Gotta guy over in jersey sellin a set of 5 bad ass rims n tires for 1300. the 5 tires alone are more than that, you should get those.

 

Talked to TJM, the rears where correct for year and truck but not correct on size.

Link?

Lol

 

Ok guys told you I would get a lot of pics sorry it took so long!!

Ok first up, I have a question, is my rear end tweaked? I dont know why but when I was under there. It just looks crooked.... I dont know how to explain it, I havent had my 4 wheel alignment yet so could that be it?

Kinda making me nervous now, its crazy. I dont know why but I tried to take a lot of pics to help it be seen.


2nd question, I keep hearing this bump sound in my front driver side area over any bump I hit. I took pics I double checked the bolts does anything look odd?


Ok PICS!!!

My favorite pic is the last pic

 

Old stuff, fog lights will be up for sale soon

leafs are spoken for I think

old shocks and coils are for sale/free LOL












RAWR











This is the one I am hearing the clunk/pop/lose thing from. I checked the bolts does anyone see anything?

 

Just one thing, you need a Big Blue UK sticker in that back window to cover up some of that ugly Cardinal Red you got going on! haha.. Loving the truck man.. Some black rims would indeed set that thing off real nice!

 

Stole this idea from someone













OK my rear end I said I think is crooked, am I going crazy? Here is a pic form the back (looking towards the front of the truck)







Ok now this is facing the rear of the truck










She needs a bath














My favorite pic

 

Good idea I didnt think about that!!! Thanks and reps!


Also did you see what I was talking about my rear axle?

I think I'm being weird but it looks off!



edit no reps I have to whore out a little bit first lol

 

Yeah I made sure the pin was centered, (here comes the but), but I let my friend do one side DER!

So looks like I'm going to be ripping back into it tomorrow, think any damage is done? Besides uneven tire wear haha!


Glad I got under there and took some pics, wouldnt have noticed that for awhile! That could be a possibility why I have a drive line vibe as well (I can hope!)

 

No shims yet, ordering them monday. I made that thread and you helped me out on it

Yes vibes between 4-18mph hoping though that it might be because my axle is slightly crooked haha who does that?

Trying to wait to put my shims in for when I get my shocks as well that way I hopefully dont have to keep tearing into the rear end!

Man I thought the front would be the hard part

 

10-4 I might tear into it tonight, depends on how froggy I'm feeling!


I feel kinda dumb but hey atleast I caught it!

Just so I'm sure when you tightened the u-bolts down you do it in a cross pattern right?

Like, top right, bottom left, top left, bottom right. Correct?

 

I want to wait, but the way it looks (my axle is crooked) it bother me very bad so I might just try to fix it then wait on the other stuff. (I'm kinda OCD).


I didn't have a good torque wrench but used a older one I think it was around 75lbs not sure how much I trust it.

Hmm might be looking at a new torque wrench if that could be a issue.

 

Definitely a good choice. A torque wrench is something you will get a lot of use from. I use mine regularly even when rotating tires! You gotta trust your tools. It becomes even more important when doing bearings and such!

Truck is looking awesome, keep it up!
