Lose_money's - Not your Typical 808 Build

From what I read in the guidance, it said to stand over the fender flare and look down to see if the top of the tread is under the flare. It does look close.

 

Yea my old truck didn't pass I had to put the garden trim, took it off as soon as I got home

 

What do you think about this build? Looks good to me. Also, did you have to bolt the trim in or just double sided tape it?

 

Used the existing bolts that the flare was attached with. The guy told me no tape. I'm thinking this will pass

 

When my lift gets in and I get tires put on, I'll be sure to update you about my experiences! I guess I should make a build thread :\

 

Haha right on looking forward too it. And yea make one so you can throw your pics up

 

Did you get the 700# coils?

 

No 600 don't think ill add a bumper ever. If i do its in the far future

 

I think your Pop's should trade that 83 for a nice 99

 

Haha he wouldn't even take my 16 for it and he got a mint 85 too still. He's looking for another early 80s to do and getting ready to do a ls swap on this 83

 

I love that truck.....if I didn't live in a condo with my 2 parking stalls I would definitely find one and restore it. Oh well maybe if I move back to the mainland one day, it will happen

 

Haha yea that must be frustrating. I would need a garage. Where are you from on mainland

 

Florida...but I've lived here for 16years and been gone from there since 1994....but my family is still there

 

That's a long time, you wanna move back to Florida?

 

Want too......not really....but the cost of living is so much better and I can still surf (obviously no comparison to here) better schools, better traffic....free shipping ......still not 100% that's the plan but more than likely it will happen at some point

 

Free shipping haha that's an incentive

 

Pulled this out of my tire. Don't ask how. Pluggged it and bought a new one in case

 

You take this thing off-road yet? Such a sick truck, anxious to hear how the suspension and tires are wheeling.

 

Mahalo man. Unfortunately on o'ahu there's only one or two public places to go off-roading. Since installing the lift I've went once but nothing crazy so I'm still anxious to get off-road. I'm looking back to move home to big island soon and there's a lot of opportunity to off-road there
