marks expensive toy build

Well you have had a wonderful Christmas already. Merry Christmas sir

 

Merry Christmas to you too sir! Happy New Years too!

 

And you as well! I see your compiling a few mods to start the year off right. All I need now is some warmth I'm done with winter already and it hasn't even been all that cold yet

 

Hahaha Virginia can't be that bad. Just need some wool socks and a couple swigs of Irish whiskey and it will feel like summer again!

 

It's not bad yet really I just like to bitch. I'm old and grumpy

 

I would like to be somewhere I can wear shorts and a t shirt year round

 

my girlfriends parents keep trying to bribe us into moving to tampa bay but i have an irrational fear of floridas reptiles so thats not happening.

 

I lived there when I was young, so a lot my time ago, your fear s aren't irrational

 

hahaha i knew i wasnt a crazy!

 

And now it's worse they are also being over run with pythons and they have snake heads and piranha in the water

 

I'm never going to Florida again.

 

lol I'd go in a minute. I may not stay long but to visit would be nice. I love Dinner sneaky and Universal I want to go to Harry Potter bad

 

Well I got my girlfriend an all expense paid weekend at hogwarts Orlando for 3 weeks from now! Come on down they have butter beer! (I don't know what that is but I hear tell it's pretty tasty)

 

tomorrow i get to install my new dirt king lower control arms and weld on some total chaos cam tabs to replace my stock ones that are all shit. For the record i never claimed to be a good welder.

 

Are the LCA's stock dimensions or are you going LT

 

the are stock. im going to rebuild my king coilovers with the different bushing to extend the travel a little bit. I love the idea of long travel but i live 10 minutes from NYC and people here drive like complete morons and i think right now the sway bar is something i cant go without.

 

Thanks I'll need to rebuild my lowers at some point and haven't really looked at aftermarket ones I may have to now.

 

i could have just thrown another set of crappy stock ones on but i hate spending money on repairs, so i decided to spend even more on "upgrades" . i havnt been able to drive the truck for a couple weeks now because the tabs are folded over and the control arm bolts are seized so my control arm is kindof just flopping around down there clunking and carrying on. Although i havnt even installed the dirt kings yet i can tell you they are super impressive. built strong, heavy, top notch welds, and they just look good. i cant wait to see how they look on the truck.

 

welded on the total chaos cam gussets today. it was a bit of a pain in the ass but its not the hardest thing iv ever done. dirt kings look great and its a huge relief not to have clunky junk up front anymore. I will give this advice to anyone who is planning on replacing their lower control arms or bushings.... DONT BUY MOOG ALIGNMENT HARDWARE!!!

 

so i installed my prinsu cab rack today. i had painted it with rustoleum bedliner which i think would have been a great idea had i primed it first so im sure i will be redoing that in the future. i have a 30" rough country black series light bar and will finish the wiring tomorrow. im not sure yet how i feel about the new look. but heres some pics!
