New England B.S. Thread

I figured. I have done it before but i was feeling lazy.

 

Got one on, here's a picture. What a pain doing this alone with buckets!



Next one is going on now

 

^ wow! an all nighter to paint and install sliders? Thats some serious commitment

 

Lookin good buddy!!

 

Those look awesome, Cam!

 

Looks good Cam.

 

It's cuckin fold out this morning too...

 

Holy shit cam...lol.

 

haha thanks guys! I'm borderline frostbitten right now, not to mention tired as all hell... but a guys gotta do what a guys gotta do. left side is on now and just making some minor adjustments to the right. Here's something important i should note as a warning for everyone (i dont know if your trucks will be different) but on mine the brake lines on the left side are near impossible to work around. my knuckles are cut to pieces because of squeezing around them and trying to get the damn nuts on the back side of the frame. the two nut up front in the boxed section of the frame were the hardest, i could barely fit my hand in there...

anyway warming up now. can't feel my feet lol

 

One 10mm or 12mm bolt and you could have unbolted the brake lines off the frame and it would have made that much easier.

 

Im about to start working on my sliders. I might set up a space heater in the garage and try to get it warm enough to paint in there

 

Did you by the Trail Gear sliders?

 

This weekend is going great so far. I looked at the truck today. Flawless. Paint is near perfect, drives great, 465 gears, perfect, frame,shocks,brakes, full suspension was just replaced. Filled for a loan, put a disposal on it and if things go right, i'll have it at my home on Monday night. Cant wait.

oh and when i was leaving 4 people came in and all asked me what truck i was getting. I said that 04 and they all screamed at me. Guess so many people wanted this truck. 2 came for Vermont and 2 from cape cod. I was the lucky one that got there right at 830 and brought it haha. what luck I have. Couldn't ask for a better truck.

 

Awesome.

 

2.7 manual?

 

2.7 auto

 

That's good news, Miguel! Hopefully all goes smooth with the rest of the purchase!


I got one slider prepped and primed today. What a pain in da balls! I'll get that one bed linered tomorrow and the other one primed hopefully. Autozone was out of bedliner so I need to locate a few cans by tomorrow or I'm sunk.

 

Thank you mike . Advance had some duplicolor truck bed liner in a can when I was there a few years ago. The guy said it was good Stuff. I used it on my ram bull bar and it was awesome. Didn't even sand it and it came out looking great. Try that stuff.

 

What did you end up paying for the truck. Y ou said you wanted to be at 12,500 I think

 

It went for 14,250 And I hassled to 12,500. I think it was a good deal considering its flawless. Almost looks like it just came from factory.
