Night Eagle's kind of a build thread

Pictures of today's work will come tomorrow.

 

Here are some pictures for you patient people.


New cam tabs gussets


Reinstalled LCAs with greased cams


Now the shiny new shocks in place


Also it fully installed

I want to thank @Squeaky Penguin for welding the gussets on and helping me out. we got the truck all aligned after the install. I have gained a little bit of lift from theseveral shocks. Which means I now need to work on my leafs pack so I can have some rake one the truck. We also went out last night and tested the suspension out on a trail that is 5 min from town. the front end has improved 10 fold. Hits that use to be rough or verge of painful basically felt like nothing in comparison.

 

Well it is time to make this officially to my build thread. I have add a very important mod to the truck!











































































I have done the best freind/Co pilot mod. He is a great weimaraner. I will probably picking him up on Dec. 31st. I have been wanting a dog for 5 years now and I am finally at a good point in my life to get one. I am still deciding on his name but it is down to Drake and Duke.

 

Best mod ever! Congrats man!

 

Thanks man! can't wait to go pick him up.

 

Got my best freind slash Co pilot today. he is a 7 week old weimaraner and his name is Drake.

 

Sub'd!

 

Welcome

 

cute pup!

 

Thanks he is 12 weeks old this week.

 

So I have some single row light bars coming for camp lights/extra back up lights but I am not sure where to put switch. Do you guys have an ideas on where to put the switch. I want to save the two blanks in the center for either heated seats or in cab winch controls.

 

Puppy/co-pilot update

He is starting to learn his spot in the truck.

 

The puppy on his daily walk. Went to vet on Friday and he weights 26 lbs already.





He could almost take flight with those ears.

 

Took this picture of Drake today. Every time we go out front, toward the truck, he thinks it is time to take a ride.

 

How do you like the 700# coils? I can't decide whether or not I want the 650# ones.

 

They are great. I have not noticed any settling since I out them on. My last set of shocks settled a lot and they had 650s on them. If you plan on having a front bumper skid plates and sliders I would recommend 700# coils. They will handle the extra weight a lot better.

 

Sweet, thanks! I'll have a steel Pelfreybilt bumper, RCI steel front skid, and RCI sliders installed on my access cab before too long, so I may have to make the jump.
