Project: DBL BLK ◇ by ToyRyd

Finally got the tires mounted, alot smoother than the pit bulls and seat of the pants feels like it moves a bit faster.

 

Trucks looking good! Did you get the frame height down?

 

Thanks!

Ever since the wider axles, almost flat spring perches has helped get the truck in proportion. Frame is 25" almost 26". Truck is wider than it is tall which helps quite a bit compared to the old toy axle that was almost a perfect square (tall/wide)

 

Got some new Corbeau seats, factory ones were just about done for the first 20years of their life.

Replaced with some Corbeau Moabs. Some people have complained about the seats, but my first road test to Rausch Creek (2.5hrs) to watch some Ultra 4 racing turned out to be very comfortable and happy with the seats cushions. Lumbar and heated does help as well. Corbeau brackets also fit nice and all holes lined up easily which was a welcomed plus.

Bought the heated seats and lumbar seperate, ended up being very easy to install, highly recommend vs what the manufacturer charges for the seats to be "ready".




Then also replaced the old 9-10yr old Bilstein 5125s with the new B8 5165s. Apparently these are v2.0 of these 5165s that the first gen use to leak by the reservoir.

Looks nice, and was able to make the reservoirs fit nice and tucked up out of the way.








And then of course some Ultra 4 pics, 2 former Kings even made it out so that was cool to see as well. #Miller and #Blyler

 

20 years of frame rust and now to clean up an upgrade/box. Couple shots from my neighbor who helped me out as well. Took a good solid week of work.

New tank/lines/evap/brake lines and misc coming next.
