SeattleCoug's Black Beauty Build

The final install will come Wednesday when I can put my headliner back in!

 

Rearview Mirror Installed​

"mmm like a glove"

 

She had to go to Les Schwab cause of a nail. Caught the flat at 15psi while I was helping a buddy move a TV

 

The I came home only to find my extended rear brake line and front diff drop kit came in the mail!



Now I'm just waiting on those dang all-pro expo leafs, my rear 5125s and the BPV bracket from B.A.M.F.

 

Toytec Front Diff Drop Kit Installed​

Still waiting on my All-Pro Expo leafs, should be here at the end of next week... for now, I am forced to rock the bro lean

 

Looks sweet man. Yes it will be better without the lean.

 

The countdown has already begun. I just need an excuse to spend a grand + 500 on new tires/wheels.... this lift will do

 

Just purchased these:

$318 Rigid Industries 50231 D2 Driving Light, (Set of 2)

Where did you get the drain plug and what is it called

 

I'm also looking to get a set of stock 15" steelies so I can sand em down, prime em and then paint em and mimick Sir1123's stance he has going in this picture:




I figure they'll look just as good as the Pro Comp wheels that I want and a set of 4 will cost the same as a single Pro Comp rim

 

I believe it was this one:

I'm not 100% it was this exact one, but it was along the same lines as this plug & play. Pricey, but it will make oil changes A LOT faster, cleaner and less of a pain in the ass for the years to come.

 

Tint Preview​

Got my fronts tinted to 20% to match up with the rear windows

This is what the specs on the tint were:

Okay maybe it's not fair since I washed the truck for the after shots, but you get the idea

 

Looks so much better! I want to do that with mine but I didn't know what tint to go with, did you do it yourself?

 

No I took it to a local shop around here that has all 5/5 reviews (23 of em) on Yelp. The reputation was true about the joint, the job was done with good workmanship, all in all took the guy just over 40 minutes and cost me $130.

I would definitely go with the 20% up front. It blends in very well with the rear factory tint. I took a look at doing 35% up front since I might have wanted it to be legal (24% is legal here in WA) but it definitely wouldn't match up and would look weird being WAY lighter than the rear windows due to less tint percent on those fronts and all that sunlight coming through the windshield

 

Well I'm a happy camper, UPS brought this to me today

 

Just purchased LightForce 240 Blitz lights & the wiring harness. Ohhh boy

 

ooooh got these LightForce's today, they look good next to my D2s, now just waiting on my switches to come (1-3 days) and then my Elite front bumper (end of November)

 

Hey man do you have your old center consule? Awesome looking truck. I have a 96 with 75 orginal miles. Im going to be putting bucket seats soon.
