SNOW ANGEL! Build Thread

5,500k LED mod:



The cab is torn down to bare metal now. Just waiting for a warm day to Peal & Seal, and finish with vinyl.

All the stuff also showed up for the deck plate mod.

 

Peal & Seal recommends 55 degree or warmer weather for the install, and it got cold this week, so in the meantime I installed new speakers. Note my precise Dremmel work:





I was a little annoyed I had to cut the plastic speaker mount as the Sony's I picked up ($35 a pair on Amazon) didn't fit. The back of them bulges more than the stock speakers.

Also did the deckplate mod. I haven't driven much, but it definitely feels like there's more power. Maybe it's the placebo effect, but I'll take.

My Dremmel work was equally artistic on the airbox, so I put some silicon around the plate before screwing her down.

 

At long last, the SNOW ANGEL is back ... Today I ordered:

• ICON Extended Travel Coilovers
• ICON 2-inch rears
• ICON UCAs
• OME Dakar Springs
• Pro Comp Series 87 wheels

I have a line on Toyo 285/75R16s, then I need a front bumper, and everything will be in place to transform this truck.

Stuff arrives next week. Can't wait to start twisting wrenches.

 

Good looking truck.

 

Well, after months and months of delays, I got the suspension in, wheels on, and MagnaFlow installed:

 

Rock sliders are getting welded on in a week or two. Rear bumper shortly after that. I still need a front bumper, and when that happens the new headlights will go in and grill redone.
