The Frankenstein Build! LT/Expo/Trail rig..and BS

Since i added the plate bumper i no longer had the place for my stock blinker lights. Those are kinda important haha Some ppl rewire the marker lights that are already in the corner lights to become blinkers.(that light goes in the hole on the left) I didn't feel like doing any rewiring so i simply drilled another hole a bit farther down on the corner light(hole on the right) then took some files too it to cut the approriate notches in it to fit the stock blinker bulb in it at the same time as the marker light. So there are literally two bulbs in my corner lights now. But i didn't have to rewire anything. Not an easy mod, you have to be careful not to break the lights and you have to be exactly right with the hole size for a tight seal, but it works great.

I am planning on doing a write up on this if i can ever locate some clear corners that fit my truck.

heres another pic from another set i did.

 

Very nice, thanks. I want to move mine into my corners instead of my bumper. This is a great idea. I purchased my clears off of eBay.

here is a pretty good deal.

Wow thanks for the link! I haven't been able to find any for the 4x4. Only 2wd lol

Thanks! Ill be sure to show you the write up when i get it done! Ordering these babies tonight

And they are way brighter up there too thats for sure! More people can see it so it works better then where they actually go..lol

 

Hmmmm now i have an Air locker on tap...havn't heard from the guy with the E locker in a while..decisions decisions...

 

can someone sya 33x12.5 Km2s?? Hell yes! Coming soon also gonna put my other decals on here soon and have installed my clear corners as well..not sure if i like em yet or not tho..

 

No used for jon(45acp) basicly new tho. Put on same time as mine about the same miles and for a freaking epic deal. Just couldn't refuse really.

And you keep telling yourself that bud, I still have experience on you

But now I can't get a locker due to funds oh well. Like I said. Just couldn't pass up the deal

 

He is moving to WI so he can't have tires outside the fenders. So he is getting 255/85s. Can't remember what tire..

And I am looking forward to it haha

 

Yea and for 600 big bones for 4 tires driven on and a spare that is brand new...hard to beat that..

 

Yea they are nice rims too. 15" but let you run your larger calibers.

And you want a plate?? Or tube ya think??

 

Yea you can. Arms used are cheap don't look as good but yea. And wait for the next elite gb dude. A base bumper is only 500 then. What options do you want??

 

Your also going to HAVE to get better coils to take the weight. Your stock coils will die with that much weight.

 

Fogs are 55 extra and cut out is 10. Winch mount is standard. So during a gb you could get it shipped to you for like 650-700. Plus your a college student so you get 5% off the total cost.

But again you'll have to do suspension first

 

dude..that is the worst idea ever lol A) a 1'' aal will not even come close to the same height as the Eibachs B) your front shocks can't take the Eibachs as they would be over extended C) You'll need longer rear shocks or you won't have any

You gotta do it right man. Just get billy 5100s all around and the Eibachs and at least a 2'' aal. Even with a 2'' you'll get bro lean, and you'll get even more due to the topper. Then you need a new brake line and BPV bracket.

So basicly..you need like what..800 for lift? And 700 for bumper??

should be easy to get next summer. 1500 in upgrades? Easy man. Also you can make a down payment to Tim for materials and he will make it, but not ship it till you have paid in full. So you don't need all the cash at once. You do need better coils tho. The eibachs will give you 3'' of lift with the bumper easily. then you'll need ot lift the rear to match. Sooo...start saving man haha quite a shopping list. But a good one!

 

Okay well get trail gear then lol I think there is better but whatever

And NO! dude you can't just lift the front and then leave then back.a 1" aal ain't gonna do shit and you HAVE to get longer shocks. You destroy then if you don't man.

 

Your truck will look close to this man lol

post #68 haha

and your topper doesn't weight THAT much. its just not worth the risk man. rear 5100s are like 80 bucks each..

 

just put 5100's and ome springs in the front and 5100's and an all in the back. Easiest and cheapest 2" lift.

 

you'll still need 600+lb coils tho. And Eibachs are 3'' and that is on billy 5100s lol Which mean a nice adjustable coil over is your only bet. sooooo 700 bucks for your front lift only..lol

and why only 2??

 

true!

but he wants a plate bumper. He needs better coils for that.

 

Yeah, just go with an ome/5100 setup. But you'll have to upgrade your springs if you get the plate bumper. Ome springs have several different spring rates like 881's up to 886 i think.

 

ill never talk to you again if you put shitty ass spacers on your truck lol

only 880-883s fit 1st gens. And they rates are actually kinda low. Like 550 i think is the highest OME makes. Hence the softer ride.

and i have never had issues with vibrations..
