Ok, I figured Id post up a couple pics of my truck in here. Its only been in the lowriders section before. most of the work was done in 2 days when I had R&R from my deployment. the stereo was done over christmas. other than that hope you guys like it.






the brakes are 13inch cobras in the front and 12in cobras in the rear. its rolling on 20s that are for a newer mustang. the drop in the front is DJM, the rear is flipped shackles with chassis tech front hangers. the grill is an F150 grill trimmed down to fit. the headlights are south american factory headlights, the tails lights were blacked out with the VHT nightshades.

Very Nice . . . keep us posted . . .

I've done some time in the sand box as well (KBR Firefighter Afghanistan) so I know what your going though to a point. Thank you as well for being on the front lines brother - come home safe. :icon_cheers:
 
looks damn good.....get rid of the mud flaps though
 
Very nice, the brakes make me drool. Do you run a notch in the rear? How close are you to contacting the frame?

Thanks!
 
nice job. thanks for serving
 
Sweet. I can't wait to get deployed. How do you like it?
 
the cobra brakes are almost all bolt on. for the front I got the kit from racin' ranger on RPS, the rear I got the brackets from northracecars. you have to take the axleshafts out to do the rear brackets.

Iraq was hot and dusty. It wasnt too bad though, I was a gunner for a TAC the 15 months I was there. it wasnt too bad, but it wasnt that great either, there is always a PX even if it is out of everything, the chow hall isnt bad, and there is always somewhere to get online or to a phone.

No notch at this point, I do have plans for a SFBD and bags, but that may not be for a while. I picked up a 240Z over christmas and plan on making it fast before I tear into the truck more seriously.
 
Very nice. I like the rims on it and the wing is a nice touch !
 
Sweetness.

I can't wait for my deployment. I have plans involving SAS, a boss 302, and my ranger when I get back:icon_hornsup:
 
Thanks for the comments guys. Now that I have more time and will be in the US for a while the mud flaps are going to come off, its getting a new exhaust, and I may even find the time to wash and wax it. I just got to Ft bliss, I sign in tomorrow and my lovely soon to be ex wife will only meet me at a notary so I can sign the divorce papers. being single I will have a good bit more time for the truck and the datsun I picked up.
 
I was there 15 mos as well, 9 mos at scania then 6 mos at tallil. Where were you at? what unit? Red Bull by chance?
 
2nd stryker cav. I was at Taji, Liberty, and warhorse. Lived at COPs out in sector most of the 15 month deployment.
