Default heavyfire's build thread

well, it aint much but heres what i hot so far:

here is my new chassis tech 3" lift spindles ($200 from race dezert)



compared to the stock one



and of course the outer berrings on the spindle didnt fit so i had to buy some with a slightly larger inside diameter. (yes i did pack the new berrings with greese)



but eventually i did get them on




here is my work area while my truck is on jack stands




sooo here is the truck before (stock)




and here she is as of now




here is the bumper i just got today for 30 bux




plan to install the bumper next week sometime.

other plans: 31" all terrian tires, spray paint grille flat black, pre-runner style rear tube bumper, fiberglass front fenders and ??? prolly more that i just cant think of.
