b2300 Build Thread

[floodz]

Well, I've had my truck for over a year now so I guess its time to start my build thread. I bought it in Nov. 07 for 2k. It had 98k miles, runs great, but had no power steering (which it still doesnt). Maybe someday Ill upgrade for it

Heres the truck when I first brought it home. Flipped brackets in the rear, stock height up front... Looked like one of those old sagging Cadillacs. That gold accord to the left of it was my previous car.

Then I went to work and finished up the interior. The diamond plate floor mats came with the truck tho.

First Mods:
Installed LeBra Soft Tonneau

Flipped Rear Brackets back to stock position

Green UnderDash Lights courtesy of Glow Shift

Apline H/U w/ poineer 4x6's in the doors and 6x9's in the rear along with an LA Sound 800w amp
Also my feeble attempt at installing one of my old woofers which didnt work

Right now Im working on uploading the rest of the pics of my build thus far. Check back soon!!

If it were 4x4 i couldnt agree with you more, but for me, 2wd is low and slow!!

Lol, I like that. I actually call it Raaka Kone which means "Mean Machine" in my native tongue =)

So next up I needed to get rid of those chicken legs in the back, not to mention they were firestones. So I headed off to Pep-Boys and got me some 265/50/15 Futura Super Sport GLS's. I mounted them on 15x8 Cragar Nomad I's

Next thing on the list was to lower it all the way. So I did.

I also needed new tires up front so I picked up 2 15x7 cragar nomad i's and wrapped them in Kumho 225/50/15's. BTW those tires were terrible. Somewhere in there I also gutted my kitty and threw on a cherry bomb.

hey, at least you have a name for your truck, i never can decide on one.

not many vehicles can pull off white "wagon" rims, but they fit your truck rather well.

 

[pickuptrucker]

looks pretty sick are you going to leave that cherry bomb hanging down? what is your native tongue by the way? it sounds cool

 

[floodz]

Thanks... Yeah, its just there temporarily. Im planning on doing a motor swap when I get back to florida so im just gunna let it chill for now. Not really my native tongue but my ancestors are from finland so i know most of the basics.

i never had chance to see your build thread, nice truck!! i really like how its coming, any updates??

 

[rngr4x4beast]

dam that thing looks good

 

[red93terror]

i like the white out approach. looks really clean and smooth. You see so many loud colored/multi colored lowered trucks, that this is almost refreshing.
