heavyfire's build thread

[Heavyfire14]

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.

why do you have 2 build threads for the same truck?

 

[Heavyfire14]

i didnt like the name on the other one so i made another. if i can find a mod. ill have the other one deleted

dang your getting some good deals. looking good bu will look even better with some 31's or 33's with fiberglass fenders.

 

[Heavyfire14]

like i said im putting 31's on her soon but the fiberglass is on hold for a while unless i find another sweet deal.

haha that bumper alone is prolly worth like 200 bux and the spindles are around 400 bux... i love race dezert and craigslist

 

[Heavyfire14]

im never doing 33's unless i do a 4.0l swap. haha its only a 2.3l

 

[Heavyfire14]

Any suggestions?

 

[Heavyfire14]

haha yea gotta love craigslist. he said make offer so i did, and he delievered it!

 

[Heavyfire14]

got the tires !!! 31x10.50r15 bfg all-terrian t/a ko

in case your wondering, no i didnt pass smog. the battery died and reset the computer so i have to drive it an hour a day for 3 days to put information or whatever on the computer and then smog it again. and then in a week or two im gonna buy a new clutch. ugh... 700 bux that i dont have

 

[Heavyfire14]

FINALLY got my bumper on

sorry, no pics of the installation, i was way to into it to take any.

i had to cut the frame tips off, cut the frame in half, and then boxed it closed with 1/8 inch steel

also my neighbor gave me these kicker 6x9 subs. FREE

i just dont know what to do with them... maybe eventually ill get a bigger amp and add them to my sub box.
