Sounds like a plan. I would probably add "drop it a few inches" to menu, but nothing major since its a daily driver. Its good to see another young guy "Just Say NO" to accord and civic crowd!

Be sure make you post on the projects and builds board and document your work.

Oh yeah, and take plenty of pictures!

hmm seems i did forget to add in there drop a coupleinches, i was thinking 2" in the fron and 3-4" in the rear to level things out. And as far as "rice burners" go i cant stand the high pitched whine of them. I love the sound of a blown v8 or a cammed v8. Thats exactly why my truck has a mild cam.

and dont worry plenty of pics will be taken

pretty solid lookin truck, not bad

anyway i had the same problem but started out different. the switch that i originaly had had too much play and wouldnt automaticly go fully into neutral, which turned off one of the tail lights. the switch i ordered had a different hazard button than the original switch had, so i tried modifying it so the original button would work, but wen i tried it the signal lights wer all SCREWED. but got another switch and everything works fine. im 16 myself so im not exactly the best at modifying things just yet

sam here with the ricers, hav a coupl reving ther fart cans in front of my school, god i cant wait till April 17 wen i get my licence and shut them up using a purple farm truck

68c10guy · 03-20-2008, 08:23 AM
