wp silverado · 11-25-2009, 12:06 AM

mr mike · 11-25-2009, 06:00 PM

mr mike · 01-02-2010, 03:18 AM

ok I got the clutch in and now i need your help I am looking for some shocks but the kicker is that they have to be 8" fully compressed I looked at drop shocks but they do not go that short. If any one know a way to reallocate the shocks let me know Ill post some new pic soon. I got my bed cover on and my new rear bumper on and now i am working on getting rid of the bucket seats and putting in a bench seat so i can take the kids for a ride.

mr mike · 01-12-2010, 09:07 PM

I got the new door handles on the push button starter in and so on but the pic like i said i would the truck is so dirty i was out driving it
I am such a ho

kevncar · 01-13-2010, 02:39 AM

Push button starter? any pics of that? I've always thought of putting a push button starter behind the cigarette lighter as a sort of security device. Trucks lookin good, keep up the good work.

lumpy81 · 01-13-2010, 03:26 AM

Good job, I love the way this truck has turned out.

C.W · 01-13-2010, 04:50 AM

Very nice job so far. Still no rub issues in the front, even when turning or braking?

Keep up the good work and keep the pics coming.

How well do them Jeep Coil Springs hold up, I was afraid they would be to light of a gag and if even sitting on the tail gate would bottom it out?

Also what drop do you have in the front?

mr mike · 03-16-2010, 07:00 AM

the truck is a weekend toy, but with the jeep springs its fine but with the jeep springs and the 2 1/2'' drop block if you get in the bed and jump it with hit as for the front all i did was cut 2 coils off and cut off the bump stops. I am going to bag the truck at some point. I have all the stuff but the bags and the cups.
Thanks for all the kind words

mr mike · 01-13-2010, 05:55 PM

I am trying to D-side If i should go with the Cadillac tail lights or go with some led's I need some in put so fire away thanks

wp silverado · 01-13-2010, 07:15 PM

tomtuna1978 · 01-13-2010, 07:59 PM

ill agree with wp silverado ! the caddy lights just look out of place to me :/

davebloomer · 01-13-2010, 08:25 PM

I say nay on the caddy lights.

mr mike · 01-13-2010, 09:33 PM

So the nay's have it Ill be off to my truck cap place to see what they have.
Did any one ever gut the stock lights and retro fit L.E.D's in them.???

mr mike · 01-23-2010, 05:06 PM

So i decided to gut the inside of the truck It had the original sound mat and the rubber floor mat and then some green carpet cut to fit and then one more layer of tan carpet on top of that lol. I will be putting in some new carpet that i got from brother and a dodge bench seat that ill be picking up this week from the junk yard (all but mint) thank you cash for clunkers. Ill post pic soon.
