Bubba's79 · 04-20-2010, 06:13 PM

By the way your sister says we are huge dorks for spending time on this site i told her she just doesnt get it lol.

Driveway Dreams · 04-21-2010, 11:17 PM

Thanks guys! Yes, the plaid will continue throughout the interior. But I will keep it fairly subtle. Should be a fun touch.

*Stitch* · 04-22-2010, 12:40 AM

if you have some more of the plaid, we could put it into the seat covers like you were thinking...

Jhogan830 · 04-22-2010, 12:42 AM

Ya, but it isn't UV protected though. I need to get some $ together after the motor stuff and then I am gonna figure out seat stuff. Maybe just using the colors from the plaid. I do have plenty left though.

HAHA gerald an old timer ! thats funny right there!

Driveway Dreams · 04-23-2010, 11:39 PM

Bob, thanks!

We are not all old timers. I only have a little over a year on here. But thanks for the feedback to all of you!

Bubba's79 · 04-24-2010, 05:25 AM

i know thats funny

Driveway Dreams · 05-04-2010, 12:19 AM

So, I took an hour or so over the weekend (Saturday) to clean up and repaint a few little things on the truck. I painted the wheel wells a medium silver. Trimmed up my control arms where they have been rubbing at turn. Removed my bump stops. And painted the control arms again, not that that lasts long on the bottoms of them, but I did it anyway.

Sorry, no pictures of it all.

Driveway Dreams · 05-07-2010, 12:19 AM

So, I was checking tire pressures today and noticed that my truck can catch flies...and not on the front. Made me chuckle, so I took a pic to share with you all. Look at the middle bar on the "E".

Jhogan830 · 05-07-2010, 03:59 PM

gerald! i'd like to know where you got the "generic" perches and springs! i was wondering if you had any probs with the AIM spindles? i am thinking of going that route too, im tired of the melted springs and have about 300 to work with right now! and if i could possibly get some pics of your flip kit on the truck that'd be great! thanks!

Driveway Dreams · 05-17-2010, 12:51 AM

I got the perches & springs from summit. The spindles have been fine. There are mixed reviews about them, but no problems here. They went on well, took alignment fine. All around ok in my book. There are pics somewhere of my flip, but I will try to get on my pc tomorrow and get some for you.

thanks! im going to look into it! i was thinking of getting a bag kit and some bicycle valves for the front, but i think springs will be less headaches, haha

Driveway Dreams · 05-17-2010, 11:26 PM

Don't mess with bags unless you are gonna set up a compressor & tank. It will just be way too many headaches. Here are a couple pics of my flip. And one more. Think I needed to change the exhaust?

*Stitch* · 05-17-2010, 11:37 PM

where's the pics?
