i didnt have a chance to do it yet, i had a bunch of testing this weekend at cal state fullerton. i will try to go tomorow or wednesday and get a price. Im going to get a through body exhaust tip coated too when i get my grille done, but i will ask them what the price is for just the inserts and hit you up.

no rush man, just didn't know if you had time. CSUF is a good school.

alright. thanks man im super stoked to be going there.

Truck is clean. I have a standard cab sb for a DD and want to spruce it up a little while my toyota is getting done. Mostly something to cruise around the races and not bottom out on everything. Where did you get your spindles from? looking for some.

I got mine through a friend. But for 4" lift look at cst or springtech. Springtech is like a cst knockoff for half the price. And 3" look at fabtech. But fabtech is cast and the other 2 are fabricated and boxed so for the most lift and strengh go for the 4" ones.

Cool i was just reading and it says it wont work with the stock wheels?? Doesnt look like you have any issues?

you need 1/4 inch wheel spacers to use stock wheels. This is because the backspacing on stock wheels will cause them to hit the spindle without the spacers. I got mine off a member on here for 10$. Just look around and you should come up on some.

Cool I'm probally gonna get rims then instead of having spacers.Seeing that when I bought the truck it has 20's so I'll seel them and make some money towards new rims.

right on. Hope it works out for you.

aight. so i got my fiberglass grille shelle painted black got the bottom mesh done in white (painted) got 3 hella Rallyes for the front, amber for the rear, Aero turbine 3030 stainless steel muffler, spare mount, and a hi lift jack and mount. i shall post pics tomorow if i have time. im crunching to get my truck done by tomorow night!

You dont see too many longbeds. Good progress.

went to Barstow this weekend, it was over 100 degrees but it was fun. My truck did decent, and I hate my stockish suspension. Getting upgraded asap. But I love my new exhaust and the lights work awesome

what are your plans for suspension?

so your suspension doesn't handle well in the desert?

dude it handels alright but I haven't upgraded shocks or anything. But I have been wanting a lt kit and I don't think it helped riding in my friends 3 linked ranger. Haha what I have works decent but it's not exactly what I want.

alright. so i got my truck done to go to barstow and i have a few pictures. only a couple daytime pics and a few night. but exhaust sounds great, and lights work good and everything im stoked on. so here they are. more upgrades are coming very soon, but idk if i should let the cat out of the bag just yet

looks sweet! So when you gonna get LT?

thats an awesome pic man!
ur 3 lights are hallogen?

NOT SOON ENOUGH!! haha hopefully over the summer. i guess i will let out my plans right now. im getting 16" kmc enduros in black, fiberglass front fenders, fiberglass hood with louvers, F-O-A or Fox 2.5x16 triple bypasses, deaver f87 leaf pack, camburg spring plates and shackles, and im making a bed cage, finishing my bumper, and doing a rear bumper with 2 stand up spares. i have my rear bumper started, and once i get my wheels i will buy the glass and pull my bedsides. and from there do the back, and once the back is done i will do the front. And yes they are halogen unfortunatley. but lucky enough they have huge housings which is plenty of room for HID conversion which im going to do. and its way cheaper than buying any normal HID offroad lights, because offroad lights go for like 450 for the hella HIDS, and you can get brand new Rallye 4000 halogen for 120 each, and HID kits for h3 for about 60$ a pair. so your at 150 per light and you just saved yourself 300 each light and they are just as bright. my .02$

hey skip the 16s and just buy 17s. all race tires ie bajas grabbers and goodyears and so on are all 17s. and fucking deaver did raise the price i tried to get another set $1000. skip the camburg cancer go with gmr hangers and blitz shackles

your truck should be awesome when its all done! i was just gonna comment on the rear bumper, or lack thereof but read in the last post that you're gonna do it over summer. there are some f87s for sale on RDC right now if you have the money. i think theyre all used, but its cheaper to get them and have them looked over by Deaver. what LT kit are you gonna get?

how much are the gmr hangers? And do they sell spring plates or should I just get camburg? And here Is my problem. I have like 2 month old all terrains for my 16s an I wanted to throw them on new wheels.

I have to wait 1 month to get leafs. And I'm not sure. I'm talking to Ross at bbr about some ideas so either that or cst uniball kit if I can find a nice used one. Cuz I can't afford Ross's of kit but we are talking about a mid travel.

call them and ask, theyre worth the money though. Dixon Bros might have spring plates too, or sell the tabs that you can weld onto your stock plates. whats the problem with getting those tired mounted to new wheels?

1. get the wheels
2.take them to a tire place with the tires
3. pay them to install and balance
4. ???
5. PROFIT!

dirt e dreamer was saying to get 17s but my virtually new tires are for 16s so I'm not sure what I wanna do

shit didnt know they were that new. i just know i made the mistake of 16s and my walkers would hav been cheaper if i didnt buy 16s but you hav a valid point but race dezert the shit out of those tires lol. um pm jason and tell him kellan said to get the hangers or the shop number is 562-595-5410 and it will cost you about 1500 for his personal number hahah

haha aight ya those hangers are dope as fuck. And idk the tires are kinda off brand all terrains so idk if I could get much for them. It was like 500 for all 4 installed I needed new tires at the time, couldn't find any at the time on rdc, and I didn't have much to spend. But they are working good except for rocks are kinda tough on them. so idk. Cuz I would like to get bfg bajas 35s but I have to get 17s and I have new tires. So I'm kinda lost lol

fuck it mob em til they are bald and buy then you will hav saved enough to buy rims and tires. make sur eyou know that you truck is now you main source of outcome haha. i hav spent soooo much on this truck but i wouldnt hav it any other way

did you see this?

i am sure some are still available

hmm ya well I was gunna get the wheels for my b day which is June 22. So idk what to do lol. Maybe I could get my shocks and leafs for my b day and buy my wheels an tires myself once the 16s are done and save 2 with the most tread for my spares

gotta love birthdays! i think i'm gona ask for some bilsteins for mine.... hmm

get your shocks and leafs for your birthday. you can always find a good deal on tires. Run yours till they are done THEN get the wheels and tires ... thats my .02 cents

I'd do the same thing.

word. That's what I will do then. What kind of travel numbers should I expect with the f87 pack?

or better yet... ask for your long travel kit for your birthday hahahaha

haha it is my 18th but I highly doubt my fam will go that crazy lol. But one can always hope right????

haha my parents think my truck is a waste already lol. And they offered me a new car for graduation, but I want a new bike so I'm getting a 2006 crf450 and maybe I will pick up something else to drive in a few years who knows.

oye there Colin!
