New bumper build and turn signal relocate

R.DesJardin · 01-31-2010, 09:57 PM

Well just finishing up my new plate winch bumper gotta Warn waiting to bolt in. Also I moved the turn signals to the front clearance light by adding a 1157 socket and yellow bulb. Can't show it flashing cause it's a still photo, right?
Oh yeah I want no crap about the tires the IROK's are on the way.

TinMan · 03-02-2010, 07:39 PM

Are you the guys that guys e-mailed me wanting a console just like that?

Just kidding. Thanks for the feedback, I'm working on new sliders this week and maybe a install of the front locker(if I get time).

Got the sliders done a week ago but been too busy to post pics. The 63" Chevy's are next to do.

broncrider · 03-20-2010, 01:16 PM

i like those sliders! what size metal did you use to build them? Think you could get a couple more pictures of them and how you attached them to the frame?

camo31_10.50 · 03-20-2010, 01:39 PM

VERY nice truck bro! but ditch the bug shield LOL

I made them out of 2"x2"x3/16" TS with 1-1/2"x1-1/2"x3/16" TS to the frame, welded.
Yes, 36" IROK's. Bug shield? no no my friend that's an aerodynamic device to decrease lift and allow me to hit 60mph on the level.

TinMan · 03-21-2010, 05:33 PM

Hey man how about some build pics on the bumper. Going to be starting my front soon, and I like yours.

Sorry man no pics, I just cut and welded til I had somethin that I liked. By the way the outer ends are storage compartments for chains, straps, etc. I just haven't cut the hole in the tops to put the lids on yet. That I'll post up pics when I do it. Really I will, no I'm seriuos, no kidding

R.DesJardin · 03-27-2010, 06:49 PM

Well I fabbed up the needed parts to install a cable shifter in my truck this weekend. I had ordered a heavy duty shift cable for this a few weeks ago but had been too busy to get it done. Forward to reverse with no worries. I still need to rework the console to fit the new shifter.

graduatedpine · 03-29-2010, 08:58 AM

Nice, love that whole center console!

R.DesJardin · 04-03-2010, 07:33 PM

Went wheelin south of town, the scenic shots are looking at Oregon and Idaho from Washington. It snowed off and on all day. I'll have to go back next weekend. First time out with the IROK's and it locked up front and rear, what a blast.

R.DesJardin · 04-23-2010, 08:50 PM

Did the 63" spring swap, heres a few pics. The truck had 3" Rancho lift blocks on the back when I started and it looks like with the springs on the frame I'm right were I was. I still need to add shackles in the back and add longer shackles on the front and probably get about 1"-2" inches more. The new shock mounts are on the way. Still have to pick up some bump stops too.
