almost finished,gotta prep front axle,as soon as i get it(probably this week)
and ive came up with a bolt patern for the 4cyl E-brake kit,gonna have to weld some on it and cut too,gonna post some pics ,need to weld my new front driveshaft ,as for the rest well i got some minor touchups here and there,and ill be all set to get it out,and give my first impressions on a very very different truck now!

 

Looks great! How did you paint it?

 

ah, thats such a sick build up.
im diggin every part.

 

thx guys,

for the paint ,as i said previously,i did the "50 dollar paint job" in witch consist of some high density foam brush ,just put about 1 third of paint tinner ,in your paint,and go very fast,aply light coats,and let dry,sand if needed and repeat,you can go and google "50 dollar paint job" ull get more juicy details!


FORGET ABOUT ROLLERS,makes little bubles in the paint ,go for brushes!!!

 

couldnt wait to put rear tires on!! lol

now with the tires on ive checked the bearing play,theres NONE!! and the height is fairly good,im a little scared that the front will be higher,but i think i should be fine!anyway thoses rear shackles they put in 1inch more lift.

the brake line is fixed on the diff,ill replace the old pic a soon as i take another!

 

dam thats sexy

 

Thats awsume! So you used a brush eh. Any pictures during the process? That looks fantastic

 

alright guys,i didnt had a camera,since mine broke(damn cellphone),but ill get some pics this week fo sure,but heres wut i did,

i had to rebuff the whole car cause the roller did an messy job,but now its ready for final coat;
(update soon with pics)

transfer case e-brake is still in process,im still in the process of customizing the backplate,of the whole setup;
(update soon with pics)

and i did alot of finishing up ,here and there,anxious to take it out!!

 

Did you do the roll and tip method? or just rolled it on

 

i did both but figured out the roller was a no go!!

 

ugh... finish already. I wanna praise ur truck and drool !!!

 

DUUUUUDE! Wow, your truck turned super SWEEET! How much doe you think you saved by doin the work yourself? cpl k anyway I bet...man, REAL NICE WORK....a true craftsman.

 

yea,and thats just part one,im defenetly not selling this one,

alright just a little update,im gonna loose the rear bumper,i was thinking about it for along time now,and its just extra weight(must be around 100kilo),i dont need that huge peice in the back,neither i need an hitch!!,so im droping it,making a light weight,dual tubing one,gonna be fun! and anyway it was limiting my shackle travel,so i had to do somethin about it!!

 

"little update"
heres a couple shots with no rear bumper;




heres one of my transfer case E-brake disc on driveshaft;



and im doing a custom grille,nothin complicated,just took the midle part out,and gonna fit a mesh grille in , im putting the grille tomorow,!
