I believe that's on the list for this week. I'll take a look at that too. We need to have it ready by early next week for chili challenge.

dirtoyboy

so how much did this end up costing you to have done at a shop? just curious

AxleIke

I love seeing those sexy blue tubes!!

Killer build..

spaceycayce

Soon as I can find the cord for my camera I'll upload some more pics. I got the bumpers and some flexy pics. What's left: finish the sliders (a few welds and paint job), put on the rear shocks/shock mounts, and have the front driveshaft built and re-torque everything. Most of this will be done tomorrow and I believe the driveshaft will be measured and sent to be built as well (It's being done locally by a friend). Also, soon as I get it back I'll post more info here as well as in the community pages about mods etc. Wow did it grow from the IFS kit.

after lots of work and effort we got the truck almost back to 100%.
all that is left:
a. put on a 23 spline output flange for the t-case to fit my driveshaft (should be getting this tomorrow)
b. have custom exhaust fixed (shocks are currently in the way of the output from the muffler also to be fixed early tomorrow).
c.recharge ac -most likely Monday
d. Tranny flush/cleaning.
e. re-torque everything, etc.

Now for the fun part 1 pics:

A few missed front shots: (the metal plate was for part of the custom winch mount that he made for it.)

part 2 pics:



front bumper built and freshly painted, yes he did weld in the gussets and this sucker is on there.



picture of it hanging out getting a suntan. About to be driven for the first time.





Flexy pics !!! more to come

spaceycayce

That's it for now on flexy pics and build stuff, I will put up a profile and list all the mods and what not that was done to it. It drives quite nice. Oh that wall is about 4 ft high and it was destroyed once already so we had to take it easy on the wall.

nice! any plans to paint the body?

PoleVaulter95

that think looks awesome. front bumper looks really good what size of tires are those? keep us updated with how much your mileage changes or if any. becuase im curious about this.

faubrunner64

how tall is the lift you bought? and what size are your new tires, and what gears are you running? that looks awesome tho great job! oh how does it feel when it is flexed out... real tipsy or what? im worried about mine beign that high

spaceycayce

Yeah its decent, I put the 4" springs with 35's , 5.29's, lognfield super axles ARB lockers front and rear, many manipulated/cross gen parts to get it to all fit, custom exhaust (I need to get pics of it) lotta other fun stuff added in as we went. The tires are a snugish when I fully extend. I haven't had too much drive time on them as school has been busy and I'm still waiting for the t-case output flange to fit my driveshaft. Once I get everything torqued it won't be so bad. I do feel some of the tippy but I haven't gotten it in 4wd yet so. I like the flex so far in 2wd locked, I got it up about 30-45 degree walll that was 4ft high. See later pics. I sit decently about 78-80ish inches. I haven't tried to get it into to garage yet but its sitting close to the max.(82"). Anyway I should have the parts tomorrow or Wed so I can test it out some more. I like the ride (its a bit bumpy at low speeds but smooth after that) and having to figure out how to turn it, drive it, etc. My gas so far seems alot better intown I got about what I do on the highway. As far as the body I gota friend that does Rhino Lining in town so I'm going to do something like I think.
Anyway I gotta bolt for class Ill post more stuff later.

dirtoyboy

what was the final shop bill on that labor? just curious thanks. looks real nice

spaceycayce

Labor came to like 25 hours @ 60ish an hour I got a great deal on the Labor.
He put well over 60 into it.
I got one of the two items I needed to finish it. I'm hoping to get the T-Case flange tomorrow. Once I get the front driveshaft to fit right and it broken in I will post more pics. Also check my ride thread soon for them as well.
Oh I plan on probably "two-toneing" it with Rhino Lining on the lower half of the body. I also may repaint/line the bumpers/sliders I got some rust already from the 1st rains we had and we kinda did a half ass job at painting them.

faubrunner64

now when you buy the 4 inch lift does it equate to a total of 4 inches or becasuse of the shackels is it more?

spaceycayce

It was between 5-6" total with the shackles. We got 35's up under there.
