Sweet pictures and flex pix. Looks like you been putting your runner thru its paces.

 

Great pictures. That one would make a nice avatar. Several of them trucks flexing was interesting in the different ways each one was going in some of the pictures. ( The way the tires were pointing is what I am trying to say, lol)

 

Thanks guys! Yeah, Suzy-Q the Silverback has been pushed, hard, just since the body swap! Lil carnage on the passenger side door, but nothing i cant fix when i fix the nasty key gouge that some little a-hole put in that same door! Grrrr

 

HID lighting from Ddmtuning.com and roundeyes.com housings, THANKS TO Socal854runner!!! ? --> SUCCESS!

5k bulbs/high & low beam style....

















H4 VS HID.....

 

AC, 20 $ pick your part donor compressor swap; SUCCESS!

My original which I did finally retrofit after the r12 leak out, finally failed by blowing out the front seal.

Orig...



20$ donor from the 50% off sale at pick your part, that I went to with a buddy redeth005 & his lovely lady, Fabiola....



( I actually had to swap the high pressure side valve off of my original over to this compressor because for some reason it had a larger thread which I believe started in 88. The truck in the yard was I am pretty sure an 88 - 22re )

All4offroad.com LED rock lights, including to on the hood for engine bay lighting....

I still have the xkglow 18 podt it with wireless remote and relay installed, so now my engine bay lights are also on this remote. I gotta say though, his lights are way better! I wish I would have known that to begin with and I would have got maybe a 10 pack with the wireless remote and relay from xkglow and maybe 8 to 10 lights, or 5 pairs which are sold at $21 shipped a pair, from Renato at all4offroad.com. Anyway, here's a look at where I'm at now. I still have two more to install down the middle.... One on the front of my dual case cross member, and 1 on the cross support where the spare tire carriers to go at the very rear....

















I now have incredible work light conditions under the vehicle! Lol....ķ this was when I was swapping out the compressors for my newly refurbished air conditioning!)





Soldering in the wiring for the engine bay lights....

 

mark if the FAA call ya wanting to know why youve opened a new light aircraft airport
............................. LOL

 

Hahaha, Thanks Will! "Permission to land?" Lol

 

Nice thread and great job with Suzy-Q
Love the light work. Especially under the hood.

 

^^^X2 nice job on all the lights! Enjoyed your latest wheelin pics &videos as well! Did switching wheels with the different backspacing (wider stance) feel like it helped? I really liked the looks of the black rims on there, but the more I see the aluminum ones, I think I'm starting to like them even more!

 

I finally added the last to rock light pods from all4offroad.com. ... All four of those are running down the middle underneath and 2 in the engine back. So now adding these two more one in the back and one on the forward angled portion of the dual transfer case cross member from Trail Gear... Holy crapoli!

@all4offroad LED LOW PROFILE ROCK LIGHTS X 8:

 

Thanks man! That means a lot!

I did notice a little difference but even more difference from removing the leaf upfront and pulling the shell and putting on the soft top. Holy crap what a difference introducing the body roll! But I think at this point I might be going to soft tens.... I think that extra 2 inches with the same backspacing at 3.75 is really going to make a difference and I'm probably allow me to run my shell. I have a lot more to update that I've done and I also have stuff to do. I will be doing I change in the rear on my bumper and also will be going back to the trail gear 4 inch springs in the rear instead of the All Pro 6 inch, and running brand new Old Man Emu CS 009 R up front for a rear up front that should put me around two and three quarters to 3 inch lift and definitely wider with the tires, and lower front and rear, I think this thing will be pretty unstoppable!

 

Howdy, Mark!
I'm finally 95% complete on mounting the elevated roof rail from the Blazer I got from you. I added a third post/foot centered on the rail for more security. Now on to replacing the headliner.

How's yours working with the 3M 90 adhesive? Would you recommend I use that?

TIA,
Ray

 

I really liked the 15x10 w/ 4" backspace rims and 35x12.50 R15 I had on my 1985 Xcab pickup. No wheel spacers needed front or rear even with the 85s narrow 56" wide axles. It has a 4" Skyjacker lift spring up front and a 3" Downey lift spring in the rear with 2" longer shackle. 2" Body lift keeps tires off the fenders.

 

Right on, & good idea regarding the center support ! Well, I have found that adhesive to be really effective, even with this Closed Cell foam, .......which you know can have issues with many adhesives. Good stuff!

Hmmmm, I'm already tight in the fender well, even with the 1" body lift & 4" suspension, wearing 15x8 rims and 35x12.5's with 3.75" backspacing. And, I've wanted to delete the body lift, but the donor tunnel is too tight on the RADesigns triple stick shifter kit arms. I would likely have to trim for 15x10 rims.... And my next tires will for sure be at least 37's( which are nearly impossible to get in 15 inch rims anymore) ..... So if have no choice but to trim eventually, anyway, and would likely have to switch rims again.

I'd really love to get the wider and lower stance going soon here tho! (CS009R RUF or deaver custom packs up front, OR LINK IT......And something custom in the rear)
