The Stereo just quit working one morning so I replaced it with a Pioneer Deck and 600 watt Amp

Thats all I did while I was paying it off, a month after I did on 2.15.09 a tree fell on my truck in the middle of the night, pic looks alot worse than it was new tailgate and a drivers side mirror and she was good to go

Next Mod Wheels And Tires

MaK92-4RnR 01-19-2010 04:17 PM

Took forever, but well worth it. just need some bigger tires now.. 33x12.50s for sure. :D

MKtaco_98 01-19-2010 10:30 PM

yup thats the plan 32s maybe

ibeamtaco 01-19-2010 10:38 PM

33s are big man they most likely will hit on cab side mine did i just cut out the section and welded and new piece in i tried just smashing it in with hammer but it hits hard when u up travel suspension best way to ck is remove coil over and cycle suspension with wheel turned left than right than you will see ware/if it hits
but looks good man i bet it makes a world of diffrence

93yotaSR5 01-20-2010 07:38 AM

33x10.5 maybe?
damn that looks nice.
when my 31's wear down i will lift mine a bit.

MKtaco_98 01-20-2010 07:44 AM

ya im thinking about going with a 32 11.5 r 15 dont have to regear and they fit with a 3.75 BS so no fender work

4.10's are too much for a street car... Perfect for a track only mustang.
