Well, Ive had an interesting month or so. Got 3 procomp 33x12.50x17 muds for $80 that have half tread, stumbled across a set of lvl 2 towhooks at a junk yard, about 3 months ago I got a PA body lift for $100... my wheels will be in this week. we attempted to do my body lift this past weekend but the 2 guys the "helped me" didnt do much of anything so we got the bed done... LAME! me and my dad are gonna finish it saturday morning and Ill add updated pics with the wheels and other tire that come in thursday or friday. anyways heres some pics.


raised the rear bumper yesterday



just some random pics (interior is getting redone soon I promise)



my 2004 specialized fsr xc and my buddy's 08 haro R1. Cant wait til he gets back from Iraq to ride again

 

Right on man! YOu're pretty lucky to find a set of those hooks! How much did you snag them for!?

Hope you guys can get the B/L done this weekend! I can't wait to see your new wheels/tires go on it!

 

Wheres the 4th tire? lol. but ya I'm super jealous about those lvl 2 tow hooks you got.

 

lol I couldnt beleive I saw em either! the truck was t-boned and I was looking at the front and there they were so I grabbed em for $100, pretty cheap if you ask me! Yeah dude, the lift will be done saturday and Ill be sure to post it up. I need to get my exhaust redone too hopefully before the meet... haha thanx bro

 

the 4th tire blew on the dude that had em, he hit a big metal chunk on I-270 I ordered a new one with my wheels from discount tire in lancaster. cool thing is the manager told me to bring in the other 3 and he can waranty them along with my new one and wheels! pretty cool stuff

 

100 for towhooks? ouch!

get it done, and get some gap guards

 

Itll be done saturday, unless i cant take it and take off friday. i just dont have the time to do it while driving it to work.

 

yeah, those hooks generally command a pretty good premium. thinking of selling my set...




NICE!! Can't wait to sit it up in the air!! Are you cutting your valence or modding the hooks?

 

ill prolly just cut my valance. was gonna paint it before putting it back on but the fusion paint is lighter than my paint

 

^^IF you do Krylon Fusion Flat Black, then cover it with Krylon Matte Finish, it is a very very close match to factory. Your truck's an '02, so all the exterior plastics are grey, so I'd assume you'd want to do black...

OR...do what that white 04 guy did....used SEM brand black trim paint.

 

I kinda want to color match it still, I was just going to spray mine with the fusion but its just too light

 

BEDLINER FTW!!!






Just spittin' out some ideas for ya. Colormatched valence with chrome bumper looks pretty good....

 

Thanx Shane! his truck with his new black wheels is what convinced me to do the colormatched valance. since my paint isnt the right shade I may do the bedliner until I get an edge valance

 

Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!! so much red!!!!

just kidding... looks like a run of good luck (for the most part)... it's coming together well!!

 

looking good

So is the new "in thing" the bed body lift only? Your the 3rd one to not finish kinda funny

 

haha yeah I was thinking the same thing about the half lift thing... I almost didnt post a pic but oh well. I remember when the "in" thing was to take your bed off for a pic lol the truck will transform in the next couple weeks as long as the weather stays nice.

 

Going to look good!

I want your gauges lol.

 

Can't wait to see it done. You are missing an exhaust tip.

 

X2!

 

how did you paint the soft part of the door panel behind the door handle?

 

yeah when I installed my aals I flexed and it must have broke my hanger so I came out one morning and it was touching the ground haha Im gonna redo it soon.

the door panel pad I took the door panel off and broke the plastic welds on the back and painted it, then put small screws in it to hold em in place. they need redone. its a pain but its worth it.

Thanx again everyone
