So, Shane has convinced me to finally make a project log. i'll just post some stuff in here about what all i am doing to my truck. I'll start with the begining.

Here is the truck like i bought it from my dad:





Much too high for me. So I decided I should lower it. DJM 4/5 FTW.

Shane and I started it at 7pm when i got home from work, and burned the midnight oil:




And its lowered!!!



Scored some Cobra wheels off craigslist:



Just some nice pictures of mine and my brother's trucks:



Got dogged too much for the Waag bar, so i took it off and threw it away! If no one liked it, no one was going to get it:


Put in some Edge seats...so comfy


And a sub! 10in Thunderform is enough for me:


Scored a Mazda gauge cluster off a member here....still need to put in:


And Shane scored some better door panels still need to put in:


Nice picture of the truck when i started school this year:


Finally found a good hood black already. So i threw that on:


Put on some PowerStop breaks and upgraded pads. Very nice mod!


I bought my brothers old 8.8 rear end to upgrade mine. I though while I'm at it, might as well put disc brakes on it. Did the 12inch vented cobra disc brake mod. Going to add a traction lok and paint it up once summer time comes:




Mmmm, i'm sure there is more stuff. I am also sure Shane has more pictures, lol. I KNOW more stuff will get done this summer when i can actually wrench on it....dam college consumes my life. I've just got to find a black edge bumper...or get the bumper i've already bought painted...the search continues!

 

Very nice man!

 

Awww G-Rant.... it's come so far!! hehe

 

Nice man

 

whens the steppie gettin painted and goin on?

 

looks great with the new hood, glad to see the hood scoops gone. nice work!

 

Lookin good. Now get that Mazda cluster in already.

 

nice log

 

very nic.. i wouldave keept the waag bar i liked how it looked!

 

not a huge fan of lowered trucks, but i am def a fan of yours and love what you did with it

 

Update:
Primer-ed up my axle for kicks. It's going to go to my gear guy to get a traction lok installed...once i order it:




Then i went to the junkyard and scored a BII rear sway bar. Actually, i got TWO bars....so I'll put one up for sale:



And while at the junkyard, i got another tailgate for the stepside. I figure I'll shave this one complete; handle and emblems. Just in-case i want to go that route. It is in pretty nice shape, only a little dent above the handle:



And the stepside bed as she sits until i can get working on it:


And the truck as she sits today:

 

i like it..that rollpan'd steppie will look sick painted and intalled

 

looking good man! slick looking truck

 

Grant...correction....pics posted under 'what it looked like when I bought it from my dad' are incorrect...you bought with those ugly corners I bought for it, no waag bar, those ugly flag mirrors, and no toolbox. NOOB! Get it right!

lol!


Good to finally find this thread. Good work lil bro. My truck was such a baby back then!!



oh...side note....I REALLLLY need to teach you how to take pics!!

 

mmmm Bronco 2 sway bar

 

looks real good

 

BII sway bar FTW. Want to buy my spare one? I'll give you The-Good-Guy discounted price

 

i got a BII sway bar in mine, and i love it


hey shane, or grant... what size tires were you running when you lowered it on the chromies, and did they rub at all?

 

What is stock size tires? 275/55/15??? What stock is.

It rubbed mostly on bumps, tight turns....it wasnt horrible, but i wouldn't run it that big.

 

actually stock size is 225/70/15's, i was told that i couldn't run a tire any bigger then 26" in diameter, the size you posted is 26.9" tall, and the one i'm running ir 26.6" tall

 

very nice

 

Sell me your WAAG bar!

 

caliper brackets are on the wrong side of the flanges in the after primer pics....

 

I don't need a spare bar Grant I still have Austins stock one in my garage missing parts lol

 

looks good man, nice pics. hey if you still have that front bumper brush guard that was on in the first few pics and want to sell it, will you send me a PM?
