This is the best advice for any man in a relationship.

 

It does help some that my alma mater's mascot is a bulldog, but it still works. When I got the internet hooked up last week, I named it "Dawghouse Wifi" lol

 

Guess its time for an update again. Got my front hitch, disc swap, and HIDs installed.
Front Hitch





Also got another sticker for the truck

Disc Swap




Glad I did the swap when I did, turned out the passenger axle seal was leaking onto the backing plate. Also changed wheel bearings, which happen to be the ones for the 7.5 even though I have the 8.8.
All Done!

Had to get a 2" spacer for the back in order to have it sit out equal to the front.



HIDs

 

Trucks looking good man! What kind of a welder did you use for the hitch?

 

Thanks Sam, it was a Miller 210 I believe. It took a while to get good penetration with it since I couldn't prep the surface very well.

 

Were you using flux cored wire or solid wire with shielding gas?

 

Solid wire with shielding gas

 

If you're worried about the welds not being that great due to the surface you were welding on, you could always pick up a roll of flux core wire and run some beads.

 

I know that they'll hold fine. My dad got good penetration once he burned off the residue on the frame and hitch.

 

Hmmmm

 

Thought you were supposed to be the mature one

 

^Lol

 

I am a spam banner.. nothing more, nothing less.

That front hitch looks killer btw.

 

Thank you, it lined up perfectly. I like having a hook up front now.

 

Where did you get the 4 way ball hitch with the hook?

 

Got it at work about a year ago

 

Truk lewks gud. Like that sticker too.

 

Truck looks great. That hitch worked perfect

 

Thank you. My original intention was to make it a bolt on inside the frame rails and still come out the valance, but only way to do that is to go completely through both layers of the frame and remove the radiator and condenser. I'm happy with how it turned out.

 

How much did the disc swap cost you?

 

About $500 give or take. Helps that I have an employee discount on the calipers and got 20% off online with the pads and brackets.

 

Little update:
Got the exhaust done, straight pipe was getting old




Went with a Flowmaster Delta 50 2.5" Single in- Dual out with 4" tips from work. Its an overall mellow sound and has a perfect idle.

Also got a picture next to a friend at work

He now wants to lift his jeep because its tiny compared to me.
